A storage apparatus includes a pully system, a moveable platform, X-bars, a lowering and lifting means and attachment elements. The platform includes at least one support tray and side and end platform supports. The pully system includes at least one pully, a lowering and raising mechanism and at least one rope or cable, where the rope or cable is attached to at least one pully support. The lowering and lifting means turns the lowering and raising mechanism such that the rope or cable moves over pullies in the pully system to raise and lower the platform of the storage apparatus.

An appliance includes a cabinet and a shelf assembly. The shelf assembly includes a lead screw mounted to the cabinet such that the lead screw is rotatable. A shelf support is mounted to the cabinet such the shelf support is translatable relative to the lead screw. The shelf support has a housing. A nut is disposed within the housing of the shelf support and is threaded on the lead screw. The nut has a plurality of teeth at an outer surface of the nut. A locking plunger has at least one tooth. An actuator is coupled to the locking plunger. The actuator is operable to selectively mesh the at least one tooth of the locking plunger with the plurality of teeth of the nut.

A utility storage system is provided, the system comprising a plurality of flat panels, the panels disposed atop one another. The system also comprises a plurality of vertically disposed support devices to provide support for panels disposed above. The system also comprises connectors disposed at corners of upward facing surfaces of the panels, the connectors providing seating for bases of the support devices. The supports are extensible and retractable. The panels comprise shelves that are positioned in one of a level manner and an angled manner. The shelves are disposed at one of uniform and non-uniform vertical distances from one another. The vertical distances are adjustable via one of extension and retraction of the support devices. Extension and retraction are effected via use of a telescoping feature of the support devices. Each support device contains a locking mechanism for securing height of associated support device.

A cantilever shelving system is disclosed and can include a frame structure, a cantilever shelf support structure, and a plurality of load-bearing shelves that can be supported by the cantilever shelf support structure and the frame structure. The shelves can be positioned laterally adjacent to cantilever support arms of the cantilever shelf support structure, and the shelf support surfaces can be coplanar with upper walls of the cantilever support arms. Ends of laterally adjacent shelves do not overlap with a front side of a vertical support member to which the cantilever support arm is mounted. The cantilever shelving system can accommodate various user requirements and can be operably integrated with standard commercial and/or industrial equipment or machinery.
