Patent ID: 8100488

Claim:
A refrigerating appliance comprising: a housing defining an internal space; a support member attached to the housing; a storage element retained in a height-adjustable manner by a plurality of arms pivotable about parallel and spaced apart first axes fixed with respect to the housing, the plurality of arms being pivotable about parallel and spaced apart second axes fixed with respect to the storage element, and a coupling device connecting the plurality of arms such that the first axes are maintained in a first plane and the second axes are maintained in a second plane, and the first plane is maintained parallel to the second plane thereby inhibiting pivoting of the arms in opposite directions, wherein the storage element is movable between a first position at a first positional limit of the pivoting of the arms and a second position at a second positional limit of the pivoting of the arms, the second positional limit being opposite the first positional limit, and the storage element is configured to rest against the housing or the support member in both the first position and the second position under only the force of gravity.
