Abstract: An article transport apparatus includes a traveling portion configured to travel along a rail portion and a mounting portion configured to have a structure suspended under a traveling portion to mount articles thereon, in particular, the rail portion includes a plurality of first straight rails extending in a first direction while being arranged parallel to each other at first intervals, a plurality of second straight rails extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction while being arranged parallel to each other at second intervals, and a connecting rail configured to connect between the first straight rails and the second straight rails, which perpendicularly face each other, so that the traveling portion travels between the first straight rails and the second straight rails perpendicularly facing each other.

Abstract: A space efficient multi-function kitchen appliance including a number of compartments. The compartments are vertically superimposed with respect to each other and can include serving tray, a cooking compartment, a storage compartment, and a refrigeration compartment. If desired, each compartment can be slidably coupled to a frame to function as discrete drawers. The cooking drawer can include a control switch that is pivotally movable between a horizontal position and a raised position so that the closing of the cooking drawer automatically turns off the cooking device. The storage drawer can be located between the cooking drawer and the refrigeration drawer to buffer the changes in temperature between the refrigeration compartment and the cooking compartment. The refrigeration drawer and the storage drawer can each be complementary stepped to have different heights on their left and right sides to maximize storage functionality.
