Patent ID: 8398187

Claim:
A refrigerator comprising: a thermally insulated housing including a floor, an access opening, a rear wall and a pair of side walls delimiting an interior space; a pair of chilled-goods containers, the chilled-goods containers being at a location adjacent to one another within the interior space at a spacing from the floor and the access opening; a plurality of extending elements, with each of the extending elements including two substantially identical pairs of mutually engaging rails, with each pair including an inner rail and an outer rail, wherein each outer rail is extendable independently of the other; a pair of transverse bearings extending between the sidewalls; and a longitudinal bearing mounted to the pair of traverse bearings along an underside of the longitudinal bearing and extending between the chilled-goods containers, the longitudinal bearing including a catch projection extending downwardly from a bottom edge thereof, with the catch projection extending longitudinally between each traverse bearing of the pair of traverse bearings, wherein the longitudinal bearing supports at least one extending element and the pair of side walls supports at least one extending element, wherein the extending elements guide the chilled-goods container for (i) extension thereof out of the interior space beyond the access opening and (ii) retraction into the interior space, wherein a parallel relationship is maintained between the extending elements to prevent jamming of the chilled goods containers during extension.
