Drawer system including cover
A drawer system includes a drawer and a drawer cover. The drawer can include an open top and be configured to be supported at a supporting structure, such as a refrigerator fresh food compartment for example, for selective sliding movement outwardly from the supporting structure and sliding movement inwardly toward the supporting structure. The drawer cover can be configured to be mounted at the supporting structure in engagement with the drawer at the open top of the drawer for movement directly vertically upwardly at the supporting structure away from the open top of the drawer when the drawer is moved outwardly from the supporting structure and for movement directly vertically downwardly at the supporting structure toward the open top of the drawer when the drawer is moved inwardly toward the supporting structure.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REPOSITIONING OBJECTS
Systems for repositioning objects, such as, for example, food items in a refrigerator, are provided. The systems may include a platform having a support surface upon which the objects are supported, an electromagnet positioned beneath the platform, a motion system coupled to electromagnet, and a control system electronically and/or communicatively coupled to the motion system and the electromagnet. The control system may be configured to controllably move the electromagnet beneath the support surface and to selectively activate and deactivate the electromagnet in coordination with said movement to reposition the objects. Related methods of repositioning objects are also provided.
Surgical drape cooling
A surgical system drape incudes: a sheath having an interior cavity sized to cover a portion of a surgical system manipulator; an adaptor coupled to the sheath and including a manipulator interface and an instrument interface, the manipulator interface configured to couple with a drive interface of the manipulator, the instrument interface being configured to couple with a drive interface of a surgical instrument mounted to the manipulator; and a fluid conduit coupled to the sheath and extending within the interior cavity of the sheath, the fluid conduit configured to receive a flow of cooling fluid at a fluid port and convey the fluid along the interior cavity of the sheath to cool a component of a portion of the manipulator.
Coolers with telescoping apparatus for access of separate contents
Systems and methods for a cooler with a telescoping apparatus for access of separate contents to the main container are disclosed. In one embodiment, a telescoping cooler for access into an insulated container is provided, the telescoping cooler comprising a telescoping bar having a compressed configuration and an extended configuration, wherein the telescoping bar in the extended configuration allows a user to exchange one or more contents of a connected carrier train without opening a primary opening of the insulated container; the connected carrier train attached to the telescoping bar, wherein the connected carrier train comprises a plurality of compartments for holding the one or more contents; a cache enclosure separating the connected carrier train from the insulated container when the telescoping bar is in the compressed configuration.
STORAGE DRAWER ASSEMBLY FOR A REFRIGERATOR APPLIANCE
A refrigerator appliance may define a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction and may include a cabinet that may define a chilled chamber, a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet, the door may be rotatable between an open position and a closed position, and a storage drawer assembly positioned within the chilled chamber. The storage drawer assembly may include a drawer positioned within the cabinet that may define a storage compartment. The storage drawer assembly may include a side support. The storage drawer assembly may include a lid moveably mated to the side support. The lid may be moveable between a shut position and a tucked position. The storage drawer assembly may include a locking assembly that may include a latch disposed at the side support in selective engagement with the lid in the tucked position to selectively lock the lid in the tucked position.
