A refrigerator includes a lift that moves a container upward and downward. The refrigerator may include: a cabinet having a storage chamber provided therein and an opening; at least one door provided such that a front of the storage chamber provided in the cabinet is opened and closed; a cooling device cooling the storage chamber; the lift provided at a side of the storage chamber to fold downward and unfold upward so as to move the container upward and downward; and an anti-loosening device provided at a side of the lift and allowing the lift to rotate relative to a front end thereof when the lift is removed upward so as to maintain a folded state of the lift.

A device for receiving signals via an electrically driveable or adjustable furniture element includes a receiving device for receiving at least one wirelessly transmitted signal, and the at least one wirelessly transmitted signal that has been received by the receiving device can be transmitted on to a furniture element. The receiving device is designed such that the at least one wirelessly transmitted signal can be received and processed via a first transmission protocol and a second transmission protocol, wherein the first transmission protocol is different from the second transmission protocol.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator. Specifically, a refrigerator that is capable of enabling a user to easily introduce or remove goods into or from the refrigerator is disclosed. More specifically, a refrigerator that is capable of enabling a drawer for receiving goods to be more conveniently used is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment with a food introduction port formed in the front thereof, a door hingedly connected to the cabinet for opening and closing the storage compartment, a plurality of drawers disposed in the storage compartment, the drawers being arranged vertically, a moving frame extending vertically so as to correspond to the height at which the drawers are disposed, the moving frame being configured to selectively push the drawers such that the drawers are moved toward the food introduction port, an electric driving unit coupled to the moving frame for moving the moving frame toward the food introduction port, and a controller for controlling the electric driving unit to move the moving frame when it is sensed that the door is open.

A linear motion mechanism, a drawer assembly, and a storage cabinet, relating to the technical field of linear motion. The linear motion mechanism comprises a rotating wheel around which a flexible cable is wound, the flexible cable being suitable for moving along with rotation of the rotating wheel, and the flexible cable comprising flexible cable sections located on the two sides of the rotating wheel; a rotation driving member which is connected to the rotating wheel and suitable for driving the rotating wheel to rotate; a mounting member, the mounting member being provided with a guide rail, a first fixed pulley being mounted on the mounting member; and a first-stage sliding rail which is suitable for sliding relative to the guide rail.

A device for controlling an electrically drivable or movable furniture element includes a main transmitter for emitting a wirelessly transmitted signal, and a receiver for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal. The furniture element can be controlled by a first wirelessly transmitted signal, and the first wirelessly transmitted signal can be transmitted from the main transmitter to the receiver. An auxiliary transmitter separate from the main transmitter is provided, from which a second wirelessly transmitted signal can be sent to the receiver. The furniture element can be controlled by a second signal transmitted from the auxiliary transmitter to the receiver.

A drawer slide with lock mechanism has an elongated outer slide member extendably coupled to an inner slide member. A latch arm or pin is fixed to the inner slide member for latching by a lock mechanism fixed to the outer slide member. The lock mechanism uses a latch receiver that rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is in a travel path of the latch arm. A lever arm rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is positionable to block rotation of the latch receiver in a locked position to retain the latch arm. A motor drives a cam to position the lever arm to free the latch receiver from the locked position.
