CORNER DRAWER FOR ACCESSORY CABINET
A corner support or drawer for a medical or dental cabinet includes a support panel that is configured to be generally horizontally arranged relative to the cabinet. A face panel of the corner drawer may be attached at the bottom panel to border at least two sides of the storage area. The face panel includes a front portion configured to generally align with a front face of the cabinet and a side portion configured to generally align with a side surface of the cabinet. The support or drawer is configured to travel, generally horizontally, along a linear path that is not parallel with the front face of the cabinet and is not parallel with the side surface of the cabinet.
Storage system and hardware
A storage system includes at least one upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof, the at least one upright rail arranged to be attached to an upright support surface. A bracket is arranged to be attached to the at least one upright rail, the bracket including a substrate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom which are arranged to be received in a corresponding plurality of the notches, the plurality of hooks disposed only along a first portion of the substrate and not along a second portion of the substrate to define an open region of the bracket. The open region allows for attachment of at least one additional hardware member in a shared section with the bracket along the length of the front side of the at least one upright rail.
Drawer arrangements
Drawer arrangements are provided which include a drawer connected to a support structure having three guides for the path of the drawer between open and closed positions, at least two of which are operational at any given position of the drawer, as it moves both horizontally and vertically between different locations. In a closed position, the drawer is supported near its horizontal extremities and rests in a position that resists horizontal motion. In fully extended open positions, the drawer is supported in a cantilevered manner from the support structure. Intermediate the fully closed and fully extended positions, the drawer is supported in inclined positions which provide access to contents therein. The present invention also includes mounting structure which facilitates connection at a variety of locations under the floor of a motor home, with exterior accessibility.
Apparatus, system, and method for storage in a refrigerated appliance
An apparatus, system, and method for storage in a refrigerated appliance. One aspect includes glides or slides underneath and within the bottom perimeter dimensions of any bin or bin carrier relative to its supporting structure in the refrigerated appliance. This allows adjacent bins to more efficiently utilize lateral storage space in the refrigerator. It also promotes hiding of the glide or slides from view.
Easy access overhead cabinet apparatus
In embodiments, the invention includes an apparatus for accessing a cabinet and a method of using the apparatus. The apparatus includes a drawer slidably mounted to the cabinet and a motorized axis to slide the drawer relative to the cabinet. A box slidably mounts to the drawer and includes another motorized axis to slide the box relative to the drawer. A limit device is adjustable to define a set position as the end of motion of the motorized axis that slides the drawer. The limit device is adjustable to define the extent of motion at one of a plurality of positions. The method includes providing the apparatus and adjusting the limit device to a clear position so that the box clears an obstacle when the drawer is disposed with the drawer motorized axis at the clear position, and operating the switch.
GUIDE DEVICE
In order to provide a guide device (100) which is producible in a simple manner and which enables reliable and stable guidance of two elements moveable relative to each other, it is proposed that the guide device (100) comprise a guide rail (102) and a sliding body (110) which is displaceable in sliding manner on the guide rail (102) along a guide direction (112), wherein the sliding body (110) comprises at least one pair (124) of mutually oppositely located sliding surfaces (118) with which the sliding body (110) rests on at least one pair (126) of mutually oppositely located contact surfaces (108) of the guide rail (102), wherein the sliding body (110) comprises a pressing device (130) by means of which the at least one pair (124) of sliding surfaces (118) of the sliding body (110) is pressable onto the at least one pair (126) of contact surfaces (108) of the guide rail (102).
DRAWER ASSEMBLY WITH ANTI-SQUEAK AND RATTLE SYSTEM
A drawer assembly is provided. That drawer assembly includes a bezel and a drawer carried on the bezel. The drawer is displaceable between a closed position and an opened position. A lock assembly secures the drawer in the closed position. The lock assembly includes a locking feature on the drawer and a catch in the bezel. A first spring feature on the bezel biases the locking feature tightly against the catch when the drawer is in the closed position so as to mitigate squeaks, rattles and vibrations.
Drawer arrangements
Drawer arrangements are provided which include a drawer connected to a support structure having three guides for the path of the drawer between open and closed positions, at least two of which are operational at any given position of the drawer, as it moves both horizontally and vertically between different locations. In a closed position, the drawer is supported near its horizontal extremities and rests in a position that resists horizontal motion. In fully extended open positions, the drawer is supported in a cantilevered manner from the support structure. Intermediate the fully closed and fully extended positions, the drawer is supported in inclined positions which provide access to contents therein. The present invention also includes mounting structure which facilitates connection at a variety of locations under the floor of a motor home, with exterior accessibility.
DRAWER ASSEMBLY WITH BEZEL INCLUDING AN INTEGRAL DRAWER CENTERING DEVICE
A drawer assembly is provided. That drawer assembly includes a drawer and a bezel. The bezel includes an integral drawer centering device whereby smooth sliding action of the drawer in the bezel is provided. The bezel and the integral drawer centering device are molded as a unitary component.
APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR STORAGE IN A REFRIGERATED APPLIANCE
