A document storage system for removably storing individual documents. A shelved cabinet has a track receptacle mounted to the lower shelf surface adjacent the cabinet front. The track receptacle has a plurality of tracks extending from the cabinet front to the cabinet rear. Each track has an open slot extending from the front to the rear of the cabinet. The track also has a rearwardly extending lip providing a rearwardly directed open notch. The cabinet further includes a back with an inner surface and a pair of ohmic conductors mounted on the inner surface and extending laterally thereof. An electronically searchable flexible file folder has a thin main body portion and a header secured to the top of the main body portion. The header is dimensioned to be removably received in any track of the track receptacle with the main body portion slidably received in the slot. The header portion has visible indicator mounted on a first end; and a latch pawl located on the first end engageable with the notch when the file folder is installed in the track. A pair of probe pins is mounted on the other end of the header and are engageable with the pair of ohmic conductors when the file folder is installed in a track.

A type of foldable shelving rack that includes a folding rack and shelf units. Each level of the folding rack is formed by the hinging together a pair of U-shaped bars. The end of the upper U-shaped bar is hinged to the lower U-shaped bar, thereby forming multiple shelves comprising the foldable shelving unit. A positioning mechanism is located on the opposing hinged ends of the quadrilateral structure; each shelf unit rests between the middle sections of the two U-shaped bars, thus forming a stable and integrated unit that can be folded up.

A system and method for video display aboard an aircraft, automobile, or other vehicle includes a housing and an assembly including a display screen partially or completely contained within the housing. When the display screen is impacted by an object or a passenger of the vehicle, brackets and support members absorb and dissipate impact energy such that the display screen is prevented from breakage or dislodgement due to absorbed energy. Instead, the display screen may absorb impact energy insufficient to break it but sufficient to direct or shift the display screen from its original position to a new position. The video display system may also include spring-loaded or actuated brackets to return the display screen to its original position after an impact, and sensors to alert a user to inspect, repair or replace the brackets, display screen, or other system components.

Multiple storage and organizer device is a mixed-use device for storing and organizing utilitarian objects of daily use, comprising substantially three classes of independent components and each one of them having a plurality of modes, models and embodiments: the essential components which are the main means of support; the variable or fastening components and also the optional components which are substantially the interchangeable accessories; wherein said main means of support comprises at least unitary polyhedral structures having a plurality of shapes, with predetermined sections, cross section, side, sides and surfaces having a plurality of slots, openings, holes and drilling holes, wherein a plurality of said slots, openings, holes and drilling holes are coincident and are aligned on at least two faces; wherein the structure provides adequate support, its voids communicating all its sides and enable the assembly of parts, and the edges of said voids provide support to the fastening components and accessories, thereby the device is usable on all sides simultaneously, wherein at least both, the fastening means fixing and attaching the structure providing support, stability and modes of the device as well as the accessories which are assembled and interchangeable; whereby said interrelation of the components generate this multiple storage and organizer device which is designed as a compact device to integrate a plurality of concepts of furniture and organizer devices in a small area, which has a plurality of combinations and functions, and the user is who selects the alternatives, the appearance, uses and functions of the device.

A storage rack system includes a horizontal support surface. A rack is hingedly coupled to the horizontal support surface. The rack is selectively positioned in a stored position having the rack being coextensive with the horizontal support surface. The rack is positioned in a deployed position having the rack extending downwardly from the horizontal support surface. Thus, the rack is accessible. Thee rack stores a plurality of fishing rods. A pulley unit is coupled between the horizontal support surface and the rack. Thus, the pulley unit may be manipulated. The pulley unit selectively urges the rack between the stored position and the deployed position.

A linear movement device comprising at least two linear movement units which are guided in a movable manner along a shared linear movement axis, wherein the linear movement device comprises a first linear drive and a second linear drive, in such a way that each linear movement unit can be driven in movement along the linear movement axis merely by the first linear drive, merely by the second linear drive, and also by both linear drives together. The first and the second linear drive are coupled to the linear movement units so as to transmit drive force, in such a way that when only one of the first linear drive and the second linear drive is activated, the linear movement units can be driven in movement in a shared direction along the linear movement axis at different speeds.

The invention is a method for repositioning objects in an automated storage and retrieval system. The method allows objects to move one at a time in an optimally efficient non-revolving sequence, so that often-used storage items can be retrieved more quickly. The method includes arranging positionable objects, such as storage bins or appliances, within a frame with one or more walls. The objects are attached removably to the walls by connectors, such as hooks. One or more planar motion mechanisms, such as H-bots, are mounted on the walls next to the objects. The planar motion mechanisms lift the objects from the connectors to reposition the objects. When a target object is designated, a microcontroller teaches the planar motion mechanisms a sequence for moving the objects into vacant spaces such that the target object can travel to a target access position by the most direct path.
