  • Patent number: 11859805
    Abstract: A tape light termination system includes a terminal in a housing. The terminal includes an electrically conducting contact area and a termination lug to fixedly connect an electric conductor with the terminal and provide an electrically conducting path between the termination lug and the contact point. The housing includes compartments sized to receive and hold the terminal, and slots which are positioned and dimensioned to receive opposing edges of a light emitting diode (LED) tape light. The LED tape light includes a flexible strip having LED diode circuitry and an electrically conductive pad on the planar surface. Each of the slots provide access in the housing to the electrically conductive contact area and alignment of the electrically conducting contact area of the terminal to contiguously contact the electrically conductive pad and enable a current flow path therebetween.

  • Patent number: 11844429
    Abstract: A cabinet storage system for a cabinet includes a base and a pair of slides. Each of the slides includes a face frame lip standoff extending from a front edge of a respective slide to align the cabinet storage system in a bottom of the cabinet. A bracket may be coupled with each respective slide, the bracket includes a face frame bracket positioned to extend beyond the front edge of the respective slide and the face frame lip. The face frame bracket is available to couple a cabinet front to the cabinet storage system. A slidable portion of each of the slides may include front ears and rear ears. The front ears include apertures to receive a first fastener coupled with the base, and the rear ears including an alignment notch to guide the base into alignment with a respective slide using a second fastener coupled with the base.

  • Patent number: 11821618
    Abstract: A rotatable shelf illumination system may include a rotatable shelf having a groove in which one or more light sources may be mounted. A refractive lens may be mounted in the groove covering the one or more light sources. The rotatable shelf may be, for example, a lazy susan. A removeable and rechargeable power supply may be controlled by a controller circuitry to selectively energize the one or more light sources when rotation of the rotatable shelf is detected. A magnetic field sensor may be used with the controller circuitry to detect rotational movement of the rotatable shelf. The controller circuitry may implement energy conservation measures to prolong the charge of the rechargeable power supply.

  • Publication number: 20230248146
    Abstract: A cabinet shelving system includes a first set of shelves and a second set of shelves each having an upper shelf. The first and second set of shelves may be mounted on a cabinet mounting frame. The cabinet mounting frame may be installed in an interior cavity of a cabinet. The cabinet mounting frame may be used to slide the second set of shelves within the interior cavity while the first set of shelves is outside the interior cavity. Each of the first set of shelves and the second set of shelves may be independent slid, using a pair of slide out slides, between inside and outside of the interior cavity. The upper shelf of the first set of shelves and the second set of shelves may slide from outside to inside the interior cavity independent of movement of the first shelf frame and the second shelf frame, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11659924
    Abstract: A multi-level cabinet storage system includes a multi-level storage container that includes a number of shelves, each with horizontal planar surfaces, coupled between the vertical opposing members. The horizontal planar surfaces of respective shelves may be aligned vertically in parallel planes. The vertical opposing members may include a rear vertical member and a front vertical member. The multi-level cabinet storage system also includes a first slide member coupled with a base of the multi-level storage container and a second slide member coupled at a first end with the rear vertical member and extending parallel with, and along, a horizontal planar surface of an upper shelf included among the shelves. The multi-level cabinet storage system also includes an external frame formed as a contiguous rigid structure coupled with the first slide member and the second slide member.

  • Patent number: 11659926
    Abstract: A cabinet storage system includes a base and a pair of slides. The base includes a first planar surface and a second planar surface. The first and second planar surfaces are opposing surfaces of the base and define a perimeter of the base. The pair of slides are coupled with the first planar surface. The system also includes fences positioned away from the second planar surface around the perimeter of the base, and structural columns mechanically coupled with the base. The structural columns are positioned to abut the second planar surface and longitudinally extending away from the second planar surface to rigidly maintain the fences around the perimeter of the base.

  • Patent number: 11070038
    Abstract: A cabinet system may include a storage container mountable in a cabinet to be movable between being extended out of the cabinet, and being disposed inside the cabinet. The system may include a pair of slide members, and a power connection point. The slide members may slidably connect the storage container and the cabinet. The power connection point includes a cover and an electric outlet. The cover is moveable between a closed position where the electric outlet is inaccessible by a power plug, and an open position where the electric outlet is accessible by the power plug. Slidable movement of the storage container to move the power connection point from outside to inside the cabinet is denied due the cover, in the open position, extending away from the storage container.

  • Patent number: 9818559
    Abstract: A light switch includes an outer housing formed with a plurality of intersecting walls to define a recess and including a first ferromagnetic material. The outer housing is configured to be coupled with an external structure by a plurality of mounting brackets integrally formed as part of the outer housing and extending outwardly therefrom. The light switch also includes an inner housing. The inter housing includes a user controllable switch mechanism and a second ferromagnetic material. At least one of the first ferromagnetic material and the second ferromagnetic material comprises a permanent magnet, and the inner housing is sized to be received and removably maintained in the recess formed in the outer housing by magnetic attraction between the first ferromagnetic material and the second ferromagnetic material.
