  • Publication number: 20150096950
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides enhanced storage systems that facilitate efficient storage of, and access to, a variety of items and products. Exemplary systems according to the present disclosure include mechanism(s) that permit reliable and efficient repositioning of one or more shelves, thereby enhancing utilization and efficiencies associated therewith. Shelving systems according to the present disclosure facilitate synchronized vertical motion of shelving units, e.g., based on coordinated pulley/cable systems, and advantageously include spring designs that facilitate controlled vertical motion of shelving units, e.g., based on fluid movement and/or discharge from the spring design. Rotational motion of the shelves relative to a stationary rod may be provided. Shelving units may be readily repositioned at elbow or eye level, and repositioned at their respective initial positions in an efficient and advantageous manner.

  • Publication number: 20060174389
    Abstract: The present invention related to a device for maintaining one's pant leg in the proper position in relation to one's shoes, to conceal the shoe, and retaining the trouser legs away from the ground. This invention includes a shoe with integrated fastener such as a hook, and a trouser leg with integrated fastener such as a loop. The shoe fastener integrated into the rear of the shoe just above the ground (e.g. the shoe hill) and the pants fastener integrated into the interior portion of the trouser leg cuff. Accordingly, the lower portion of the trousers legs may manually or automatically be attached to the shoe hill securing the trousers leg to the shoe and away from the ground.

  • Publication number: 20050029209
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides enhanced slide that facilitates efficient and safe access to items stored on upper shelves. Exemplary system according to the present disclosure includes one or more storage shelves support arms which are vertically mounted on one or more horizontal slides. The arms configurations, which are spring biased or track(s) mechanism guided, allows the arms to travel outward, and then when they are blocked by a stop or aliened with a track, to travel downward. In the case where the arms are pivotally mounted on the slides, the slide system produces horizontal and then arcuate movement of the shelves effectively bringing upper shelves to a lower position. When the arms interacting with guide track(s) mechanism, the slide system produces horizontal and then vertical movement of the shelves effectively bringing upper shelves to a lower position A mini dumper wheel controls the speed of the arms while moving from upper position to a lower position.

  • Publication number: 20050006331
    Abstract: A slide system, which contains a right and a left revolving slide, is provided to facilitate access to an upper storage area. Each revolving slide comprises of a rail structure which support verticals slides and a stack of horizontal slides which is mounted on the vertical slides. A stack of shelves are mounted on the horizontal slide, such as that the right revolving slide supports upper stack of shelves and the left revolving slide supports a lower stack of shelves. The upper shelves are movable outward by way of the horizontal slides and downward by way of the vertical slides. When upper shelves are moved downward the lower shelves are automatically moved upward by means of the pulley system effectively allowing upper shelves to continuously trade place with lower shelves in a clockwise or a counter clockwise manner.
