Easy reach basket carousel
An easy reach basket carousel is disclosed. An example of the easy reach basket carousel includes a drive mechanism and a follower mechanism. The easy reach basket carousel also includes a belt extending between the drive mechanism and the follower mechanism. The easy reach basket carousel also includes a plurality of rods configurable by an end-user at various locations in the belt. The plurality of rods may be spaced apart from one another and extend from the housing to receive one or more basket thereon. The rods are movable by the drive mechanism.
Reconfigurable workspace
The invention is a reconfigurable workspace. The workspace is compact in order to keep components of the workspace within an arm's reach while standing in a fixed location. The workspace is made up of two rectangular housings, preferably of the same compact size and shape. The first housing has at least a sink and a counter space, though it could have other appliances. The second housing has a circulating storage system, preferably an automated storage and retrieval system that delivers items to a convenient access point. The two housings are repositionable in relation to each other along a fixed path. An apparatus such as a hinge or a set of tracks repositions the housings in relation to each other along the fixed path.

ROTATING MECHANISM FOR A STORAGE CABINET AND THE CABINET
There is provided a storage cabinet that includes a rotating mechanism configured to rotate the storage units within the storage cabinet. The rotating mechanism comprises a first set of rotational gears having a first direction of rotation and a first central axis perpendicular to the first direction of rotation, a second set of rotational gears having a second direction of rotation and a second central axis perpendicular to the second direction of rotation. The mechanism further comprises a chain adapted to be operatively connected to the first and second set of rotational gears, and a rail adapted to be mounted on the internal walls of the storage cabinet, wherein the cabinet rail and the chain are configured to receive the at least one storage unit so as to rotate said at least one storage unit clockwise or counterclockwise movement within the storage cabinet along the first and second rotation directions.
