A refrigerator includes: a cabinet; a front panel door part; a drawer part configured to be connected to the front panel door part and to insert into and withdraw from the cabinet based on movement of the front panel door part relative to the cabinet; a support member located in the drawer part and configured to seat an object stored in the drawer part; and an elevation device that is located at each of a first side surface of the drawer part and a second side surface of the drawer part, that is configured to be coupled to each of a first side of the support member and a second side of the support member, and that is configured to elevate the support member relative to the drawer part in a state in which the drawer part is withdrawn from a lower storage space defined in the cabinet.

Disclosed herein is a lifting apparatus and refrigerator having the same, by which a driving motor to generate driving force to vertically move a basket may be miniaturized and the load of the driving motor may be reduced. A refrigerator includes a main body, a storeroom formed inside the main body with an open front, a drawer slidingly coupled with the main body to open or close the storeroom and provided at a lower side thereof with a basket having storage space, and a lifting apparatus moving the basket vertically, wherein the lifting apparatus includes a driving motor, a driving shaft rotated by the driving motor, a lifting unit moving the basket vertically by means of rotational force of the driving shaft, and a coil spring coupled to the driving shaft and transferring energy in a direction in which the driving shaft is rotated to reduce a load of the driving motor, when the driving shaft is rotated to move the basket upward.

A cold storage assembly for viewing and accessing frozen goods includes a box, a cooling module, and a lid. The box defines an interior space, is insulated, and has a top that is open. The cooling module is coupled to the box is configured to lower the temperature of the interior space. A shelving module is slidably coupled to the box and is positioned in the interior space. An actuator that is operationally coupled to the shelving module is positioned to selectively lift the shelving module from the interior space so that a user is positioned to selectively position articles on the shelving module. A first window is positioned in a front of the box to allow the user to view the articles that are positioned on the shelving module within the interior space. The lid, which is insulated, is selectively couplable to the box to close the top.

A functional wall module for at least partially forming an individual space in a building and for positioning and selectively repositioning one or more objects within the individual space. In one implementation, the functional wall module includes a frame having a plurality of frame supports that define an interior space of the frame. The functional wall module additionally includes a bracket configured to support or couple to moveable platforms, the bracket comprising one or more bracket arms extending away from the interior space and from the frame. The functional wall module additionally includes a positioning mechanism within the interior space and connected to the bracket such that the positioning mechanism is operable to reposition the bracket.

A wardrobe apparatus comprising a body supporting a rail, a frame, and a movement mechanism, wherein the actuation means is arranged to move the rail vertically from a first position distal the frame to a second position proximate the frame.

A tool stand provides a tool tray supported on a frame and the tool tray can be lowered on the frame for compact storage and transportation of the tool stand and tools carried by the tray. The tool stand can provide two legs or columns that support the tray and also can be folded at the top to form a bar handle. The tray can be selectable positioned in elevation on the columns. The tool stand can provide magnetic accessories such as a media viewer mount that can be advantageously positioned on the tool tray to assist the user.
