The Hideaway is the only product of its kind that has the capability of freeing up countertops by raising or lowering a microwave effortlessly, within minutes into a kitchen island. Hideaway is uniquely designed with a seamless countertop piece that is attached to the microwave top to ensure discretion and a seamless display while the microwave is stored within the island.

An under counter safe for securing items and providing quick access includes upper and lower sections forming an interior cavity, with the upper section attachable to the underside of a countertop, desk, or other surface. A linkage mechanism may connect the upper and lower sections, allowing the lower section to be raised or lowered with respect to the upper section to allow access to the interior cavity. A dual locking mechanism may secure the lower section to the upper mechanism at two points, and a release mechanism may simultaneously disengage both locking points to allow access. The release mechanism may be manually or electronically activated.

The techniques and systems (e.g., elevator shelf systems) for efficient shelving and item storage are described. For instance, one or more aspects of the described example shelving systems may provide for more compact and more stable shelving systems (e.g., saving more space cabinets for storage rather than shelving operating mechanisms, providing more stability against lateral and in/out swings during descent and ascent, providing capabilities of handling shelving loads up to 30 kg, etc.). One or more inventive aspects of the techniques and systems described herein include the efficient integration and configuration of drawer slides (e.g., for in/out shelf motion), as well as the efficient integration and configuration of a belt and reel system (e.g., for up/down shelf motion).

A linearly actuated bar cabinet has display stand rotatably connected atop a base where liquor bottles or other items may be placed. A linear actuation mechanism uses a motor housed within the base to turn a lead screw which traverses from within the base, centrally through the display stand, and is threadedly engaged with an internal threading connected to a housing. As the motor actuates the lead screw, the internal threading traverses along the lead screw, thus moving the housing toward or away from the base between a closed configuration, wherein the housing encloses the display stand, and an opened configuration, wherein the display stand is exposed. A lighting platform may further be positioned above the display stand for aesthetic purposes.

The present invention relates to an apparatus comprising a table with a generally horizontal top surface, an opening in the top surface, a receptacle located beneath the opening, a piston located inside the receptacle, and a means for moving the piston from a first vertical position to a second vertical position.

A retractable display may erect from a display housing cavity and tilt to a specified angle for optimum display characteristics. One example may include at least one of a display housing cavity, a display, a track mounted to the display inside the display housing cavity, and a lead screw disposed on the track which rotationally raises the track and the display out of the display housing cavity.
