A storage apparatus that stores objects includes a housing; a fixed part disposed in the housing and fixed in a position against the housing; a rotating part connected to the fixed part through a rotating shaft extending in the vertical direction and rotates relative to the fixed part as a center of the rotating shaft; and a rotating shaft driving part that rotates the rotating shaft; wherein the fixed part includes a power-transmission unit that transmits electric power in noncontact state; and the rotating part includes a rotating shelf on which objects are disposed; a power drive device disposed to rotate integrally with the rotating shelf and driven by electric power; and a power-receiving unit that supplies the electric power transmitted from the power-transmission unit to the power drive device.

A device for the rotary movement has a planar bearing region relative to a bearing region of a carrier panel. The bearing region is arranged in a plane-parallel state in relation to the bearing region. As seen in the plane of the bearing surfaces, a length of the item is greater than a width of the item. Mutually facing bearing surfaces of the bearing regions have respective running channels, in which rolling-contact bodies are guided. The running channels are formed such that the item is moveable relative to the carrier panel from a starting position into an end position, in which the item has been pivoted through a predetermined angle of between 130° and 180° relative to the carrier panel and can be pivoted in a pivoting direction back into the starting position. A connecting stub projects out from one of the bearing regions and is moveable in a guide track arranged in the other of the two bearing regions. The guide stub is arranged eccentrically on one of the bearing regions and the guide track is in the form of a curve with a varying radius of curvature.

A revolving shelf system including side plates to be mounted on opposite side walls of a cabinet, a drive track on a face of each of the side plates, a plurality of guide tracks on the faces of the side plates, a plurality of shelves, a drive pin arranged on each end of the shelves, and configured to extend respectively into each of the drive tracks, a plurality of guide pins arranged on each end of the shelves, and configured to extend respectively into corresponding ones of the guide tracks, a drive chain arranged in each of the side plates to respectively drive the drive pins, and a motor to transmit driving power to the drive chains, wherein the shelves move with a rotation of the drive chains, and the drive and guide pins remain extended into the respective drive and guide pin tracks at any position of the shelves.

A personal protective equipment sanitizing assembly includes a cabinet that is comprised of a translucent material to pass light therethrough. An upper door is hingedly coupled to the cabinet and a lower door is hingedly coupled to the cabinet. A cart is rollably positioned in the cabinet and the cart is rollable onto the lower door when the lower door is opened for accessing the cart. A carousel unit is rotatably coupled to the cart and the carousel unit includes a plurality of suspensions to support a respective one of a plurality of face masks or other personal protective equipment. A plurality of light emitters is each coupled to the cart to emit light onto the carousel unit. Each of the light emitters has an operational wavelength ranging between approximately 10.0 nm and 400.0 nm for sterilizing the face masks.

A sanitizing mask rack apparatus for storing and sanitizing face masks includes a base having a base top side, a base bottom side, and a base perimeter. A stand is coupled to the base. The stand is coupled to the base top side and extends perpendicularly upwards. A carrousel is coupled to the stand. The carrousel has a carrousel inner perimeter rotatably coupled to the stand and a carrousel outer perimeter. A plurality of hooks is coupled to the carrousel. The plurality of hooks extends from the carrousel outer perimeter. Each of the plurality of hooks secures a face mask. A plurality of ultraviolet (UV) lights is coupled to the stand. The plurality of UV lights sanitizes the face masks. A power source is coupled to the base and is in operational communication with the plurality of UV lights.

A storage system with platforms for storing items, which are movable along a prescribed path, features an internal electrical power distribution system for supplying electrical power at each of the movable platforms to operate electrical devices, such as refrigerators or chargers. The power distribution system comprises a set of distribution terminals electrically connected to an external electrical power source, such as mains power, which extend along respective paths which follow the prescribed path of movement of the platforms. Further, the distribution system comprises a plurality of electrical bridging assemblies respectively bridging between the platforms and the distribution terminals. The electrical bridging assemblies are mechanically connected in fixed relation to the platforms and connected in movable electrical contact with the distribution terminals.

A storage tree, including a rotatable base, a center post attached to a center portion of the base, a plurality of outer posts attached to the base at outer portions of the base, and a plurality of panels disposed between each of the plurality of outer posts and the center post.
