Adjustable rotary shelf assembly and method of use
A rotary shelf assembly for a blind corner cabinet is provided. The apparatus is easily reconfigured to accommodate left and right-hand configurations and does not contact the partitions of the cabinet during stowage or deployment. The apparatus is comprised of a center pole secured to a cabinet frame with a universal frame bracket. The frame bracket has a set of opposing flanges attached to a base through which the center pole extends. A rotary coupling is secured to the base of the frame bracket. A rotary support engages the rotary coupling and rotates about the center pole. A shelf is adjustably and slidably attached to the rotary support by a set of slide assemblies. More than one shelf can be independently rotated about the center pole from a stowed position to a rotated position. Each shelf can also slide linearly along the set of slide assemblies to a deployed position.
CRYOGENIC STORAGE RACK INCLUDING ROTATABLE SHELVES, AND ASSOCIATED STORAGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A storage rack for storing and retrieving products to be maintained at a desired cryogenic temperature is provided. The storage rack includes an elongate mounting bar carrying a plurality of shelves, and an elongate stop bar that extends generally parallel to the mounting bar. The shelves are independently rotatable relative to the mounting bar towards and away from the stop bar, thereby enabling alignment of all of the shelves when the storage rack is to be stored, and also enabling easy access to each of the individual shelves. A handle projects upwardly and horizontally in a curved configuration from the stop bar and the mounting bar to provide a gripping surface for moving the storage rack. The shelves receive cylindrical vial containers with threadably removable lids to make retrieval and replacement of sample vials quick to perform, thereby avoiding temperature-induced damage to other samples in the storage rack.
Fitting for a corner cupboard and corner cupboard with fitting
A fitting for a corner cupboard comprises a support arm mounted to a basis such that it can be pivoted in a pivoting movement about a first vertical pivot axis; an elongated tray supported on the support arm such that it can be pulled out in a pull-out movement along a horizontal axis. A coupling device coupling the pivoting movement of the support arm to the pull-out movement of the tray comprises a control arm which, at its one end, is mounted to the basis such that it can be pivoted about a second vertical pivot axis and which, at its other end, is mounted to the tray such that it can be pivoted about a third vertical pivot axis. In a pushed-in position of the tray the second pivot axis, when viewing along the horizontal axis, is arranged between the first and third pivot axes.
ROTATABLE STORAGE DEVICE
A storage device comprising a support element attached to a vertical element, the support element including a slot. The slot is accessible from a top surface of the support element and provides a surface to support at least one hook. The hook extends through the slot and below the bottom surface of the support element. The hook provides an interface for hanging and storing an item from the storage device. The storage device may be adapted to rotate within a corner cabinet or be interconnected to a door of a cabinet.
CLOTHING ACCESSORY RACK
A clothing accessory rack that includes a base, a vertical stem, a plurality of circular planar platforms and a stem top. A plurality of rings, a plurality of two-sided hooks, a plurality of ring diameters, a plurality of scarf rings, a plurality of ovals and a plurality of multiple-sided hooks coupled to an outer perimeter of each of the circular platforms. The circular planar platforms rotate from the rotation of the first means for rotating the vertical stem to provide a pleasant aesthetic appearance for the one or more objects or one or more items placed on top of the circular platforms.
Rotary chain rack for recovery vehicles
A rotary chain rack located on a vehicle used to recover disabled vehicles, which may include a lower bin, one or more upper rotating carousels to which hooks carrying chains may be mounted, and a braking device for automatically stopping the rotation of the chain rack.
Device for the translatory and rotary movement of an item relative to a carrier panel
A device for the rotary movement has a planar bearing region relative to a bearing region of a carrier panel. The bearing region is arranged in a plane-parallel state in relation to the bearing region. As seen in the plane of the bearing surfaces, a length of the item is greater than a width of the item. Mutually facing bearing surfaces of the bearing regions have respective running channels, in which rolling-contact bodies are guided. The running channels are formed such that the item is moveable relative to the carrier panel from a starting position into an end position, in which the item has been pivoted through a predetermined angle of between 130? and 180? relative to the carrier panel and can be pivoted in a pivoting direction back into the starting position. A connecting stub projects out from one of the bearing regions and is moveable in a guide track arranged in the other of the two bearing regions. The guide stub is arranged eccentrically on one of the bearing regions and the guide track is in the form of a curve with a varying radius of curvature.
TURNTABLE AND STORAGE CABINET
A turn table includes a tray with heart-shaped and straight sliding rails and a base with first and second rods, wherein the first rod is slidably matched with the heart-shaped sliding rail, and the second rod is slidably matched with the straight sliding rail. When the tray is at an initial position, symmetrical lines of the bottom of the tray and the heart-shaped sliding rail are collinear, and the straight sliding rail extends along the symmetrical line of the heart-shaped sliding rail. When the tray switches from the initial position to a picking position, the first rod slides along the heart-shaped sliding rail and the second rod slides along the straight sliding rail, making the tray rotate circumferentially relative to the base with an outer circumferential surface thereof being prevented from interfering with an inner wall of a chamber for placing the turntable and thus accommodating the tray therein.
ROTATING UNDER-BED STORAGE IN DRAWER
A rotating under-bed storage unit is disclosed in which a drawer is mounted under a bed frame and bears a rotating circular platform within. The drawer with the circular platform is configured to be flush with the margin of the bedframe. When the platform is not in use, it does not extend beyond the bed frame and is therefore out of the way. However, upon sliding the drawer out, the circular platform is exposed and the stored contents of the platform are visible and accessible. The platform is rotated until the desired stored item is located. The drawer is then slid back into its closed stored position. Disclosed are multiple variations of rotating under-bed storage units contained in drawers. These variations shown utilize sliding supports, platforms of various sizes, shapes, structural and aesthetic features.
THREE-IN-ONE ROTATABLE KITCHEN SET
A three-in-one storage solution that reduce the space cost in a relatively small space, such as a kitchen in an RV. For example, three kitchen functions can be included in the device. A three-in-one cabinet can include a kitchen set (such as a cook top, oven, stove light, microwave, and the like), a refrigerator and a storage cabinet. These three pieces of furniture are rarely needed to be used at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to save space by combining these three pieces of furniture together in a rotatable mechanism, where a wall-space length of only one of these items is needed and the device can rotate between each of the devices as each one is needed.
