A telescoping ceiling mounted storage rack include a ceiling mount, a first down-post section, a second down-post section, raising and lowering mechanism, and at least one mounting bracket. The ceiling mount is configured to attach to a ceiling and support a payload from the ceiling. The first down-post section attached to the ceiling mount. The second down-post section telescopically configured with the first down-post section, where the second down-post section is configured to slide up and down about the first down-post section attached to the ceiling mount. The raising and lowering mechanism is configured to move the second down-post section between a lowered position telescopically extended from the first down-post section and a raised position telescopically recessed on or in the first down-post section. The at least one mounting bracket is attached to the second down-post section and is configured to hold the payload.

An overhead storage unit is disclosed. The storage unit has an elongated guide member with a first horizontal segment mountable within an overhead storage area, a second vertical segment mountable below the overhead storage area, and a curved segment extending between the first and second segments. The storage unit also has a storage container with at least a first wall mounted to the guide member and displaceable therealong to be raised and lowered between a stored position and an accessible position. The first wall is disposed within the storage area and has a first orientation to define a bottom surface of the storage container in the stored position. The first wall is disposed below the storage area and has a second orientation different from the first orientation in the accessible position. A residential living unit and method are also disclosed.

A high-density bike rack system includes a rack structure including: a first side configured to releasably engage a first bicycle, a second side configured to releasably engage a second bicycle, a forward portion, and a rearward portion including one or more tube assemblies. The one or more tube assemblies include at least one partially diagonal tube assembly.

A bicycle rack is described with a retention arm for securing a wheel of the bicycle to the bicycle rack. The retention arm is provided with a tire chock for contacting the tire of the bicycle. An adjustable tire chock may be positioned on the retention arm to secure different sizes of bicycles with different sizes of wheels on the bicycle rack. The adjustable tire chock may have latching components that can be released by a user with a single hand by applying opposing or rotational forces to the latch components or the tire chock. The latch components may be provided with a biasing mechanism to urge them into a latch or engaged position when aligned with latching features on the retention arm.

A bicycle parking rack includes a base to which a first portion is connected. Two first parts are adjustably connected to the first portion. A second portion connected to the base at an angle. The second portion includes a first tube, a second tube and a third tube. A second part is adjustably connected between the first tube and the third tube. A bicycle wheel contacts the two first parts and the second part to form three contact points. The second tube is inserted into the upper end of the first tube and includes a hook end which may hook to an inner periphery of a bicycle wheel. A connection unit is removably connected between two respective bases of two parking racks.

There is proposed vehicle storage apparatus, including a lifting jack having spaced apart lifting tines, a dolly being reversibly couplable to the lifting jack in a number of alternate positions, and a centre point device. The centre point device is used for determining the weight distribution along a longitudinal axis of the dolly when a vehicle is located thereon to assist in the suitable attachment of the dolly to lifting tines, to thereby inhibit tipping of the lifting jack when in the raised position or otherwise dislodgement of the vehicle stored thereon
