Abstract:
A laterally adjustable mounting bracket for use on a desk or cabinet drawer maintained by a supporting surface and with a tongueless drawer guide having a base plate, a moveable drawer guide plate cooperatively receiving a tongueless drawer guide, and means for adjustably securing the drawer guide plate to the base plate. The adjustable securing means includes base plate spring members having a plurality of serrations, guide plate spring engaging members having a plurality of serrations cooperatively engaging the serrations of the base plate spring members to enable preselective lateral adjustment of the drawer, drawer guide and drawer guide plate with respect to the desk or cabinet housing the drawer. The drawer guide plate has a resilient stop and the base plate has an elongated slot and connecting ramp cooperatively receiving and engaging the stop to limit the preselected adjustment of the drawer, drawer guide and drawer guide plate with respect to the desk or cabinet. The base plate has top and bottom flanges cooperatively receiving the drawer guide plate for preselected adjustment therebetween.
Abstract:
An adjustable and alignable lazy susan system wherein the interior components are slidably mounted on and supported by a vertical tube and can be locked in the installed position or collapsed upon themselves at one end of the shaft and secured in that arrangement to avoid damage and misalignment during shipment.
Abstract:
A laterally adjustable mounting bracket for use with a desk or cabinet drawer and with a drawer guide having a bent tongue, the bracket including a base and opposing spring flanges flexibly secured to the base and cooperatively receiving the drawer guide tongue for lateral adjustment. The base is secured to the desk or cabinet, and latching members having shaft sections and engaging ears secure the bracket to the desk or cabinet.
Abstract:
A supporting and guide roller for pull-out guides for drawers comprises a roller body made of hard material, the shell surface of the roller body forming a first rolling surface, at least one circumferential groove being arranged in the area of the first rolling surface and being filled with an elastic material, which forms a second rolling surface when the roller is not under load and projects a certain amount over the first rolling surface. The second rolling surface is arranged in the area of a wider notch in the roller body extending in the peripheral direction of the roller. When the soft rolling surface is under load, the material of the soft rolling surface is displaced into the area of the notch.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes an enclosure including one or more ultraviolet lights configured to kill germs, the enclosure including a drawer for placing items into and removing items from the enclosure, wherein the enclosure is configured for insertion into an existing cabinet. The apparatus can include an adjustable width bracket, wherein the adjustable width bracket allows the enclosure to be secured against side surfaces within the existing cabinet. The apparatus can also include an adjustable depth bracket, wherein the adjustable depth bracket allows the enclosure to be secured against a back surface within the existing cabinet. The apparatus can also include a bottom bracket, wherein the bottom bracket allows the enclosure to be secured against a bottom surface of the existing surface. In one example, the enclosure is connected to an air filtration system.
Abstract:
A hinge assembly is provided to mount a door to a housing, and includes a housing fixation section (1), a hinge cup (3) pivotally connected to the housing fixation section (1), and a damping mechanism (4) positioned entirely within the hinge cup (3) to dampen movement of the door as it closes on the housing.
Abstract:
A shelf system is shown and described. In one embodiment, the system is for use with a post having at least one aperture. The system comprises a first head and a second head configured to mount to the post. The system also includes a collar configured to encircle the post and rest on the first and second heads. The collar may engage a shelf or may be integral with a shelf. The collar has an inner track configured to contact the first head and an outer track configured to contact the second head. The collar is configured to allow the shelf to rotate around the post from a first rest-position and return to the first-rest position without encountering a second rest-position.
Abstract:
A rotary shelf assembly mechanism has shelves mounted on a vertical post arrangement formed by a first lower post and a second upper post. The mechanism is connected to a cabinet by upper and lower mounting brackets interacting with the top and bottom of the cabinet to support the posts and shelves carried thereby. The mechanism is mounted in the corner of the cabinet. To fit the mechanism within the cabinet, a height adjustment device is formed by positioning the second upper post in the upper end of the first lower post for slidable movement therebetween. When securement of the two joined posts and mounted shelves is desired, the slidably movable second upper post is extended upwardly until it engages the upper mounting bracket mounted on the cabinet. An elongated recess in the second upper post aligns with an opening in the first lower post, and a threaded member extends into a casting positioned within the upper post. The threaded member is tightened to engage the casting and secure the two posts in a shelf-retaining and rotational mode. The height adjustment device enables quick and efficient installation of the mechanism within the cabinet interior. The mechanism also includes a one piece shelf construction having a post-securing section and a shelf-retaining pin.
Abstract:
A drawer closing mechanism includes a toothed rack fixed in position with respect to a furniture frame member, a toothed drive gear mounted to a drawer for engaging the teeth on the rack, and a spring with two ends, one end being fixedly attached to the drive gear and rotatable therewith and the opposite end being fixed, wherein as the drawer is pulled open, the teeth on the drive gear engage the teeth on the rack and rotate the drive gear, and as the drive gear rotates, the spring is wound and potential energy is stored in the tension therein. The spring can be a flat wire spring wound circumferentially about a central point in a spiral.
