UNDER-BED STORAGE UNIT FREESTANDING
An under-bed storage unit is disclosed in which a freestanding structure is disposed under a bed frame and bears a generally circular platform thereon. The platform has a cut edge configured to be flush with the margin of the bedframe so that when the platform is not in use, it does not extend beyond the bed frame and is therefore out of the way. However, upon rotation, the arc of 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 and is then returned to its stored position. A number of variations of under-bed storage units utilizing freestanding supports, platforms of various sizes and shapes, structural and aesthetic platform feature, and associated support structures are also disclosed.

SANITIZING CABINET FOR BANK TELLERS
An ultraviolet light (UV) sanitizing cabinet for banking equipment may include one or more UV light assemblies coupled to an electronics module and disposed within a housing. In some examples, the UV sanitizing cabinet may include racks or compartments configured to receive pneumatic tube canisters. In some examples, the UV sanitizing cabinet may include rollers or tumblers configured to rotate the pneumatic tube canisters to allow UV sanitization of all sides of the canisters.
Rack
The invention relates to a rack for a cabinet, preferably a corner cabinet, comprising at least two shelves, which can be rotated about an axis and can be slid transversely to the axis. The shelves can be operated independently of each other, can be arranged one over the other, and can be slid on shelf supports. The shelves are mounted on the shelf supports in such a way that rotation by 360° is enabled. Each shelf not mounted on a bottom of the cabinet is mounted on at least one support, which can be fastened to a stable wall in a rear region of the cabinet and is arranged in such a way that the height of the support can be varied.
SUPPORT FRAME
A support frame includes a column, a rocker arm, a tray, an adjustment shaft and a fixing block. The column is vertically arranged, the rocker arm is horizontally arranged, and the column and the rocker arm are connected by a hinge. The rocker arm includes a transverse support tube connected to the hinge, and the adjustment shaft is arranged inside the transverse support tube. An elastic member has one end connected to the adjustment shaft and another end connected to the column or the hinge. The transverse support tube is provided with multiple U-shaped grooves, and the fixing block is arranged outside the transverse support tube, and the tray is connected to the fixing block. The fixing block passes through the U-shaped groove to be connected to the adjustment shaft; or, a screw passes through the U-shaped groove, to connect the fixing block to the adjustment shaft.
Shelf assembly
A shelf assembly (1) for products comprising a shelving section (5) with at least one shelf (6), which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (13) between a display position, in which the shelf is accessible from the front (7) of the shelving section, and a refill position, in which the shelf is accessible from the rear (8) of the shelving section. The shelf assembly further comprises a support (9), which has a sledge (10) rotatably supporting the shelving section and being movable in a forward-rearward direction. When the shelving section is rotated from the display position to the refill position, the sledge is first moved forwards, and then rearwards back to its starting position. The shelving section further comprises a frame (16) having opposite first and second side posts (17, 18), wherein the shelf is mounted between the side posts at art arbitrary height. The shelf is provided with a respective clamping portion at opposite ends of the shelf, fixing the shelf at the side posts. Each clamping portion comprises a hook portion engaged with a respective side post at a first surface thereof, and a tightening portion engaged with an opposite second surface of the side post, wherein the tightening portion is untightenable for arbitrary height movement of the shelf.
Household appliance, in particular a refrigerator or a freezer or a furniture item comprising at least one shelf
A household appliance, in particular a refrigerator or a freezer or a furniture item comprising at least one storage space, in which a support plate is positioned comprising a storage area and a shelf which can be rotationally and translationally moved on the storage area of the support plate, wherein: the shelf comprises a flat storage area which is oriented plane-parallel to the storage area of the support element; the shelf can be rotated relative to the support plate in a first rotational direction and can be displaced in a predefined direction; mutually facing bearing surfaces of the storage areas each have closed peripheral raceway grooves in which rolling elements are guided; the raceway grooves are formed such that, when a force is applied to the shelf in a direction defined in the plane of the storage area, the shelf can be moved, in a movement which is at least partially forcibly guided and which is simultaneously rotational and translational, from a base position into an intermediary position, the shelf being rotated relative to the support plate in one of two possible opposing rotational directions and being displaced in a predefined direction; and the shelf, after being moved into the intermediary position, can be further rotated relative to the support plate in the one of two possible opposing rotational directions and can be displaced counter to the predefined direction and, when rotated by 180°, resumes the base position.
Device for rotationally and translationally moving an object
A device for rotationally and translationally moving an object comprising a flat storage area relative to a storage area of a support plate arranged plane-parallel to the storage area, wherein: the object can be rotated relative to the support plate in one of two possible opposing rotational directions and can be displaced in a predefined direction; mutually facing bearing surfaces of the storage areas each have closed peripheral raceway grooves in which rolling elements are guided; the raceway grooves are formed such that, when a force is applied to the object in a direction defined in the plane of the storage area, the object can be moved, in a movement which is at least partially forcibly guided and which is simultaneously rotational and translational, from a starting position into an intermediary position, the object being rotated relative to the support plate in one of two possible opposing rotational directions and being displaced in a predefined direction; and the object, after being moved into the intermediary position, can further be rotated relative to the support plate in the one of two possible opposing rotational directions and can be displaced counter to the predefined direction, and, when rotated by 180°, resumes the base position.
Cube cabinet
This disclosure relates to a cube rotating cabinet, which comprises: a base, the storage boxes, a rotating mechanism and a hinge. Each storage box is a six-sided cube, one side of which is open. The base of the structure does not move nor rotate. The first side of the base is in contact with the ground, and the second side is in contact with different layers of storage boxes; each layer has four storage boxes, and the opening side of two of the boxes are the same in each layer and are in the opposite direction of the other two. The opening direction between the boxes of the adjacent layers is 90 degrees apart; each layer there is a hinge connection between two adjacent boxes; a rotating mechanism is arranged between the boxes of the adjacent ones, so that the box rotates with the rotating mechanism as a rotating shaft, and the maximum rotation can be to a 180 degrees maximum; surface of the base which is in contact with the storage boxes is provided with four rotating mechanisms, so that the first layer of the box in contact with the surface of the base rotates with the rotating mechanism as a rotating shaft; each layer of the moving device drives the rotation of the box of the next layer and when the upper and lower two boxes are opened or closed, the rotation direction of adjacent layers is opposite.
