Workbench with collapsible pegboard
A workbench has a frame disposed on a set of wheels with a plurality of storage solutions, such as drawers, disposed within the frame. The workbench can include a work surface on a top surface of the frame and one or more handles permitting movement of the workbench as desired. The workbench can include a pegboard surface that is pivotable between a deployed configuration, where the pegboard extends upward from a back surface of the workbench, and a stowed configuration, where the pegboard is stored adjacent the back surface of the workbench. Typically, in the stowed configuration, the pegboard surface does not extend beyond either a plane defined by the work surface or a plane defined by a bottom surface, opposite the work surface, of the workbench frame. The workbench may be packaged and shipped in the stowed configuration, allowing the user to easily fully assembly the workbench assembly.
MOTOR CONTROL CENTER (MCC) UNITS WITH RETRACTABLE POWER CONNECTOR AND INTERLOCKS INCLUDING A POWER CONNECTOR POSITION INTERLOCK
Motor control centers have units or buckets with an extendable/retractable power connection (stab) assembly and one or more operating lever interlocks that include a unit latch to latch to a cabinet and a power connection position interlock that blocks the handle of the units or buckets based on position of the power connection assembly, optionally also including a shutter cam that slides a shutter right and left.
LATERAL FOLDING STEP UNIT
A step unit including a vertical frame and a plurality of linkages pivotally attached at different heights to the vertical frame by one end of each of the linkages, to provide lateral rotation to the linkages. A leg frame, with at least one leg, is pivotally attached to the opposite end of each linkage whereby laterally translating the leg frame simultaneously pivots the linkages from a first, vertical position to at least one second, horizontal position.
Container Organizer
Container organizers, kits, and methods for organizing a plurality of storage containers including dishes and lids. A rack includes a base defining a cavity for storing container lids and defining first and second openings providing access to the cavity. The first and second openings are noncoplanar, and the container lids are received by and removed from the cavity through the first and second openings. The rack also includes a cap moveably coupled to the base between a first position in which the cap covers the second opening and a second position in which the cap is separated from the second opening.
Apparatus for fitting a carrier element for articles in a body
An apparatus for fitting a carrier element in a body, including a pivoting member for arranging the carrier element, and fitting means for fitting the pivoting member on a wall of the body. The pivoting member includes two rotatable pivot arms and has three pivot axles. When mounted on the body, a first pivot arm is arranged on the body in a rotatable manner by way of a first pivot axle, the two pivot arms are arranged in a rotatable manner on one another via a second pivot axle, and a third pivot axle is provided on a second pivot arm. Near one end of the second pivot arm, the carrier element is rotatably arranged with respect to the second pivot arm by the third pivot axle, and, during a pivoting and/or displacement movement of the pivoting, a carrier element arranged thereon is movable in a single, exclusively horizontal plane.
Motor control center (MCC) units with retractable power connector and interlocks including a power connector position interlock
Motor control centers have units or buckets with an extendable/retractable power connection (stab) assembly and one or more operating lever interlocks that include a unit latch to latch to a cabinet and a power connection position interlock that blocks the handle of the units or buckets based on position of the power connection assembly, optionally also including a shutter cam that slides a shutter right and left.
Reconfigurable carrying devices for material handling
A reconfigurable carrying device, such as a cart, is provided for storing and/or transporting objects. The cart may include a first storage section for receiving the objects, and a second storage section pivotally attached to the first storage section. The second storage section may be movable upwards relative to the first storage section to be positioned on top of the first storage section in a first mode of operation of the cart and may be movable downwards relative to the position in the first mode of operation to be positioned adjacent to the first storage section in a second mode of operation of the cart.
MODULAR LAUNDRY SYSTEM
A modular laundry system includes a laundry appliance defining a width and a height. A module is below the laundry appliance. The module has a cabinet with an open face. A tub is provided within the cabinet. A washing or drying chamber is provided within the tub for receiving fabric items to be washed or dried.
SHELVING SYSTEMS
A shelving system includes first and second side members. A cross member is coupled to the side members. A guide member is coupled to the cross member such that the guide member is movable relative to the cross member. A container including a rail is coupled to the guide member. The rail includes a first locking element and a second locking element that is connected to the first locking element. The container includes a handle having a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The locking elements are configured to move the container between a first orientation in which the container is provisionally fixed to the guide member and a second orientation in which the container can translate relative to the guide member.
UNDER CABINET MOUNTED SHELVING SYSTEM
The present invention provides an improved under cabinet mounted storage system with a one rotateable arm extending between a mounting anchor and a vertical support structure with an angled channel adapted for slidable receipt of at least one common kitchen, cooking or staging items.
