A drive device for a movable furniture part has a lockable ejection device for ejecting the movable furniture part from a closed position into an open position. The ejection device can be unlocked by pressing the movable furniture part into an over-pressed position situated behind the closed position in the closing direction. A blocking element is provided which has a blocking position in which the blocking element prevents the unlocking of the ejection device upon reaching the pressed-over position, and which has a release position in which the ejection device can be unlocked upon reaching the pressed-over position.

A sliding arrangement, in particular a slide-out device for drawers, sliding doors, etc., includes a sliding piece and a pulling arrangement which can be coupled together by a coupling piece. The pulling arrangement can be placed in a resiliently pretensioned manner in a parking position and can be blocked in the parking position by a locking element. In order to ensure a reliable movement of a drawer or the like into the closure position, the locking element may be locked in the parking position of the pulling arrangement by a bar.

A driving mechanism for furniture is disclosed. The furniture includes a first furniture part and a second furniture part. The driving mechanism includes a first driving device including a first base, a locking device connected to the first base, a swing member movably connected to the second furniture part, a second driving device mounted to the second furniture part and including an elastic member, and a clutch device mounted to the first base. Wherein when the second furniture part is moved from an open position toward a retrieve position to reach a predetermined position, the clutch device is switched from an engaging status to a free status by the second driving device, and the elastic member provides a driving force for driving the second furniture part to be retrieved relative to the first furniture part.

A pressure release slide latch mechanism for a drawer slide assembly comprises an outer slide, an intermediate slide mounted in the outer slide, and an inner slide mounted in the intermediate slide, a channel plate having a track portion and a guide block attached to the outer slide and a carriage slidingly engaged and biased along the track portion. A pin of a follower pivotally attached to the inner slide engages the guide block to releasably maintain the drawer slide assembly in a closed position and releases upon an inward force applied to the drawer slide assembly.

A medication storage and dispensing workstation for use in a medication management system administering the inventory and distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies in a healthcare environment is disclosed. The workstation incorporates a linear drawer assembly having a plurality of discrete, removable, storage modules for containing medications and/or other medical supplies. The storage modules are arranged in a linear array extending longitudinally along the travel path of the linear drawer assembly. Each storage module, in turn, comprises a drawer that is extensible laterally relative to the linear arrangement of the storage modules. As such, the drawer assemblies comprise a compartmentalized drawer-in-drawer arrangement that provides an efficient use of storage space and enables a user to utilize the workstation in a workspace having a smaller footprint that traditional storage cabinet apparatus.

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.

A drawer glide mechanism can include a first elongate guide member, a second elongate guide member, a ball bearing component, a v-notch socket, a release mechanism, and/or a roller support. The first elongate guide member can include a distal end that is configured to fit within an opening in the v-notch socket. The drawer glide mechanism can further include one or more floating members and fixed members. In some cases, the drawer glide mechanism includes a release member configured to facilitate separation of the first and second elongate guide members when actuated and to inhibit or prevent accidental separation of the first and second elongate guide members.

A storage system comprising: a cartridge, said cartridge including an upright having mounted to one side a plurality of guide blocks; a plurality of first drawer information means for providing information on at least one of position and movement of respective drawers; and a plurality of latch mechanisms, said system further comprising a plurality of drawers, each said drawer including: guide block engaging means extending in a depth direction of the drawer and mounting a first side of the drawer adjacent a respective guide block; second drawer information means disposed adjacent the first drawer information means; and at least one stop on the first side of the drawer for engaging with a said latch mechanism, wherein the latch mechanisms are electronically controllable, whereby access to the drawers can be controlled.

An adjusting device is provided and includes a base, a driving member, an adjusting member and an engaging member. The adjusting member is arranged on the base and adjustably connected to the driving member. The engaging member is switchable between an engaging state and a disengaging state relative to the base. When the engaging member is in the engaging state, the engaging member is configured to engage with the adjusting member for preventing the adjusting member from adjusting the driving member. When the engaging member is in the disengaging state, the engaging member disengages from the adjusting member for allowing the adjusting member to adjust the driving member.
