SLIDING TRAY SYSTEM
A sliding tray system for a storage unit to allow a user to easily access and utilize the rear of an elevated storage unit. The sliding tray system has a tray, roller supports, rollers, two tracks, and a pull strap. The tray has a well having a bottom wall, side walls and flanges extending outwardly from the side walls at a top of the well.

Cabinet Drawer
The invention relates to a cabinet drawer (1), in particular for tall cabinets, comprising a frame (4) which is to be arranged in the interior of the cabinet body (2) and has a cabinet door (3) or a similar cabinet covering on the front face on a vertical longitudinal support (6). The frame (4), which has a respective support base (7), can be moved out of a first operating position, which lies within the cabinet body (2), into a pull-out position, which lies in front of the cabinet body (2), as a second operating position in a translational manner, and the frame (4), which has an upper (8) and a lower (9) pull-out rail, can be converted into the second operating position using a rear vertical longitudinal support (5) such that the frame (4) can be pivoted about a vertical pivot axis in the second operating position. The cabinet drawer (1) is paired with a blocking device (13) which prevents the frame (4) from carrying out a pivoting movement before reaching the second operating position and releases the frame (4) to carry out a pivoting movement in the second operating position. The aim of the invention is to improve such a cabinet drawer (1). This is achieved in that the blocking device (13) has a slotted gate part (14) which can be pivoted about a vertical axis and comprises a guide path (15), the slotted gate part (14) together with the frame (4) can be moved into the second operating position, a guide part (16) of the frame (4) is guided in the guide path (15) of the slotted gate part (14) during a part of the pivoting movement of the frame, and the slotted gate part (14) is arranged within the blocking device (13) in the course of the translational movement of the frame (4) into the second operating position so as to be prevented from carrying out a pivoting movement.

STORAGE CABINET
A storage cabinet includes a housing with a drawer that slides into and out of the housing. A turntable is coupled to the drawer and a tray is disposed on the turntable. A pivot is coupled to the housing and the turntable and includes an extension received in a guide slot of the turntable. The turntable and the tray rotate in response to linear movement of the drawer into and out of the housing via movement of the extension of the pivot along the guide slot of the turntable. The cabinet may also include rolling elements between the turntable and the drawer. An item stored on the tray is rotated as the drawer moves into and out of the housing to enable traditional storage configurations while also allowing users to view different sides of the item based on the position of the drawer.
