Abstract

A refrigeration appliance includes an insulated cabinet forming an interior cavity. A refrigeration system cools the interior cavity. A first light source emits light into the interior cavity along a first illumination axis. A second light source for emits light into the interior cavity along a second illumination axis. A bottle storage rack is located within the insulated cabinet. The bottle storage rack includes a first rung pair, a second rung pair, and a third rung pair. The first illumination axis passes between a rung of the first rung pair and a rung of the second rung pair, and the second illumination axis passes between another rung of the second rung pair and a rung of the third rung pair.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to domestic refrigeration appliances, and more particularly to refrigerated storage cabinets for bottled wine (hereinafter referred to as “wine coolers”).[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Wine coolers may have an internal light source for illuminating the refrigerated wine storage cavity. The light source may be activated whenever a closure panel for the cooler, such as a door, is in the open position. During normal operation, the light source may be partially or wholly obscured by stored wine bottles, which can create undesired shadows within the storage cavity. It would be desirable to provide a wine cooler having a light source that is configured to directly shine light from one side of the storage cavity to another, opposing side of the storage cavity, regardless of whether the wine cooler is fully stocked with wine bottles, partially stocked, or empty.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENT...
