The present disclosure is directed to systems for the storage of group exercise equipment. Embodiments of the system provide for the organized storage of one or more types of fitness equipment in a manner that provides easy access to the equipment while being configurable in a plurality of orientations so as to have a desired footprint for a small space, such as a fitness studio or gym. In some orientations the system may provide access to the stored fitness equipment while in other orientations the system may restrict access to the stored equipment.

Maneuver element of the type composed by an element provided, on each end, with a protruding grip and centrally with safety means which can be activated under pressure and controlled from outside, apt to engage the structure on which it is mounted and to prevent the rotation, said pressure activated means, being composed of a button system having a central hole, housed within a depression of said maneuver element, and partially protruding from it, from the base of said button system abutting engaging and retaining plugs, housed free to move longitudinally within the holes obtained in said maneuver element, characterized in that fast remote identification means of the functionality of said maneuver and pressure fast activation means of said engaging and retaining plugs are associated with said button system, said pressure fast activation means of said plugs being composed by the association of engaging elements mounted on a rotor with driving and retaining elements provided on a stator complementary to said rotor.

A mobile storage system including a plurality of movable storage units that can be positioned to selectively form an aisle between adjacent storage units. The mobile storage system includes a master controller in communication with a local control unit and a local control panel on each storage unit. The master controller communicates through a wireless communication path with a user device having a visual display. The visual display presents a current image of the mobile storage system and allows a user to enter commands to create aisles between adjacent storage units. When the user device is in wireless communication with the master controller, the master controller prevents operation of the storage units from the local control panels. The master controller allows a wireless communication path to be created with only a single user device at any time such that only one user device is able to operate the mobile storage system.

The mobile storage rack includes a storage rack frame for moving on ground rails, wheels carried by the bottom frame for engaging the ground rails and allowing displacement of the storage rack along the rails, and shelves carried by the frame for supporting articles. The storage rack has a braking apparatus including a unitary braking shaft made of a single shaft segment, a support structure rotatably carrying the braking shaft in cantilevered fashion, the support structure being attached to the storage rack frame, a braking shaft link carried by the braking shaft away from the support structure along the braking shaft, the braking shaft link linking the braking shaft to the storage rack wheels, a triggerable brake actuator that acts on the unitary braking shaft to stop the rotation of the braking shaft when triggered, and a dampener located between the braking actuator and the unitary braking shaft.

Improved methods and systems for operating moveable architectural elements (e.g., furniture) are described. The method includes receiving an indicator of a detection event. The method includes performing a movement of the moveable architectural element from a first position to a second position in response thereto, wherein the second position is selected to reduce an interference of the moveable architectural element with an alleviation system configured to alleviate the detection event. The detection event includes at least one of: fire, carbon monoxide, and smoke. The second position is selected based on a distance of the moveable architectural element from the alleviation system. The second position is selected based on an orientation of the moveable architectural element with respect to the alleviation system. Many other improvements and features are contemplated and described.

A pallet racking system includes a plurality of pallet shelves connected to a plurality of columns and a plurality of suspension hanging systems coupled to the plurality of columns. Each suspension hanging system is coupled to and configured for supporting a storage unit therebelow. The suspension hanging systems are slidable relative to the plurality of pallet shelves such that the sliding movement of a suspension hanging system relative to an adjacent suspension hanging system defines an aisle space therebetween.

A cabinet with a snap-in frame is described. The cabinet uses spring clips that engage the frame to an opening of the cabinet. The spring clips are fastened to outer edges around the opening of the cabinet. The frame is urged into the opening of the cabinet. The frame compresses the spring clips as the frame is pushed into the opening of the cabinet. End portions of the spring clips snap into recesses of an outer surface of the frame. The spring clips are easily aligned along the opening of the cabinet to ensure proper placement of the frame with respect to cabinet.
