A storage bin comprising a receptacle for receiving items to be stored, a cover fixedly attached to a structure substantially above a floor, the cover abutting the structure on at least one side of the cover, the cover shaped to slidably receive the receptacle so that receptacle is partly enclosed by the cover and forming a cavity between the cover and the receptacle, and a connection and articulating mechanism for connecting the receptacle to the cover and guiding the receptacle downward from the cover an open position and guiding the receptacle upward to the cover a closed position. The storage bin has the capability of being operated manually or electronically via a remote control. Alternatively, the storage bin may also comprise a receptacle frame and a mounting support rather than a receptacle and a cover, respectively.

A sales display unit (12A) adapted to present one or more products (32), comprising at least one module (36, 38) for displaying a set of products (48), and a processing unit comprising a processor and a memory, the module comprising: a receptacle (50) comprising a detection member (68), and a product support (52) and an identification member (84).

The detection member is adapted to cooperate with the identification member to identify the product support, and to send the processing unit information representative of the identified product support being in an installed position, the memory comprising information which, when executed by the processor, causes the processing unit to send information relating to the product set to a server and/or screen (76A).

Various embodiments of a storage device are provided. The storage device includes one or more storage compartment that are slideable with respect to sidewalls of the storage device. The containers are also rotateable with respect to the sidewalls of the storage device, thereby permitting improved accessibility to the storage compartment in the container.

The reversibly mounted sliding surface extension tray disclosed herein may be reversibly mounted on a flat surface and may provide an extendable tray or shelf for increasing the storage space available to a user. The device may extend or retract, as desired, so as to make use of available free space beyond a countertop or other flat surface. The device may be reversibly mounted to a surface by a vacuum mechanism, such as suction cup devices, by an adhesive, such as glue or tape, or by any other appropriate mechanism. The reversibly mounted sliding surface extension tray may further comprise a motorized design that allows for powered extension or retraction of the tray component.

An actuated holster for a tactical shelf moves from a stowed position to a deployed position automatically when the tactical shelf is opened. The deployed position allows a user to draw a handgun from the tactical shelf safely with one hand. The actuated holster may be moved back to the stowed position to close the tactical shelf. In some embodiments of the actuated holster a biasing mechanism rapidly moves the holster from the stowed position to the deployed position simultaneously with the opening of the tactical shelf gun compartment. In some embodiments the biasing mechanism comprises one or more springs that urge the holster from the stowed position to the deployed position. A stop member is provided to resist the biasing mechanism when the holster reaches a desired deployed position.

Disclosed are various embodiments of a free standing paper organizational system comprising: a base; at least one vertical support member having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the base; a handle component coupled to the second end of the at least one vertical support member; at least one fixed or removable shelf unit comprising a first shelf member extending from the vertical support member at a predetermined angle.

Systems and methods are presented herein for a mounting apparatus configured to arrange a retractable kitchen within a vehicle enclosure. The mounting apparatus comprises a first slot configured to accommodate an alignment protrusion of a kitchen module. The mounting apparatus further comprises a second slot configured to accommodate a locking assembly, which, when actuated into a locking position prevents translation of the kitchen module along the second slot. The mounting apparatus shall be arranged on a bottom side of the vehicle enclosure and shall have a retractable kitchen module fixedly attached to the mounting apparatus. The retractable kitchen module comprises a kitchen module enclosure configured to move from a stored position to an extended positioned, and a kitchen work surface configured to extend away from the front side of the vehicle enclosure.

A laundry system having a first laundry appliance for washing fabric items, a second laundry appliance for drying fabric items horizontally arranged relative to the first laundry appliance, a washing module vertically arranged above one of the first laundry appliance or the second laundry appliance, and a non-tumble drying module vertically arranged above the other of the first laundry appliance or the second laundry appliance for drying fabric items.

A convertible item of furniture including: a plurality of shelf units, wherein each shelf unit has a horizontally extending leave and at least one leave support for supporting the leave; a drive system operably connected to each leave support such that the leaves remain horizontal when the shelf units are moved between a vertical configuration and a horizontal configuration; and, an anti-tip leg system. The anti-tip leg system has a front leg assembly and a rear leg assembly including an upwardly extending pair of rear legs, each rear leg comprising a rear leg upper region operably connected to a shelf unit or a part of the drive system, and a rear leg lower region supporting at least one wheel, and a linkage assembly interconnecting the front and rear leg assemblies. A spacing between the front and rear leg lower regions increases as the shelf units move towards the horizontal configuration.
