  • Patent number: 6948629
    Abstract: A rack includes a stationary container, that includes a movable member positioned within the container by remote operation of a motor. The motor is either carried as part of the movable member or is in the container with fittings inter-connecting a drive shaft of the fixed motor with the movable member. A remote actuator is employed for starting and stopping the motor so that the movable member is controllably deployed into and out of the container. Bearings are installed between the container and the movable member to provide movement of the movable member and pivoting rods are provided on the movable member for supporting articles intended to be stored, such rods being hooks, shelves, or internal compartments or the like. A heater may be installed for drying any wet or damp articles. A device for coupling the motor to the movable member may be a lead screw mechanism and a pulley system interconnecting the movable member with the stationary or fixed container.
