19 and 20, the only other claims pending in the application,
stand withdrawn

The subject matter on appeal relates to “an appliance

the appliance” (specification, page 1). Claim 1 is

comprising:
a pair of substantially planar parallel sidewalls, a rear
wall, a top wall and a bottom wall integrally forming an
interior of the refrigeration device;
said sidewalls each having at least one slot integrally
formed therein supporting at least one shelf therein such that
said shelf is supported in a horizontal plane by a bottom
surface of at least one of said slots, each of said at least
one slots extending into a plane of the sidewalls away from
the interior of the refrigeration device; and
a limit means in each of said slots preventing said shelf
supported on said bottom surface from moving in at least one
direction.
The references relied upon by the examiner as evidence of
obviousness are:
