Benefits of technology
This patent describes an appliance drawer assembly and a refrigeration appliance with a drawer assembly that can redirect airflow from a cold air dispensing unit. The drawer assembly includes side walls, a rear wall, and a pivot assembly that can move the rear wall from a first position to a second position, which is further away from the front wall. This design allows the refrigeration appliance to have better airflow and cooling efficiency. In addition, the patent also describes a refrigeration appliance with a top cover that extends over an open storage area and a scoop section integrated into the rear wall of the appliance. This design makes it easier to access and use the refrigeration appliance.
Problems solved by technology
In traditional refrigeration appliances, the cool air discharged into the fresh food compartment may not achieve a uniform distribution to every portion of the compartment.
This can result in various issues, including relatively faster food spoilage stored in the drawer assemblies.
Of course, there are other food products that may benefit from reduced airflow, and may degrade if the airflow into the drawer is too strong.

An appliance drawer assembly configured to redirect airflow from a cold air dispensing unit. The drawer assembly includes at least one drawer, a top cover, and a pivot assembly. The drawer includes a first and second side wall, a rear wall, a front wall, and a bottom wall that together define an open storage area therein. The pivot assembly is configured to pivot the rear wall from a first position to a second position. The pivot assembly can include a grip portion and an arm portion slidably coupled to the top of the first side wall, or a pin coupled to the first side wall to engage the rear wall. The drawer can also include at least one integral scoop.
Description
FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present application relates generally to an appliance drawer. More particularly, it relates to an appliance drawer configured to redirect at least some of the airflow from a cold air dispensing unit.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Refrigeration appliances, such as domestic refrigerators, are often provided with an air distribution system, such as an air duct or an air tower assembly, for the purpose of directing and dispersing cold air into one of the freezer and fresh food compartments. Often, the cold air is directed from the freezer compartment to the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. In bottom-mount refrigerators, the air tower extends vertically between the lower freezer compartment and the upper fresh food compartment to deliver cold air from an evaporator assembly located in the freezer compartment into the fresh food compartment. The air tower can discharge cold air into the fresh food compartment from one or more openings in the air tower....
