No. 14/463,469, filed Aug. 19, 2014, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/891,954, filed May 10, 2013, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/651,842, filed Oct. 15, 2012, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/562,920, filed Sep. 18, 2009, which is a continuation-in-part of International Patent Application No. PCT/US09/48775, filed Jun. 26, 2009, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/216,540, filed May 18, 2009, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/133,273, filed Jun. 27, 2008. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/651,842 is also a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/000,487, which is a U.S. national stage application of International Patent Application No. PCT/US09/48775, filed Jun. 26, 2009, which as described above claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/216,540, filed May 18, 2009, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/133,273, filed Jun. 27, 2008. The entire contents of each of the foregoing applications is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
a shelf panel having a top surface for supporting articles; and
a hydrophobic surface applied in a spill containment pattern on the top surface of the shelf panel such that the hydrophobic surface defines a boundary of a central portion of the top surface of the shelf panel,
the hydrophobic surface is applied in the spill containment pattern on the top surface of the shelf panel, the hydrophobic surface comprising a plurality of edge containment strips, each edge containment strip disposed adjacent to one of a plurality of perimeter edges of the shelf panel, and wherein: (a) at least one of the edge containment strips is offset inward from the respective perimeter edge of the shelf panel, or (b) each of the edge containment strips is located directly at a respective perimeter edge of the shelf panel.
2. The shelf assembly of claim 1, comprising (a) and wherein each of the edge containment strips is offset inward from the respective perimeter edges of the shelf panel.
3. The shelf assembly of claim 1, comprising (a) and wherein the hydrophobic surface comprises a hydrophobic compound applied over a frit layer on the top surface of the shelf panel, but there is no frit layer in an area between the at least one offset edge containment strip and the respective perimeter edge of the shelf panel.
4. The shelf assembly of claim 3, wherein the frit layer is disposed adjacent to and bonded to the top surface of the shelf panel.
5. The shelf assembly of claim 1, wherein said spill containment pattern is a continuous border which defines a single central portion within said border.
6. The shelf assembly of claim 1, wherein the hydrophobic surface comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of fluorocarbons, fluoroalkyl silanes, fluoroalkoxy silanes, fluoroalkyl alkyl silanes, and combinations thereof.
7. The shelf assembly of claim 1, wherein the shelf panel is a refrigerator shelf.
8. The shelf assembly of claim 1, further comprising a pair of brackets for supporting the shelf panel in a cavity of an appliance.
9. The shelf assembly of claim 8, wherein the shelf panel comprises side edges proximate to which the pair of brackets are attached, each bracket including a protector portion that extends laterally outward beyond the corresponding side edge of the shelf panel to thereby provide impact protection to the side edges.
10. The shelf assembly of claim 9, wherein the protector portions of the brackets further extend upward adjacent to the corresponding side edges of the shelf panel to provide further impact protection to the side edges.
11. The shelf assembly of claim 8, wherein each of the brackets is attached to the bottom surface of the shelf panel such that the top surface of the shelf panel is completely free from intrusion or other obstruction, thereby maximizing the available shelf space on the top surface of the shelf panel.
12. The shelf assembly of claim 1, wherein the hydrophobic surface completely encircles the central portion of the top surface of the shelf panel.
13. A method of manufacturing a shelf capable of containing liquid spills thereon, the method comprising:
(a) providing a shelf panel having a top surface;
(b) applying a hydrophobic surface to the top surface of the shelf panel in a spill containment pattern, the hydrophobic surface extending in a plurality of edge containment strips of the containment pattern along a respective plurality of perimeter edges of the shelf panel, wherein applying the hydrophobic surface comprises either: (i) applying the hydrophobic surface of at least one of the edge containment strips offset inward from the respective perimeter edge of the shelf panel, or (ii) applying the hydrophobic surface of each of the edge containment strips directly at a respective perimeter edge of the shelf panel;
(c) wherein applying the hydrophobic surface comprises: (i) applying a hydrophobic compound arranged in the spill containment pattern; and (ii) not applying the hydrophobic compound to a central portion of the top surface of the shelf panel such that the hydrophobic compound defines a boundary of the central portion of the shelf panel.
14. The method of claim 13, comprising (a) and wherein applying the hydrophobic surface to the top surface of the shelf panel comprises applying a frit layer in each of the plurality of edge containment strips to the top surface of the shelf panel at a location that is offset from the respective perimeter edge of the shelf panel.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein applying the frit layer and the hydrophobic compound comprises applying the frit layer and the hydrophobic compound in a spill containment pattern that completely encircles the central portion of the shelf panel.
16. The method of claim 14, comprising (a) and further comprising not applying the frit layer within an area disposed between the at least one offset edge containment strip and the respective perimeter edge of the shelf panel.
curing the frit layer to couple the frit to the top surface of the panel; and
18. The method of claim 17, wherein curing the frit layer comprises heating the frit layer to a temperature in a range of about 1000° F. to about 1400° F.
19. The method of claim 17, wherein curing the hydrophobic compound comprises curing the hydrophobic compound at a temperature in a range of about ambient ° F. to about 600° F.
20. The method of claim 13, wherein applying the hydrophobic compound comprises applying a hydrophobic solution comprising the hydrophobic compound dispersed or dissolved in a solvent to the cured frit.
