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.

COLLAPSIBLE AND TRANSPORTABLE RACK ASSEMBLY
Presented is a collapsible rack assembly for the transport and storage of substantially flat object(s). The collapsible rack assembly includes a base subassembly, a rotational shaft subassembly, and a rack subassembly. The base subassembly includes an L track system connected to spacers to define the overall shape of the base subassembly. The rotational shaft subassembly includes multiple side rotational shafts, an intermediate rotational shaft, multiple clamps, and a lever clamp. The rack assembly further includes side racks and an intermediate rack. Each of the side racks is fixedly connected to the side rotational shaft. The intermediate rack is fixedly connected to the intermediate rotational shaft. Each of the side racks as well as intermediate rack includes elongated rods spaced from one another to receive the substantially flat objec(s) such as door panels between two consecutive elongated rods.

Morphing trunk organizer using SMA enhanced bi-stable strips
A cargo organizer is constructed from one or more bi-stable strips with at least one shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator per bi-stable strip. The cargo organizer can reside in the bi-stable strips elongated (flat) stable state and require little or no volume of the cargo compartment that it resides. Upon actuating a SMA actuator, the rapid conversion to the curved stable state can occur with the formation of a barrier to partition the cargo compartment into at least to portions. The transformation into the flat stable state removes the partition where the transformation can be via a second SMA actuator or manually. The cargo organizer can be incorporated into the cargo compartment in a manner that it translates from one site and orientation to one or more other sites or orientations by activation an actuator that can be an additional SMA actuator.

TRIM ELEMENT FOR A VEHICLE ELEMENT
A trim element for a vehicle element, where the trim element comprises a shell with an inner surface intended to be oriented towards the interior of the vehicle element and an outer surface intended to form a rear surface of the vehicle element, and a pocket fixed to the outer surface of the shell, where the pocket comprises a panel which has a lower and lateral edges and at least one stiffening element arranged in the lower and lateral edges. The shell further comprises at least one groove in which are housed at least one from the lateral edges and/or the lower edge of the panel for assembly of the panel with the shell.
Suspended tissue-box holder assembly
A suspended tissue-box holder assembly is an assembly that enables users to suspend a tissue box in an accessible location within a vehicle so that the vehicle occupants can easily retrieve a tissue from the tissue box. The assembly may include a holder cover and a box holder. The box holder is designed to suspend a tissue box from two adjacent objects, such as vehicle seats. The holder cover encloses the box holder and facilitates the attachment of other accessories to the box holder. The box holder includes a holder body, a holder opening, a left suspension strap, and a right suspension strap. The holder body retains the tissue box and the holder opening enables the retrieval of a tissue from the tissue holder being retained within the holder body. The left suspension strap and the right suspension strap enable the suspension of the holder body from two adjacent objects.
MOUNTING AND STABILIZING BRACKET FOR THE CAR GRILLE
A bracket mounted on a car ventilation grille, in particular for fragrance carriers, consisting of a frame and fastening and stabilizing elements, characterized in that the frame is a U-shaped semi-closed structure provided with two arms, and the fastening and stabilizing elements are at least two sliding flexible fastening pads with a thickness less than or equal to the distance between the frame arms, at least one of which is applied to the first frame arm and at least one of which is applied to the second frame arm.
