Abstract:

A compact refrigerator cabinet has a top storage container removably retained on its upper wall by means of a U-shaped top trim frame which extends along the front and side edges of the cabinet providing opposed trackways which normally retain a top panel. Flange means are provided on the underside of the container base which are slidably received in the trackways to provide a composite structure. The container has a generally half-round configuration including a concavo-convex top wall extending through a predetermined obtuse angle to define a front access opening. The base wall has a transverse shoulder formed by a notched portion extending inwardly from its front edge and a closure member pivotally supported adjacent the shoulder whereby the closure may be pivoted downwardly from an upstanding overcenter position closing the access opening to a horizontal position substantially flush with the cabinet base wall.
