1. A door module assembly for a refrigerator door of a refrigerator appliance, the door module assembly comprising:
a mounting bracket configured to be removably coupled to the refrigerator door to allow the mounting bracket to be moveable between a plurality of mounting locations defined along a height of the refrigerator door, the mounting bracket including a first bracket sidewall and a second bracket sidewall, the first bracket sidewall being spaced apart from the second bracket sidewall so as to define an open bracket volume between the first and second bracket sidewalls; a door tray configured to be at least partially received within the open bracket volume, the door tray including a first tray sidewall, a second tray sidewall, a front tray wall and a rear tray wall, the door tray further including a bottom tray wall and an open-ended top so as to define an open tray volume between the first and second tray sidewalls and between the front and rear tray walls that extends vertically upward from the bottom tray wall, the open tray volume at least partially defining a vertical storage height for storing refrigerated items that extend from the bottom tray wall to a location vertically above the open-ended top of the door tray; and at least one translation device configured in operative association with adjacent walls of the mounting bracket and the door tray, the at least one translation device comprising:
first and second bracket rollers, the first bracket roller being coupled to the first bracket sidewall and being received within a first tray slot extending along the first tray sidewall, the second bracket roller being coupled to the second bracket sidewall and being received within a second tray slot extending along the second tray sidewall; andfirst and second tray rollers, the first tray roller being coupled to the first tray sidewall and being received within a first bracket slot extending along the first bracket sidewall, the second tray roller being coupled to the second tray sidewall and being received within a second bracket slot extending along the second bracket sidewall; wherein the at least one translation device is configured such that the door tray is movable relative to the mounting bracket in a horizontal direction between a retracted position, wherein the front tray wall is spaced apart from a forward edge of the first and second bracket sidewalls by a first distance, and an extended position, wherein the front tray wall is spaced apart from the forward edge by a second distance that is greater than the first distance, wherein the open tray volume defined by the door tray is accessible when the door tray is in both the retracted position and the extended position, the open tray volume being exposed to an open interior of the refrigerator appliance when the door tray is in the retracted position and the refrigerator door is closed. |
