An overhead storage unit includes a pivot arm extending from a first end to a second end. The first end is pivotably mountable to a fixed pivot and the pivot arm is pivotable about a pivot axis defined by the pivot. A storage container having interconnected walls defines a storage container interior. One of the interconnected walls is a conforming wall. The storage container is mounted to the pivot arm and pivotable to be raised and lowered between a stored position and an accessible position. In the stored position, the storage container is disposed within the overhead storage area and the conforming wall is upright. In the accessible position, the storage container is disposed below the overhead storage area and the conforming wall provides access to the storage container interior. A residential living unit and method are also disclosed.

A robot cell useful for robot demonstrations. The robot cell includes a base frame having an outer casing and a working surface having a through opening. A multi-axis demonstration robot is mounted to a stand within the base and may selectively be raised through the through opening to a demonstration position above the working surface or a storage position below the working surface and concealed within the base frame outer casing. A protective screen is positioned outside the working surface and base frame and is selectively raised and lowered to respectively surround the working surface and robot during demonstrations and lowered around the base frame during non-use. The base may include one or more retractable drawers for storage of cell control units or a robot controller. When in a storage or non-demonstration position, the cell is transportable and compact taking a minimum amount of space.

A rack and drawer system includes a tray having at least one glider mechanism and at least one rotation mechanism coupled to the side of the tray, wherein the at least one glider mechanism is operable to allow the tray to move back and forth along a glider mechanism axis, and wherein the tray is operable to rotate about the at least one rotation mechanism. In another embodiment, the rack system further includes at least one hinge mechanism coupled to a first end of the at least one glider mechanism, wherein the at least one hinge mechanism is operable to allow the tray to pivotally move relative to a pivot point.

A moveable saddle rack that may be laterally translatable across a trailer, vertically translatable to facilitate user access to an upper saddle seat of the saddle rack, or both laterally translatable and vertically translatable.

A recessed, deployable ceiling box assembly comprising a ceiling frame-mounting member and a ceiling box member, a support member for securing the ceiling frame-mounting member to a ceiling structural member and one or more connector members for attaching the ceiling box member to the ceiling frame-mounting member. The ceiling box member is deployable from a retracted position, where the ceiling box member is retained within the ceiling frame-mounting member at or above the height of the ceiling, to a deployed position, where the ceiling box member hangs by the connector member below the height of the ceiling. A door may be used to cover the contents of the deployable ceiling box assembly.

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.

Disclosed are various embodiments of storage systems. In some embodiments, the storage system includes an upper frame, a guide tube that supports the upper frame, a pivot arm, and a side support. A first end of the pivot arm is rotatably coupled to the guide tube, and a second end of the pivot arm is rotatably coupled to a fixed pivot point. The side support includes a guide post that is inserted into the guide tube. The guide tube is configured to move along the guide post.
