Latching mechanism
A latching mechanism (1) for a drawer or door has handle (2) which is pulled towards a user when the latching mechanism is being opened and pushed away from the user when the latching mechanism is being closed. A latch (3) is moveable between an extended orientation and a retracted orientation; an oblique surface (4) on the latch (3) contacts an actuator (5) when handle (2) is pulled towards the user, forcing the latch (3) towards the retracted orientation; biasing means biases latch (3) towards the extended orientation; and link (7) connects handle (2) to the other parts of the latching mechanism. When installed, link (7) is installed over an edge of a drawer or door so that the handle is located on the front side of the door or drawer and the latch, actuator and biasing means are located on the rear side of the door or drawer.
HARDWARE BAR ASSEMBLY
A bar assembly is provided with a bar sized to be grasped manually with a guide formed at least partially along a length. A plurality of posts is provided, each in cooperation with the guide of the bar to fasten the bar to a support surface at various fastener mounting patterns. A method to install a bar assembly aligns a post with an aperture in a support surface. A bar is provided that is sized to be grasped manually. The bar is slid into engagement with the post. A fastener is installed to the post from an inside of the support surface. The fastener is tightened until the bar is secured in the post and the post is secured to the support surface.

REPOSITIONAL STORAGE SHELF
A storage system, the system is disclosed having a base; a slot in the base; a spline that slides along the base; a plurality of latches in the spline; a plurality of shelves snapped into the plurality of latches; a cam attached to a bottom of the spline, wherein the cam is slidably inserted into the slot in the base and guides spline along a path along the base.
Cabinet knobs with lock-and-dock feature
Embodiments for lock-and-dock cabinet knobs for doors, cabinets, drawers, or other fixtures, provides an interchangeable face element attachment. The hardware fixture includes an internally threaded insert, a mounting element housing the insert and having internal and top peripheral mechanical attachment assemblies, and a face element having mechanically attachment assemblies rotatably corresponding to and attaching to the mounting element mechanical assemblies and a planar top. The face element planar top can receive and secure several varied and customizable, interchangeable parts. The face element is mechanically affixed to the mounting element to resist being dislodged inadvertently, while being easily removed when so intended, in particular by the easily operable lock-and-dock assembly mounting without the need to disconnect the threaded insert and mounting element housing from the drawer or cabinet door. An embodiment provides a refillable domed capsule as part of removable face element.

SHELVING SYSTEMS
A shelving system includes side members that each define a first channel having a slide disposed therein. A cross member extends between and connects the slides. The cross member defines a second channel having a guide member disposed therein. The guide member defines a third channel and a flange. A container includes side walls having a rail. One of the rails is movably disposed in the third channel. The rails include a first locking element and a second locking element. The handle includes a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The handle is movable between a first position in which the second locking element engages the flange and the container is fixed relative to the guide member and a second position in which the second locking element is spaced apart from the flange and the container can translate relative to the guide member.
Tilt bin for use in a tilt bin storage system
Tilt bin storage systems including a discrete multi-storey open front tilt bin frame having a single rectangular front frame surface and at least a lowermost storey of tilt bins and an uppermost storey of tilt bins. The tilt bins include a tilt bin shell, a discrete tilt bin handles and a securing arrangement for securing a discrete tilt bin handle on the tilt bin shell on downward sliding of the discrete tilt bin handle on a tilt bin shell front surface.
RE-POSITIONAL DRAWER/DOOR PULLS
A pull assembly that affords users the option of one of at least three positions along an operatively associated drawer or door board, wherein the drawer or the door board provide the conventional manufacturer pair of bore holes spaced apart. The pull assembly provides three pairs of complimentary holes, each pair spaced apart to align with the pair of bore holes of the drawer or the door board. The three pairs of complimentary holes are arranged so that every other hole of the pull assembly defines a pair of complementary holes, wherein two pull assembly holes are adjacent to each other near a middle portion of the pull assembly. The holes on the back of the pull could be four, five or six aligned to the two boring holes of the door or drawer.
