ABSTRACT:
A slide-out shelf assembly for a refrigerator includes a pair of supports mounted in spaced apart relationship in a refrigerated compartment. Each support includes a top wall and a pair of spaced apart, depending side walls. The lateral edge portions of a shelf structure are mounted for sliding movement on the support top walls between a retracted position fully contained in the refrigerated compartment and an extended position at least partly out of the refrigerated compartment. A latch member is mounted between the side walls of one of the supports and includes a resilient finger having a rest position in which a portion of the finger projects through an opening in one of the support side walls. The corresponding lateral edge portion of the shelf structure interfits with the projecting portion of the latch to releasably retain the shelf in its retracted and its extended positions and to prevent the shelf structure from being moved out of the refrigerator further than its extended position.
