Abstract

Disclosed is a modular cabinet for storage of items in a refrigerator. The modular cabinet includes plurality of cabinets replaceably attached to the refrigerator. Each of the plurality of cabinets includes a rear wall configured to fit along the length of the refrigerator, a first sidewall attached to the rear wall configured to fit along the breadth of the refrigerator, a front wall attached to the first sidewall configured parallel to the rear wall; and plurality of shelves configured along the breadth of the first sidewall and between the rear wall and the front wall, wherein each shelf are spaced together to store items; wherein the rear wall, first sidewall and front wall are replaceably attached to the refrigerator.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 - 9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . A modular refrigerator, with an interior defined by a back, top, bottom, two connecting sides, and an attached movable front door, the modular refrigerator consisting essentially of:
 a) a cabinet, slidably attached to an interior of the modular refrigerator, consisting essentially of;
 i) a back wall, parallel to the two sides of the modular refrigerator, and proximate to at least one of the two sides of the modular refrigerator when the cabinet is fully inserted into the modular refrigerator; 
 ii) a rear sidewall, attached to the back wall, being parallel to the back of the modular refrigerator, and being proximate to the back of the modular refrigerator when the cabinet is fully inserted into the modular refrigerator; 
 iii) a front sidewall, coupled to the back wall, being parallel to the first side wall, and being proximate to the front door of the modular when the cabinet is fully inserted into the modular refrigerator; and 
 iv) a shelf, coupled to the cabinet, and positioned along the back wall and between the front and rear sidewalls, and being parallel to the bottom of the modular refrigerator; 
   b) a moving device, coupled between the modular refrigerator and the cabinet, holding the cabinet in a first position that completely positions the cabinet within the modular refrigerator, and a second position that substantially positions the cabinet outside the modular refrigerator so that the front and rear sidewalls are parallel the back of the modular refrigerator, the front sidewall is extended out of the interior of the modular refrigerator, the rear sidewall is extended to be proximate to the exterior of the modular refrigerator; and   c) an opening, completely positioned to take up all space located between the back wall and the rear and front sidewalls, and the shelf, positioned to enable a user to reach through the opening without encountering any other wall therein to easily grasp items on the shelf without having to reach into the interior of the modular refrigerator when the moving device is in the second position.   
     
     
         11 . The modular refrigerator of  claim 10 , wherein the shelf has a width that is adjustable to make the overall shelf width smaller or larger. 
     
     
         12 . The modular refrigerator of  claim 11 , wherein the shelf is adjustable by having a first and second section being parallel to each other, wherein the first section is designed to slide over the second section to thus decrease the overall width of the entire shelf.
