Abstract: An illustrated view of an exemplary storage apparatus for holding items is presented. The storage apparatus is useful for providing a secure, easy to access and efficient storage facility for items such as hardware, jewelry, fishing tackle, knick-knacks, etc. and can be adapted to hold larger items. The storage apparatus is useful to organize and to control clutter in a given area. The storage apparatus has a bracket for attaching to a surface. The storage device has a gear assembly coupled to the bracket. The gear assembly is useful for rotating a plurality of shelves which has containers for storing items.

Abstract: A rotary tool box contains a base including a plurality of receiving portions for receiving plural tools and at least one accommodation room for holding at least one driving tool, at least one end of which extends out of the at least one accommodation room; a covering member covered on the base and including at least one orifice defined on a top surface thereof so as to take or place the at least one driving tool, the covering member also including at least one slot formed on an outer surface thereof so that the at least one end of the at least one driving tool extends out of the accommodation room and is engaged.

Abstract: A tray assembly includes an articulatable arm assembly coupled with a tray and selectively held in place by a locking mechanism (e.g., a locking gas spring). A release mechanism coupled with the tray selectively activates and deactivates the gas shock mechanism and is coaxial with and free rotating with respect to an axis of rotation of the tray. The tray may rotate between a horizontal position and a stored position substantially orthogonal to the horizontal position. The arm assembly may include at least one frictional hinge comprising a tapered pin, a tapered bushing in rotational frictional contact with the tapered pin, and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the tapered pin to provide adjustable contact force between the tapered pin and the tapered bushing.

Abstract: A storage apparatus and method involves a wheel storage assembly having adjustable pockets for storage therein of an article. The wheel storage assembly generally includes a pocket assembly and opposite wheel assemblies. The pocket assembly may include a core, at least two dividers installed in an offset relationship on the core, the dividers being configured to project substantially radially outwardly from the core to form a free end of each divider, and a clip mounted at the free end of each divider. A base assembly may be employed to rotatably support the wheel storage assembly. A hub of each wheel assembly may be formed with an outer, substantially rounded surface and with a tension belt installed on a base connector of the base assembly and looped around the rounded surface to control the rotational speed of the wheel storage assembly as mounted on the base assembly.

Abstract: A media handling device comprises a frame, a media tray, and a damper. The media tray is mountable to the frame for pivotal movement between a first position and a second position relative to the frame. The damper is disposed on the frame and configured for maintaining frictional engagement with the media tray.
