SINK CABINET DRAIN SYSTEM
In one example, a sink cabinet drain system may include a sink cabinet, a faucet, a supply line, a custom-fit drain pan, and a gravity-drained cabinet waste line. The sink cabinet may support a sink basin. The faucet may be configured to direct water into the sink basin. The supply line may be configured to supply pressurized water to the faucet, the supply line being routed through the cabinet. The custom-fit drain pan may be disposed within the cabinet, beneath both the supply line and the sink basin. The upper surface of the drain pan may be sloped to drain to a collection orifice. A gravity-drained cabinet waste line may be configured to collect liquid from the collection orifice and deliver the liquid, via gravity, to a sewer system.
Bathroom vanity with retractable step
A bathroom vanity with a retractable step is disclosed herein. The bathroom vanity includes a cabinet body portion including a top wall and a plurality of sidewalls, and defining a bottom recess with an open bottom; and a retractable step slidingly coupled to the cabinet body portion and being displaceable between a stowed position where the retractable step is disposed within the bottom recess of the cabinet body portion and an extended position where the retractable step extends outwardly from a front of the cabinet body portion so as to provide a step for a user of the bathroom vanity, the retractable step being configured to slide along a floor on which the bathroom vanity is disposed when the retractable step is displaced, and at least a portion of the retractable step being configured to contact the floor when the retractable step is displaced.
METHOD FOR CONVERTING CABINETS INTO WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE SPACES WITH RETRACTABLE SHELVING SYSTEM
The invention involves a method for converting a cabinet into a wheelchair accessible space, involving a retractable shelf with anterior, intermediate, and posterior panels. The method includes detaching the anterior panel from the cabinet's support component by removing a screw, folding the anterior panel towards the cabinet's posterior, and laying it parallel on the intermediate panel. Subsequently, the intermediate panel is folded onto the posterior panel, with the anterior panel stacked on top, revealing a wheelchair accessible area. The retractable shelf, initially in an expanded position, features hinged connections allowing parallel folding of the panels. The method is designed for universal installation within the cabinet, obviating the need for complete de-installation or re-installation.
Cabinets, cabinet assembly systems and methods of cabinet construction
A cabinets is provided. The cabinet includes a main panel defining a longitudinal axis and having a top edge. The cabinet also includes a plurality of vertical panels positioned in a laterally spaced relationship along the longitudinal axis of the main panel and in parallel planes each of the vertical panels being orthogonal to the main panel. The main panel and the vertical panels are coupled by hangers. The hangers each include an elongated body and a first end bracket at a first end of the elongated body. The first end bracket has a first hook that receives the top edge of the main panel. The vertical panels are also secured to either one of a top panel or a bottom panel so that either the top panel or the bottom panel holds the vertical panels against lateral movement relative to the main panel.
WHEELED KITCHEN APPARATUS WITH COLLAPSIBLE WORK SURFACE
A wheeled kitchen apparatus with a collapsible work surface includes a wheeled cabinet with a cabinet top and four cabinet sides. The cabinet top has a surface with an opening accommodating a basin, and also has a heating unit. The cabinet has four extensions located at the four cabinet sides. The four extensions are configurable between at least two positions including a first position that laterally extends the surface of the top of the cabinet and a second position in which the extensions fold down along the sides of the cabinet. The unit can include running water, including hot and cold water, and can also include an oven. The collapsible work surface permits the apparatus to fit through classroom doors and therefore usable in every school environment. The shape of the extensions, when configured in the upward position, safely moves school-age children away from the potentially dangerous heating unit and other equipment that may pose harm if within reach of the children.
WASHSTAND FURNITURE
A washstand may include a wash device including a wash bowl, a water supply assembly that supplies water to the wash bowl, and a drainage assembly that drains the water supplied to the wash bowl. The washstand may also include a cabinet provided under the wash bowl, the cabinet having a space, a dryer that discharges air through a discharge port from an interior of the cabinet, and a utensil-drying module provided in the space of the cabinet and coupled to the dryer to receive air discharged from the dryer to dry utensils placed in the utensil-drying module. The cabinet may include a drainage hole arranged to drain residual water from the utensil-drying module out of the cabinet.
Reconfigurable Workspace
The invention is a reconfigurable workspace. The workspace is compact in order to keep components of the workspace within an arm's reach while standing in a fixed location. The workspace is made up of two rectangular housings, preferably of the same compact size and shape. The first housing has at least a sink and a counter space, though it could have other appliances. The second housing has a circulating storage system, preferably an automated storage and retrieval system that delivers items to a convenient access point. The two housings are repositionable in relation to each other along a fixed path. An apparatus such as a hinge or a set of tracks repositions the housings in relation to each other along the fixed path.
BATHROOM BASE CABINET UNIT HAVING DRYING FUNCTION AND FOOT HOLDING FUNCTION
A bathroom base cabinet may include a blower device and a footstool for a drying function and a foot holding function. The bathroom base cabinet may perform a function of drying a bathroom floor by blowing wind in a direction of a floor surface of the bathroom, and a function of drying the body of a user by blowing wind in a direction of an upper surface of the footstool.
