Patent number: 11613287Abstract: A cart, such as a kitchen cart, has a bottom shelf supported by leg members. The leg members further support a central shelf or basket at a user-desired position along the legs, and a top support. The top support can retain a top work surface thereto. On at least one side of the cart, arms can pivot outward, adjacent the top work surface, to support one or more work surface extension members. Typically, there may be one work surface extension member on each side of the cart, providing the user with additional workspace and providing the option of removal without interfering with the functionality of the cart.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: TRINITY INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, L.L.C.Inventors: Jerry Chiao, Yuan-Luen Chuang, Cze-Chao Tam, Wai Kit Chan

Patent number: 11596226Abstract: A storage solution uses wire shelves where the width of the wire shelves can be customized by a user by adding one or more central members between two end members. Thus, the shelving can be installed in one cabinet having a first width, and moved, if desired, to a cabinet of a different width by adding or removing central members from the shelf. Further, a manufacturer can provide a variety of shelf sizes by simply varying the number of central members that are provided. The shelving may be attached at each end to a slide to permit one or more shelves to extend outward from the inside of a cabinet.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: TRINITY INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, L.L.C.Inventors: Jerry Chiao, Yuan-Luen Chuang, Cze-Chao Tam

Patent number: 11506440Abstract: A cooler can include a game table formed in a top surface thereof. The game table can include a game surface surrounded by side walls about its perimeter for storage of the game elements and to prevent game elements, such as game balls, from escaping from the recessed game surface. The game surface can include elements for various games, including foosball, hockey, football, pool, craps, roulette, chess, checkers, backgammon or the like. In some embodiments, the game elements may be interchanged to provide multiple different games that can be played in the recessed gaming surface. In some embodiments, game players may be disposed on arms that extend across the game table in a manner similar to conventional foosball players. Such arms may be made removable to permit changing between game player-based games and games that can be played directly on the recessed surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: TRINITY INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, L.L.C.Inventors: Yuan-Luen Chuang, Cze-Chao Tam

Publication number: 20220095790Abstract: A modular closet system provides reconfigurable closet capacity and an appearance of a customized closet in any of the configurations. The system includes at least two sideframes cooperating to define a space therebetween creating a closet module when assembled. A series of through holes on an inside surface of the sideframes are used to attach a variety of storage devices from the system's sides, which may be re-positioned by user design. When assembled, any of the fasteners used to attach the storage devices are hidden from a front view perspective of the system. Once assembled, the perimeter of the storage devices cooperates with the frames to block the view of the fasteners. Some embodiments may extend closet capacity by including a hanging rod system that connects two frame modules together via the through hole system on respective closet modules, which when assembled also blocks the view of any fasteners.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: JERRY CHIAO, CZE-CHAO TAM, WAI KIT CHAN, YINAN YANG

Patent number: 11241784Abstract: A workbench has a frame disposed on a set of wheels with a plurality of storage solutions, such as drawers, disposed within the frame. The workbench can include a work surface on a top surface of the frame and one or more handles permitting movement of the workbench as desired. The workbench can include a pegboard that is pivotable between a deployed configuration, where the pegboard extends upward from a back surface of the workbench, and a stowed configuration, where the pegboard is stored adjacent the back surface of the workbench. Typically, in the stowed configuration, the pegboard does not extend beyond either a plane defined by the work surface or a plane defined by a bottom surface, opposite the work surface, of the workbench frame. The workbench may be packaged and shipped in the stowed configuration, allowing the user to easily fully assembly the workbench assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: TRINITY INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, L.L.C.Inventors: Jerry Chiao, Yuan-Luen Chuang, Cze-Chao Tam

Patent number: 11044993Abstract: A storage solution uses a ladder mount to support a shelving slide or the shelving member itself. The ladder mount can be attached to and extend upward from a base of an enclosure, such as a cabinet. Two or more ladder mounts can be used to support the shelf and/or shelf slide. The ladder mount can permit a shelving system having a width smaller than an enclosure width, to be installed in the enclosure, where one side of the shelf and/or shelf slide can attach to a cabinet side wall, and the other side of the shelf and/or shelf slide can attach to a free-standing ladder mount system. Alternatively, both sides of the shelf slide and/or shelf can be supported by a free-standing ladder mount system.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: TRINITY INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, L.L.C.Inventors: Jerry Chiao, Yuan-Luen Chuang, Cze-Chao Tam
