Reconfigurable Workspace

The invention is a reconfigurable workspace. The workspace is compact in order to keep components of the workspace within an arm's reach while standing in a fixed location. The workspace is made up of two rectangular housings, preferably of the same compact size and shape. The first housing has at least a sink and a counter space, though it could have other appliances. The second housing has a circulating storage system, preferably an automated storage and retrieval system that delivers items to a convenient access point. The two housings are repositionable in relation to each other along a fixed path. An apparatus such as a hinge or a set of tracks repositions the housings in relation to each other along the fixed path.

20180049545 · 2018-02-22 ·

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.

FURNITURE ELEMENT

A furniture element has an outer structure and an inner structure that is movable relative to the outer structure by a translatory/rotary bearing. Each structure has a bottom panel, a top panel and at least one side wall, which connects the bottom panel and the top panel to one another. A guide bearing is arranged between the top panels and/or between the bottom panels of the structures. The guide bearing has a curved guide path, a guide element guided in the guide path and a linear guide with connection parts which can be displaced relative to one another. The translatory/rotary bearing is positioned between the bottom panels when the guide bearing is arranged between the top panels, and is positioned between the top panels when the guide bearing is arranged between the bottom panels.

Customizable shower caddy

There is provided a customizable shower caddy. The shower caddy includes connectors that can be set at various heights along a rod that is supported between a shower basin or tub at the bottom and a ceiling at the top. Product holders can be connected to the connectors at different positions about the rod. This provides flexibility in the layout of which direction the product holders extend from the rod, which enables the shower caddy to be set up for use in a corner, along a wall or in the center of the shower or tub.

ROTATING ELEMENT, FURNITURE AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING A TRANSLATIONAL-ROTATIONAL FITTING OF A ROTATING ELEMENT

A rotating element with a cuboid body has a base, a ceiling, support elements connecting the base to the ceiling, and a translational-rotational fitting with a base plate and a rotating plate, with which the rotating element can be moved in a combined translational-rotational movement from an initial position into an open end position and back into the initial position. A positioning plate is arranged between the rotating plate and the base or the ceiling of the body. The positioning plate is fastenable to the rotating plate in different predetermined positions from one another, the predetermined positions being selected such that adjacent outer edges of the rotating element, which are located opposite the outer edges of the body and aligned at right angles to one another, lie on the imaginary boundary lines in the open end position of the rotating element.

Rotating organizer

In some examples, a rotational organizer includes first and second support frames, first and second side supports configured to couple to the first and second support frames via a tab and slot arrangement to span the first and second support frames, first and second end caps, and an axle configured to pass through a center point of the first and second end caps to pivotally couple at a first end to the first support frame and at a second end to the second support frame, wherein the axle couples to the first and second end caps via a snap-fit, and wherein the axle comprises a lattice reinforcement structure.

A storage apparatus includes trays, a shaft, a base element and two wheel assemblies. The shaft is inserted in the trays to connect the trays to one another so that each of the trays is rotatable between a withdrawn position and a spread position relative to a lower one of the trays. The base element is attached to the shaft. The base element is connected to a second one of the trays by a connecting element. The base element is located below the lowermost tray when the trays overlap one another. The first wheel assembly includes wheels attached to the lowermost tray. The second wheel assembly includes wheels attached to the base element. The wheels cover a first area when the trays overlap one another and cover a second area when the trays fully spread from one another. The first area is smaller than the second area.
