Device for opening the cabinet door of a cabinet body
Device for opening cabinet door of cabinet body. Cabinet door is attached to cabinet body by self-closing hinges. Cabinet door is held in closed position at a small distance from the front of cabinet body. In order to allow cabinet door to be opened without gripping elements, without hindering the self-closing of the hinges, there is a unit having ejection piston with a locking apparatus and tension rod in cabinet body. Ejection piston is supported in the unit by compression spring, and tension rod is supported in the unit by tension spring. Ejection piston and tension rod are coupled to each other by a control apparatus having a freewheel, and thus by tapping on cabinet door the opening of cabinet door can be initiated and cabinet door can be brought into an intermediate position. In the intermediate position, cabinet door can be grasped by a hand and opened further.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING SANITIZER FLUID, OPENING DOORS, AND RECORDING DATA PERTAINING TO HAND SANITIZATION
Devices, systems, and methods for promoting hand sanitization which may be mounted above or near a door handle. Hand sanitization devices include a sanitizer agent cartridge disposed inside a housing body and fluidically coupled to an actuating pump. The pump is configured to dispense the sanitizer when an actuation mechanism is pushed or pulled. The cartridge is also coupled to a pump sheath disposed below the pump so as to protect the internal components of the devices from unintentional splashing by the sanitizer agent. The hand sanitization devices may also record when the door is opened, when the sanitizer is dispensed, if the cartridge is empty, and when a user is approaching the door. The hand sanitization devices also have a user interface system configured to encourage the approaching user to sanitize their hands.

DRAWER ASSEMBLY
A drawer assembly includes a member having a first locking element. A drawer includes a frame and a handle. The handle includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is coupled to the frame. The second portion is coupled to the first portion. A drawer release includes a first end and a second end. The drawer release is rotatably coupled to the drawer. The first end includes a second locking element. The second portion is rotatable relative to the first portion to move the drawer release from a first orientation in which the second locking element directly engages the first locking element to prevent the drawer from sliding relative to the member to a second orientation in which the second locking element is spaced apart from the first locking element to allow the drawer to slide relative to the member. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.
Cabinet
A cabinet having a front part, which closes access to the inner region of the cabinet and is mounted movably relative to the cabinet carcass, and supporting inner or side walls or a side cheek arranged vertically in relation to the floor on which the item of furniture is standing. An access opening is formed between the front part and the side cheek, between the front part and at least one further front part, or between the front part and an upper side, which is formed as a table top. A profile is arranged to the rear of the access opening such that it is impossible to see into the inner region of the cabinet through the access opening, the profile having a first part and a second part, each having a face visible through the access opening, the visible faces arranged such that a shadow gap is formed therebetween.
Hybrid drawer handle and release mechanism
A drawer release mechanism has a handle having ends, a cylindrical portion and a flange. A pair of end cap interfaces are engaged to the ends of the handle. The end cap interfaces have rotational shafts, cylindrical receiving portions, receiving slots, and flange slots. A pair of end caps are exterior to the end cap interfaces, the end caps have flange recesses, rotation surfaces, shaft openings, and cam receiving areas, where the rotational shafts are disposed through the shaft openings, the receiving portions are adjacent to the rotation surfaces, and the flange slots are disposed in the flange recesses. The end caps are attached to a drawer. A cam is engaged to each of the rotational shafts. Each cam includes a shaft receiver, an actuator support and a cam actuator. The cams engage levers to release a drawer from a cabinet upon actuation of the handle.
Cantilevered and extendable support systems for supporting storage compartments
A support system for a storage container includes an extendable slide assembly having a first end and a second end, and a support bracket removably receiving the first end of the extendable slide assembly to support the extendable slide assembly in a cantilevered manner. The second end of the extendable slide assembly is configured to support the storage container.
