Abstract:
A rack and drawer system includes a tray having at least one glider mechanism and at least one rotation mechanism coupled to the side of the tray, wherein the at least one glider mechanism is operable to allow the tray to move back and forth along a glider mechanism axis, and wherein the tray is operable to rotate about the at least one rotation mechanism. In another embodiment, the rack system further includes at least one hinge mechanism coupled to a first end of the at least one glider mechanism, wherein the at least one hinge mechanism is operable to allow the tray to pivotally move relative to a pivot point.
Abstract:
Rack and drawer systems include a first tray configured to receive spices and/or other objects, a first glider mechanism coupled to the first tray on a first side, the first glider mechanism further configured to couple to a first additional object, the first additional object selected from the group including an external structure, an extension housing coupled to the external structure, and a first backer plate coupled to the external structure, and a first cam mechanism coupled to the first tray on the first side, the first cam mechanism structured to fit within a first guide channel defined within the additional object, wherein the first tray is structured to extend from the external structure in at least a horizontal manner.
Abstract:
This invention provides for an apparatus for storing one or more items. The apparatus comprises a first part adapted to be mounted to a surface or a wall and a second part mounted by a linkage arrangement to a sliding mechanism that can slidably move relative to the first part. The second part is adapted to store or hold one or more items. The second part is movable relative to the first part such that the second part can be moved from a storage position to a first access position at which the second part is at one level. The linkage arrangement is operative to move the second part from the first access position to a second access position, the second access position being located at a level spaced from that of the first access position.
Abstract:
A modular storage unit for a cabinet or other support structure comprising a support structure and a storage unit movably coupled to a lateral portion of the support structure. The support structure may include a cavity with an opening thereto, the size of the cavity being sufficient to receive at least a portion of the storage unit. The storage unit may be slidably coupled to the support structure via a base member and may be rotatably coupled thereto. The storage unit may be independently rotatable about a vertical axis.
Abstract:
A computer enclosure includes a base (10), a side panel (80), a top panel (90), and a locking bar (50). The locking bar independently and readily secures the side and top panels to the enclosure. Either of the side and top panels can be detached from the enclosure independently, without affecting the attachment of the other to the enclosure. The enclosure is also easily protected from being opened by unauthorized persons.
Abstract:
A drawer slide has an outer rail forming a plurality of parallel and inwardly open tracks, an inner rail fitting in the outer rail and having a plurality of flat surfaces each confronting and extending parallel to a respective one of the tracks, and a respective row of balls in each of the tracks and riding on the respective inner-rail surface. The outer rail has a normally horizontal bight portion having outer edges, respective planar lower side portions extending upward from the outer edges and forming therewith corners in turn forming tracks, respective planar upper side portions extending upward from upper edges of the lower side portions, and respective planar upper end portions extending inward from upper edges of the upper side portions and forming therewith corners in turn forming tracks. Similarly, the inner rail has a normally horizontal bight portion having outer edges, respective planar upper side portions extending downward from the outer edges and forming upper outer surfaces confronting the corners between the respective outer-rail upper end portions and outer-rail upper side portions, and respective planar lower side portions extending downward from lower edges of the inner-rail upper side portions and forming lower outer surfaces confronting the corners between the respective outer-rail lower side portions and the outer rail bight portion.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a storage apparatus adapted for easy mounting in a position for use such as under the dashboard of an automobile. The storage apparatus includes a support or housing member adapted for mounting as above indicated and disposed therewithin is an object-containing member in the form of an open top box which is slidable from a closed position in the housing (for temporary storage) to an open and secured position with the open side of the box exposed so the contents retained therein may be readily removed therefrom. The contents in the box are stored in enclosures which are slidably mounted within the box and may be individually partially removed therefrom.
Abstract:
A container apparatus comprising a plurality of operatively connected interleavable receptacles forming a closed unitary structure when in a closed position. Each of the plurality of receptacles is preferably supported from a sidewall in a position such that the receptacles will be interleaved when the container is closed and will be spaced apart when the container is open providing ready access to the contents contained therein.
