Undercounter refrigerator with access control

An apparatus and method for storing medical products such as pharmaceutical and medical products in climate controlled storage devices includes climate control systems in communication with inventory access and tracking systems.

SHELVING SYSTEMS

A shelving system includes first and second side members. A cross member is coupled to the side members. A guide member is coupled to the cross member such that the guide member is movable relative to the cross member. A container including a rail is coupled to the guide member. The rail includes a first locking element and a second locking element that is connected to the first locking element. The container includes a handle having a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The locking elements are configured to move the container between a first orientation in which the container is provisionally fixed to the guide member and a second orientation in which the container can translate relative to the guide member.

HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE
20220282908 · 2022-09-08 ·

A household appliance has a main body, a chamber with an opening, and a drawer door closing the chamber. A support mechanism is connected between the drawer door and the main body. A cable extends between the main body and the drawer door and a guidance mechanism guides the cable and moves with the drawer door. The guidance mechanism includes a bendable member that moves along a moving path including a bent portion. A limiting mechanism limits the bendable member to move within the moving path and a preset error range. A structure of a component surrounding the guidance mechanism in the household appliance is improved, so that a moving track of the guidance mechanism can be guided and limited when the guidance mechanism moves as the drawer door moves. This helps the guidance mechanism and the cable move through an expected track.
