The invention relates to a drawer device comprising a drawer body, a drawer which can be moved linearly therein, and a cover which can be moved relative to the drawer and relative to the drawer body in a lifting direction by means of lifting means such that a controlled relative movement of the cover can be carried out in the lifting direction by means of the lifting means and a controller and such that the drawer interior can be evacuated and/or dehumidified after the cover is brought into the closed position, said drawer device allowing a reliable and reproducible movement of the cover in the lifting direction. This is achieved in that the lifting means are arranged so as to run along two lateral edges of the cover, each lifting means having a motor, a spindle, and at least one linear carriage, which is connected to the spindle and can thereby be moved linearly, in a fixed manner to the cover, wherein a profiled lifting section which is operatively connected to securing means on the drawer body can be moved by the lifting means in the lifting direction relative to the cover in a controlled manner by means of a controller relative to the rest of the lifting means and the cover.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a storage system having a drawer supported, when extended from a housing, by a lid. In an illustrative example, the drawer may have a first engagement feature. The lid may, for example, have a second engagement feature. The housing may, for example, have a first slide configured to slidingly receive the drawer. The housing may, for example, have a second slide configured to slidingly receive the lid. In a support mode, for example, the lid may be disposed in the second slide beneath the drawer such that, when the drawer is slid out of the housing beyond a first distance, then the engagement features interact to extend the lid from the housing such that the lid supports at least a portion of a weight of the drawer. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a cost-effective, transportable, and/or modular storage system.

A household appliance has a storage compartment, a container, and a pair of guide rail assemblies. The storage compartment has a front opening and a pair of side walls; the container includes an accommodating cavity and a cover used for closing an upwardly open access opening of the accommodating cavity. The cover may slide from front to back to expose the access opening; the pair of guide rail assemblies respectively include a first rail and a second rail, where the second rail is adapted to slide relative to the first rail; and the guide rail assembly includes a locking mechanism. When the container is pulled out and reaches a predetermined position, the locking mechanism locks the first rail and the second rail to prevent the container from moving backward driven by the cover pushed backward.

A furniture apparatus including a frame, a movable facade configured to transition between an open state and a closed state; and a hidden container configured to rest on a set of support ledges attached to one or more of the frame and an unhidden container optionally associated with the furniture apparatus such that the hidden container is configured to be visible when the movable facade is in the open state, and the hidden container is configured to be hidden from view when the hidden container is installed in the furniture apparatus and the movable facade is in the closed state.

A refrigerator having an improved structure to maintain the humidity in a drawer. The refrigerator includes a storage chamber, a drawer configured to be inserted to or withdrawn from the storage chamber, a cover configured to cover an upper part of the drawer, and a rail device configured to guide the drawer to slide in a front-rear direction with respect to the cover and to allow the cover to be located in the storage chamber and to be moved upward with respect to the drawer when the drawer is withdrawn.

To configure existing drawers as evacuable drawers of a vacuum drawer device, a cover for installation in the drawer body can be used. The cover evacuates at the drawer interior with an evacuation system, so that the interior is evacuated when the drawer is closed and ventilated before the drawer is opened. The cover is airtight, is profiled in such that evacuation with a controller, a pump and a valve are fixedly integrated in at least one recess in the cover and the cover has at least one air channel leading into the inside of the cover or, respectively, into the at least one recess, with the air channel operatively connected to the evacuation system such that when the cover is placed onto the drawer, air from the interior can be pumped out of the interior, the inside of the cover interior or, respectively, the at least one recess through the air duct.

The refrigerator comprises: a cabinet having a storage space; a door over the storage space; support members; a storage member pushed in or drawn out along the support member, and having an opening in the top surface so that food maybe inserted therethrough; a shielding member, provided above the storage member and a rear portion of the opening; a cover member over a front portion of the opening, and is moved, when the storage member being pushed in or drawn out, in the opposite direction to the storage member, and is moved rearward between the shielding member and the storage member when the storage member is drawn out; and a driving unit connecting the storage member and the cover member so as to move together.

A plastic container comprising a box and a lid. The box has a bottom portion and first and second pairs of opposing walls rising from the bottom portion to define an internal space of the container, and the upper edges of the walls are adapted to support the lid and comprise a flanges that extend outwards from the inner space. The lid is adapted to leave an outer portion of said flanges free along the entire length of the walls of the first pair when the lid is applied to the box. The lid can optionally be removed, even if the box is inserted in a rack where the flanges are supported by a guide.

A refrigerator includes a lid section inside the refrigerator, the lid section being configured to: cover an opening of a container slidable into the refrigerator; decrease distance between the lid section and the container in conjunction with the container being slid in; and when the container is housed inside the refrigerator, be in contact with the container.

A vacuum drawer for vacuuming food comprises a vacuum chamber (20) which can be closed in an airtight manner by a cover (21) which can be actuated and an installation unit (40) to which a vacuum pump can be connected. To be able to generate an external vacuum, the vacuum drawer comprises a connector part (41) which is releasably connectable to the installation unit (40) (FIG. 2).
