Abstract:
A rotating under-bed storage unit is disclosed in which a drawer is mounted under a bed frame and bears a rotating circular platform within. The drawer with the circular platform is configured to be flush with the margin of the bedframe. When the platform is not in use, it does not extend beyond the bed frame and is therefore out of the way. However, upon sliding the drawer out, the circular platform is exposed and the stored contents of the platform are visible and accessible. The platform is rotated until the desired stored item is located. The drawer is then slid back into its closed stored position. Disclosed are multiple variations of rotating under-bed storage units contained in drawers. These variations shown utilize sliding supports, platforms of various sizes, shapes, structural and aesthetic features.
Abstract:
A device for the rotary movement has a planar bearing region relative to a bearing region of a carrier panel. The bearing region is arranged in a plane-parallel state in relation to the bearing region. As seen in the plane of the bearing surfaces, a length of the item is greater than a width of the item. Mutually facing bearing surfaces of the bearing regions have respective running channels, in which rolling-contact bodies are guided. The running channels are formed such that the item is moveable relative to the carrier panel from a starting position into an end position, in which the item has been pivoted through a predetermined angle of between 130° and 180° relative to the carrier panel and can be pivoted in a pivoting direction back into the starting position. A connecting stub projects out from one of the bearing regions and is moveable in a guide track arranged in the other of the two bearing regions. The guide stub is arranged eccentrically on one of the bearing regions and the guide track is in the form of a curve with a varying radius of curvature.
Abstract:
An under-bed storage unit is disclosed in which a freestanding structure is disposed under a bed frame and bears a generally circular platform thereon. The platform has a cut edge configured to be flush with the margin of the bedframe so that when the platform is not in use, it does not extend beyond the bed frame and is therefore out of the way. However, upon rotation, the arc of the circular platform is exposed and the stored contents of the platform are visible and accessible. The platform is rotated until the desired stored item is located and is then returned to its stored position. A number of variations of under-bed storage units utilizing freestanding supports, platforms of various sizes and shapes, structural and aesthetic platform feature, and associated support structures are also disclosed.
Abstract:
There is provided a customizable shower caddy. The shower caddy includes connectors that can be set at various heights along a rod that is supported between a shower basin or tub at the bottom and a ceiling at the top. Product holders can be connected to the connectors at different positions about the rod. This provides flexibility in the layout of which direction the product holders extend from the rod, which enables the shower caddy to be set up for use in a corner, along a wall or in the center of the shower or tub.
Abstract:
A novel temperature regulating food conveying container system for holding hot and cold food in close proximity is provided. In preferred embodiments, the system generally includes a plurality of stacked, concentric, and annular levels with decreasing diameters. The levels are configured with a plurality of food serving containers each with a corresponding temperature regulating unit. One or more motors may be configured to rotate the individual levels. One or more light elements may be positioned at various locations on and around the levels. In further preferred embodiments, a control switch is configured to control the temperature of each individual temperature unit.
Abstract:
A cabinet is mounted on a spindle, which may be secured to a slide-out shelf within the gun safe for additional storage. The cabinet includes one or more doors that hingedly open to allow access to the interior of the cabinet. Upper and lower external mounting surfaces are provided to retain a rifle for storage. An optional upper pistol support and an internal safe may also be included.
Abstract:
A shoe carousel device that includes in one embodiment a base for stabilization and support, a support stem attached to the base and extending upwards therefrom at an approximate 90 degree angle, and a plurality of stackable shelves mounted on the support stem, including a discrete top shelf. The stackable shelves and top shelf are circular shaped with a raised outer tab and lighting disposed along their circumference and a relatively thin mesh surfacing. In some embodiments, the shoe carousel device also includes a foot pedal actuated motor operative to rotate the shoe carousel device.
Abstract:
Provided is a constant-temperature device which comprises conveyance mechanism and which can operate stably over a long period of time even when installed in an atmosphere of a sterilization gas having strong oxidative properties, such as hydrogen peroxide gas, or a high temperature environment during dry-heat sterilization operations. A drive unit for a rotatably operated specimen table (10) on which a specimen is placed, in an incubation chamber, is arranged outside of the incubation chamber, and the drive-force from the drive unit is transmitted by means of magnetic coupling. Furthermore, ring-shaped seal packing (22), in which a lip (24) is formed, is arranged above and below a base plate (13) provided to the specimen plate (10), and a seal plate (23) is arranged along the entire perimeter of the base plate (13) at the portion which makes contact with the lip (24), thus a bearing (17) and/or a drive portion are isolated from high-temperature atmospheres and in-chamber atmospheres having strong oxidative properties, preventing damage due to high temperatures or sterilization gas.
Abstract:
A vertically adjustable rotary shelf assembly for use within a corner cabinet is provided. The shelf assembly includes an inner pole telescopically engaged with an outer pole. Disc shaped shelves are adjustably attached. A first height adjustment assembly provides a “macro” adjustment between the inner pole and the outer pole. A second height adjustment assembly provides a “micro” adjustment. The second height adjustment provides a shaft having a threaded section, a thumbwheel threadably engaged with the threaded section, and a two lobed cam. Rotation of the thumbwheel adjusts the vertical position of the outer pole, the shelves, and an attached cabinet face to align the cabinet face with the adjacent cabinets. A flexible cam follower is provided. The flexible cam follower engages the two lobed cam to bias the cabinet face in a “home” position.
