    摘要: 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).

    摘要: A cantilever shelving system is disclosed and can include a frame structure, a cantilever shelf support structure, and a plurality of load-bearing shelves that can be supported by the cantilever shelf support structure and the frame structure. The shelves can be positioned laterally adjacent to cantilever support arms of the cantilever shelf support structure, and the shelf support surfaces can be coplanar with upper walls of the cantilever support arms. Ends of laterally adjacent shelves do not overlap with a front side of a vertical support member to which the cantilever support arm is mounted. The cantilever shelving system can accommodate various user requirements and can be operably integrated with standard commercial and/or industrial equipment or machinery.

    摘要: A lifting cabinet includes a transmission assembly and a power unit for raising and lowering a shelf. The transmission assembly comprises a first transmission unit, comprising a screw rod which is connected with a driving device and a sliding piece which is connected with the lifting shelf, and the sliding piece is coupled to the screw rod. The screw rod rotates under the action of the driving device and drives the sliding piece to move back and forth along the axis of the screw rod; and then the sliding piece drives the lifting shelf to move up and down. For the lifting cabinet and the power unit thereof, the transmission assembly converts a rotary motion outputted from the driving device into a linear motion through the cooperation between the screw rod and the sliding piece, and a greater axial force is thereby outputted. Thus, a relatively small motor with a lower output torque can be used in the lifting cabinet to drive a lifting shelf of the same weight when compared to the conventional lifting cabinet, and the problem of large motor in conventional lifting cabinet taking up too much space is thereby solved.

    摘要: A utility storage system is provided, the system comprising a plurality of flat panels, the panels disposed atop one another. The system also comprises a plurality of vertically disposed support devices to provide support for panels disposed above. The system also comprises connectors disposed at corners of upward facing surfaces of the panels, the connectors providing seating for bases of the support devices. The supports are extensible and retractable. The panels comprise shelves that are positioned in one of a level manner and an angled manner. The shelves are disposed at one of uniform and non-uniform vertical distances from one another. The vertical distances are adjustable via one of extension and retraction of the support devices. Extension and retraction are effected via use of a telescoping feature of the support devices. Each support device contains a locking mechanism for securing height of associated support device.
