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 shipping container includes a body defining an interior. The shipping container further includes a dunnage assembly, the dunnage assembly including a tray and a hinge, the hinge subdividing the tray into a first tray portion and a second tray portion. The dunnage assembly is movable along a transverse axis between a first position wherein the second tray portion is at least partially disposed within the interior and a second position wherein the second tray portion is entirely exterior to the body. The second tray portion is rotatable relative to the first tray portion about the hinge when the dunnage assembly is moved between the first position and the second position.

A work station including a base includes a work surface pivotally mounted to the base so as to be configured to pivot between a first position and a second position. The work surface is configured to cover a protected member when in a first position and the work surface is configured to uncover the protected member when moved into a second position. The base is configured to support the work surface on a floor surface. A height of the work surface can be adjusted to accommodate the ergonomic needs of different users.

A refrigerator appliance includes a refrigerator compartment with a bottom-hinged door that is operable to open and close the refrigerator compartment. In one example, the door is hingedly coupled to a bottom of the cabinet and configured to pivot between a closed state to restrict access, or an open state to permit access, to the freezer compartment. The refrigerator compartment includes a liner comprising opposing side walls. A swing-up storage assembly is pivotally and telescopically connected to the side walls and is configured to move between a lower retracted position and an upper extended position. The swing-up storage assembly includes a receptacle support body and a storage receptacle that is removably mounted to the receptacle support body.

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.

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.

An under cabinet shelf assembly for includes a panel that is mountable on an underside of a wall mounted cabinet. A shelf is provided and the shelf is hingedly disposed on the panel. The shelf is positionable in a deployed position having the shelf extending downwardly from the panel. In this way a recipe book can be positioned on the shelf such that the recipe book is visible to a user. The shelf is positionable in a stored position having the shelf lying against the panel. A first magnet is coupled the panel and a second magnet is coupled to the shelf. The second magnet magnetically engages the first magnet when the shelf is in the stored position for retaining the shelf in the stored position.

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.

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.

A tool cabinet includes a cabinet body, a hanging board having a plurality of hanging portions, two slide rail units, and at least one counterweight device. Each of the slide rail units is connected between the cabinet body and the hanging board and extends in an up-down direction, such that the hanging board is movable in the up-down direction relative to the cabinet body between a lifted position and a lowered position. The counterweight device includes a constant force spring having free and fixed ends that are respectively connected to the hanging board and the cabinet body, and providing a resilient force against the weight of the hanging board during movement between the lifted and lowered positions.
