Integrated inclinable goods shelf
An integrated inclinable goods shelf includes a housing having an opening on the front side, an inner frame assembly, and a tray assembly for bearing goods. The inner frame assembly is lapped on a bottom surface of the housing. The housing includes two outer side plates. The inner frame assembly includes two inner side plates respectively disposed between the corresponding outer side plates and the tray assembly. The front end of the outer side plate is hingedly connected to the front end of the corresponding inner side plate. The inner frame assembly is rotatable relative to the housing. The inner side plates are connected to the tray assembly via a slide assembly. The tray assembly is movable relative to the inner frame assembly.
MODULAR LAUNDRY SYSTEM
A laundry system having a first laundry appliance for washing fabric items, a second laundry appliance for drying fabric items horizontally arranged relative to the first laundry appliance, a washing module vertically arranged above one of the first laundry appliance or the second laundry appliance, and a non-tumble drying module vertically arranged above the other of the first laundry appliance or the second laundry appliance for drying fabric items.
Hanging apparatus
An apparatus for hanging clothing or sports equipment that is removably mountable in a locker cubby and may be reconfigured from a closed position in which the apparats lies generally flat for transport and an open in use position wherein multiple locations are provided to support clothing and sports equipment.
APPARATUS FOR MOVING AN ITEM
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for moving an item. The apparatus comprises a mounting portion for mounting the apparatus to a surface, a platform configured to receive the item thereon, extendable arms configured to extend away from the mounting portion, wherein the platform is moveable between a storage position above the surface and an accessible position away from the surface, lifting assemblies that join opposing sides of the platform to a respective extendable arm, the lifting assemblies being configured to raise and lower the platform relative to the extendable arms whilst in the accessible position, and a driver operable to raise and lower the platform. At least one of the lifting assemblies comprises three arms, at least one arm being a driven arm that is driven by the driver whereby the platform is raised or lowered, and another are being a stabilising arm that is configured to move synchronously with the driven arm whereby the platform is stabilised.

Multi-use desk-cabinet
A multi-use desk-cabinet is provided. The multi-use desk-cabinet comprises a rear cabinet wall having a left and a right side cabinet wall mounted thereto. A desk plate is slidably and pivotally movable mounted to each of the left and the right side cabinet wall such that the desk plate is movable from a substantially vertical position in proximity to a front end of the left and the right side cabinet wall to a substantially horizontal position such that a rear end of the desk plate is placed in close proximity to the rear cabinet wall.
SHELF HAVING A BI-DIRECTIONAL SLIDE AND TILT MECHANISM
A shelving system including a cabinet including a product receiving zone. The product receiving zone includes a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side. A shelf member is arranged between the first side and the second side. The shelf member includes a first side portion and a second side portion. One of the first side portion and the second side portion includes a first shelf support and a second shelf support. A bi-directional slide and tilt system is mounted to one of first side and the second side of the product receiving zone. The bi-directional slide and tilt system includes a first portion receptive of the first shelf support and a second portion receptive of the second shelf support. The first portion and the second portion facilitate sliding and tilting of the shelf relative to the product receiving zone.
Adjustable and stowable storage shelf for a storage enclosure
A storage enclosure includes a first support member spaced from a second support member. The first support member includes a first rotating shelf support and the second support member includes a second rotating shelf support. A third support member is spaced from a fourth support member. The third support member includes a first fixed shelf support and a second fixed shelf support and the fourth support member includes a third fixed shelf support and a fourth fixed shelf support. A shelf includes a first end connected to the first rotating shelf support and the second rotating shelf support and a second end. The shelf is positionable in a first configuration and a second configuration.
SHELVING UNIT
A shelving unit includes a shelf configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position. At least one arm extends from the shelf and is moveably coupled to a track or dual hinges and configured to move along the track to move the shelf between the retracted position and the extended position.
IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO ACCESSIBILITY OF STORAGE CABINETS
A drive apparatus fits into a storage cabinet with a storage unit with shelves and is suited for mounting on a wall above a worktop. A push/pull mechanism pushes the storage unit outwardly from the housing, and a separate vertical drive mechanism then lowers the storage unit to a level beneath the housing, where it is accessible. Because the storage unit is initially pushed outwardly to a to extended position, when it is lowered it does not impact on items directly underneath the cabinet. Hence the cabinet may be fitted in a conventional arrangement. A door drive mechanism allows automated opening and closing of the doors, but if they are opened manually the drive mechanism remains disengaged. Upon automated door closure the door mechanism disengages when nearly closed due to the mutual physical arrangement of the mechanism components, thereby allowing the door's own soft hinge to complete the door closure, thereby avoiding pinch points and allowing the next door opening to be either manual or automated.
