Refrigerator
A refrigerator of the present invention comprises: a cabinet that includes a storage compartment having an opening formed on the front side thereof; a door rotatably connected to the cabinet to open and close the opening; a drawer disposed within the storage compartment to accommodate stored goods therein; a drawer guide that supports the drawer and guides the drawer in order to enable the drawer to move forward and rearward; an extraction mechanism that includes a base part that is disposed below the drawer and moves forward while the door is opened and rearward while the door is closed, a rear frame that extends from the base part toward the rear side of the drawer and pushes the drawer forward when the base part moves forward, and an arm that extends forward from the rear frame and is disposed between the drawer and a side of the storage compartment; and an arm guide disposed between the side of the storage compartment and the drawer to guide the arm in order to enable the arm to move forward and rearward.
Hanging Bottle Drying Rack
The Hanging Bottle Drying Rack, tailored for baby and toddler bottles and cups, is a unique drying rack because it hangs on hooks, handles, over the door and such locations instead of sitting on the counter. It can hang in many convenient locations, (in any sink area: kitchen, rest room, or nursing room), look neat and uncluttered, and allow bottles, cups, and accessories to air dry without sitting in puddles of water. It can be assembled and disassembled per the user's desire of use and maintenance.
Link assembly for synchronizing a cabinet toe kick plate with a door of the cabinet
The link assembly constitutes a mechanical connection between a cabinet door (108) and a toe kick plate (112) of the cabinet with both panels being hingedly attached to the same cabinet sidewall (114). The link assembly causes the toe kick plate (112) to move in synchronization with the movement of the door (108) and, when the cabinet door (108) is opened, the link causes the toe kick plate (112) to move into a position underneath the door (108). The link assembly pivots and self-adjusts dimensionally as required throughout the range of movement of the two hinged panels. The link assembly incorporates a resiliently biased over-center mechanism which urges the door (108) to remain in the open position until closed intentionally. The link assembly provides dual-axes adjustability for, and also supports the weight of, the toe kick plate free-swinging edge (112a).
Refrigerator
A refrigerator comprises: a cabinet including a storage chamber which has an opening formed on the front side thereof; a door pivotally connected to the cabinet so as to open and close the opening; a drawer disposed inside the storage chamber so as to receive stored goods; a drawer guide for supporting the drawer, and guiding the drawer such that the drawer can be moved forward and backward; a base part disposed below the drawer; a withdrawal mechanism including a rear frame which extends rearward of the drawer from the base part so as to push the drawer forward when the base part is moved forward; a link having a front end connected to the door at a point, which is positioned at a predetermined distance from the axis of rotation of the door with respect to the cabinet, so as to form a first rotary joint, and having a rear end connected to the base part so as to form a second rotary joint; and a pair of withdrawal mechanism guides disposed.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment, a door hingedly connected to the cabinet for opening and closing the storage compartment, a drawer provided in the storage compartment, a sensor for sensing whether the door is open, an electric driving unit including a moving frame, the electric driving unit being configured to move the drawer to a manipulating position spaced apart forward from an initial position by a predetermined distance through forward movement of the moving frame when it is sensed that the door is open, and a rail configured to allow the drawer to move forward and rearward relative to the storage compartment, wherein the electric driving unit is driven to return the moving frame to the initial position after the moving frame is moved to the manipulating position.
FURNITURE WITH PIVOTABLE ELECTRONICS RACK
A pedestal for a conference table or other furniture has a shell having an opening, and a rack for electronic equipment mounted within the opening. The rack is pivotable about a vertical axis between a stowed position in which the rack is entirely within the pedestal and an access position in which the rack is largely outside the pedestal.
Piece Goods Box and Method for Transferring and Storing Piece Goods in a Piece Goods Box
Disclosed is a piece goods box having at least one piece goods chamber for receiving at least one piece goods item. The at least one piece goods chamber is assigned at least one holder that is adjustable from a storage position to a transfer position in which the holder is disposed at least partially outside the piece goods chamber, for transferring the piece goods item to/from the piece goods box. The holder, in the transfer position, has two holding regions for holding the at least one piece goods item in the transfer position. In the transfer position, at least one free space is provided between the holding regions of the at least one holder that is accessible in the horizontal direction from outside the at least one piece goods chamber.
Refrigerator
A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment, a door, a drawer, a roller at a side of the drawer, a support rail at a side of the storage compartment for guiding movement of the roller in a forward-rearward direction, and a support surface in the support rail for supporting the roller, the support surface including a downhill guide section that slopes downward from a rear of the refrigerator to a front of the refrigerator and a slide guide section that extends from the downhill guide section.
REFRIGERATOR AND DRAWER-TYPE DOOR FOR REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a drawer-type door with a vertical adjustment unit. The drawer-type door includes a front cover for a storage compartment, a support frame coupled to the back side of the cover and operable to slide along a rail, a storage container coupled to the support frame and a vertical adjustment unit configured to adjust a vertical position of the cover. The vertical adjustment unit includes a knob rotatably coupled to the support frame via a rotary screw and comprising a plurality of cam surfaces with different distances from the rotary screw. The cover's vertical position varies with the knob's rotational position. As a user rotates the knob to a predetermined rotational position, a stopper disposed on the cover can retain the knob's position through contact with one of the cam surfaces. Thereby the cover is adjusted to a new height.
