Illumination for storage units

An illumination assembly for illuminating drawers of a storage unit, such as a cabinet or toolbox. The illumination assembly is adapted to be coupled to the storage unit by coupling the illumination assembly within a retrofittable or integrated feature of the storage unit to direct or radiate light into a containment space (such as a drawer) of the storage unit when opened. The illumination assembly may also illuminate a facade, sides, underside, or surrounding area of the storage unit.

Drawer latching assembly

An apparatus includes a coupling rod having a longitudinal axis and disposed within one or more bearing elements that laterally constrain the coupling rod while enabling axial rotation, multiple latching barbs coupled to the coupling rod, rotational force elements that apply a rotational force to the latching barbs in a latching direction and resist rotation of the latching barbs in an unlatching direction. The apparatus may be deployed in a rack system having a rack drawer. The apparatus may also include barb engagement elements for engaging and latching the latching barbs when the rack drawer is moved from an open position to a closed position. Rotation of the coupling rod in the unlatching direction unlatches the latching barbs when the rack drawer is in the closed position and enables a user to open the rack drawer. A method that uses the apparatus is also disclosed herein.

A power connector includes a housing holding first and second power contacts. The housing has first and second rails defining a slot receiving a power rail. The housing has an upper contact channel in an upper wall and a lower contact channel in a lower wall receiving the power contacts. The power contacts each have a base and deflectable spring beams extending into the slot and being exposed at the slot for slidable electrical connection to a first power rail contact of the power rail on an upper surface the power rail and a second power rail contact of the power rail on a lower surface the power rail.

Container and storage system
10906706 · 2021-02-02 · ·

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.

POWER RAIL
20210212464 · 2021-07-15 · ·

A power rail for arrangement on a pull-out guide for a movable furniture part, wherein the pull-out guide has a body rail and a drawer rail, which are supported such that they are movable relative to each other, wherein the power rail is designed such that it can be arranged on the body rail or on the drawer rail, wherein the power rail is designed, when arranged on the pull-out guide, to extend along the length of the body rail and/or along the length of the drawer rail in a direction of movement of the pull-out guide, wherein the power rail has two contact elements insulated electrically from each other, wherein the contact elements are designed to be electrically conductive, so that a current collector of a power supply unit can come into contact with one of the contact elements in order to produce an electrically conductive connection.
