  • Publication number: 20230097514
    Abstract: A wall cabinet for attachment to a wall includes a carcass that is fixable to a wall and a shelving unit that is housed within the carcass. The shelving unit is movable relative to the carcass between a first position, wherein the shelving unit is housed within the carcass, and second position, wherein the shelving unit extends at least partially beneath the carcass. Sensors may be provided to detect a position of a door of the cabinet, detect an environment beneath the shelving unit, and/or detect an acceleration of the shelving unit. The shelving unit includes a bottom shelf and a further shelf, and the bottom shelf protrudes forward beyond the further shelf.

  • Publication number: 20230099221
    Abstract: A method of controlling a worktop unit including a frame configured to support a worksurface and a leg configured to support the frame such that the frame is movable relative to the leg between a first position and a second position having a greater elevation than the first position; and a sensor configured to detect an environment beneath the worktop unit and/or a sensor configured to detect an acceleration of the frame, includes the steps of: determining whether a safety condition is satisfied, the safety condition being a condition for avoiding collision between the worktop unit and its environment; or a crush condition; and if the safety condition is satisfied, moving the frame between the first position and the second position.

  • Patent number: 11064803
    Abstract: A kit of parts for forming a kitchen unit (100) includes a first frame component (110) having a plurality of tubular edge elements (111-114), a second frame component (120) having a plurality of tubular edge elements (121-123) and a plurality of tubular legs (130,140). The plurality of tubular legs include a plurality of end legs (130), to be secured to the first frame component 110 in a recess (116) disposed between adjacent edge elements (111-114) of the first frame component (110) and a plurality of intermediate legs (140) configured to be secured to the first frame component (110) and the second frame component (120) in a recess defined by an edge element (111-114) of the first frame component (110) and an edge element (121-123) of the second component (120). The kit of parts permits a wide range of kitchen units, such as free-standing towers and islands, to be assembled from a relatively small set of basic components.

  • Publication number: 20070040493
    Abstract: A process for protecting first electrodes, conductive leads and the underlying substrate from the process of removing organic layers during the fabrication of an organic electronic device. After first electrodes and conductive leads are formed over a substrate, a protective layer is selectively formed over the structure, with the protective layer not being disposed over selected portions of the first electrodes, the conductive leads and the substrate. Organic layers are then formed over the structure, and second electrodes are formed over the organic layers. Those portions of the organic layers disposed over the selected portions of the first electrodes, conductive leads and substrate are removed, and the protective layer protects adjacent portions of the first electrodes, conductive leads and substrate from the process of removing the portions of the organic layers.

  • Publication number: 20050242341
    Abstract: An preferred embodiment of an assembly for manufacturing an OLED display includes a flexible substrate, a frame having an inner perimeter defining a central opening, and at least one of an adhesive and a fastener securing the flexible substrate to the frame so that the flexible substrate spans the central opening. A preferred method for supporting a flexible substrate for an OLED display during manufacture of the OLED display includes providing a rigid frame having an inner perimeter defining a central opening, and securing the flexible substrate to the frame using at least one of an adhesive and a fastener so that the flexible substrate spans the central opening.
