ABSTRACT:
A molded refrigerator shelf useful for containment of spills on the shelf includes a shelf member with a rim molded around the perimeter edge of the shelf member to form a liquid tight seal between the rim and the shelf member. The molded rim projects above the top surface of the shelf member to form a liquid dam for containing spills to the shelf member. The shelf is cantilevered upon support brackets from the rear wall of a refrigerator. The support brackets are adapted to support the shelf at a plurality of vertical positions. The support brackets are integrally molded with the molded rim, or separately formed and attached to the rim during molding. Slide tracks are optionally provided on the support brackets for slidably receiving and supporting a storage bin or drawer beneath the shelf. Also, a drain is optionally provided to drain a spill from the shelf.
