ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator door shelf arrangement wherein the door liner has opposing side panels with corresponding front to back slots or guide channels at a plurality of vertical positions. The slots are formed by a plurality of horizontal ribs, each of which has a laterally facing notch. Bucket shelves have lateral horizontal runners on the sides arranged to be received in sliding engagement in corresponding slots. Each side of a shelf has a flap that can bend inwardly. As the runners of the shelf are being inserted into corresponding slots, a ramp tab on each flap engages the rib above the runner thereby causing the flap to be bent away from the rib until the tab aligns with and enters the respective notch of the rib. Thus, in the fully inserted position, the shelf is securely mounted, and movement upward, downward, or frontward is prevented. Manual bending of the flaps away from the ribs permits the shelf to be removed for cleaning or to be mounted at an alternate vertical position.
