    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The door includes a door body including a door liner, a front plate, a cap decor connected to the door liner and the front plate and having a recessed handle, and an insulator filled between the door liner, the front plate, and the cap decor. The door includes a panel assembly detachably mounted on a front surface of the door body and defining a front surface of the door. The panel assembly includes a panel defining an outer appearance of the front surface of the door and an insertion protrusion protruding backward from the panel and inserted into a front surface of the cap decor when the panel is mounted to restrict the panel assembly. The insertion protrusion extends from the outside of a recessed space of the handle in a direction crossing the recessed space.

    Abstract: While standing desks take up their own floor space in a home or housing unit, which can diminish the usability of the space and be costly to work, working-from-home, and daily life, and are a separate item a home resident/worker/student must acquire, the refrigerator installed in or near the kitchen is considered essential to a home, or housing unit and already takes up an expected place on the home's unit's floor space. The space in front of the refrigerator is also already presumed to remain clear, because via the front refrigerator door is the way that food and beverages are stored in and accessed from the refrigerator. Because this is naturally already used space in a home, the resident utilizing that space for a second productive function of dwelling in a home—being able to work or study from home—is an improved use of the space directly in front of the refrigerator. The already-assumed refrigerator location, having an essential and unchanged footprint, also affords a top surface already. The Refrigerator Standing Desk invention is the solution to using the outer surfaces of the appliance where housing residents store food as a highly ergonomic and sustainably functioning desk where the resident can stand for work or study.
    By not taking up floor space, the Refrigerator Standing Desk benefits residents, homeowners, tenants, landlords, homebuilders, housing developments, work-from-home employees, work-from-home entrepreneurs, and students. The user also benefits with the proximity and ease of chilled and stored food access.
    The invention's frame consists of an alcove for the input human-computer interaction (HCI) devices and the user's arms, which is a deep indentation of empty space providing the area for the adjustable platform on which can rest the computer keyboard, mouse, and user's hands, wrists, and forearms. The alcove shaped area in the Refrigerator Standing Desk affords use of the keyboard and mouse in an ergonomic standing position.
    Additional innovation consists of:



    A platform to secure, support, protect, raise, lower, tilt, shift left and right, and connect the user' s laptop or portable computer.
    A monitor attachment system, consisting of a groove into which a flat monitor can be secured
    An addition of cabling space designated within the walls of the known refrigerator appliance, and surfacing through the walls at designated port-connection locations such as the unit top surface and the mid-height alcove surface. The cabling channels are spaces through which data typical connection cables (such as USB) can be fed, connecting keyboard, mouse, and monitor connection with the state-of-the-art technology. The connection cables can be fed in-factory or by user. A single connector cord (e.g. USB) extends out of the top of the appliance for the laptop to plug into. This single computer connector also connects with the Connection Hub where the numerous interface devices are all connected. Connection feeds then run from the Hub to the Alcove, where would rest the keyboard and mouse.
    Access doors to chilled food and beverage being placed above and below the Alcove in a way of storing and accessing them that maximizes access with minimized infringement on concentration and work. The food and drink storage and door innovations minimize distracting stepping, turning, bending, or reaching, such as when doing a video call, meeting, or simply focused on the work or study.

    Abstract: A bracket system for coupling an appliance to a cabinet structure includes a mounting bracket having an inner wall spaced-apart from an outer wall and a plurality of apertures is provided through the outer wall. The inner wall couples to the outer surface of the appliance in assembly. A trim member includes first and second mounting portions and an abutment portion inwardly offset from the first and second mounting portions. The first and second mounting portions each include a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough. An inner surface of the first mounting portion abuts the outer wall of the mounting bracket, such that the apertures disposed therebetween are aligned. The second mounting portion includes a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough, and an outer surface of the second mounting portion is configured to abut the inner surface of the cabinet compartment for mounting thereto.

    Abstract: An apparatus for cooling bottled beverages may include an open-topped vessel defining a bottle chamber. The vessel may have a tubular wall and a base. The apparatus may further include a cooling device in thermal communication with the base of the vessel and with a heat exchanger. The apparatus may also include a tubular housing surrounding the vessel and enclosing the cooling device and the heat exchanger. Additionally, the apparatus may include a fan configured to provide an air flow along an airflow path. The airflow path may extend from an inlet of the housing, across the heat exchanger, to an outlet of the housing.
