Patent number: 12030574Abstract: A system for storing bicycles includes an elongate supporting member and carriages. Each carriage has a body supported on and that can travel along the supporting member and a carrier component that extends downwardly from the body, suspending a bicycle. The carrier component rotates with respect to the body about an approximately vertical carrier axis. The carrying component moves vertically between a lower free position and an upper braking position. In the free position, the carrying component can rotate about the carrier axis and the body can travel along the supporting member. The braking position inhibits carrier rotation or body travel. Each carriage has a spring urging the carrying component towards the braking position, and against which the carrying component can be displaced to the free position by weight on the carrying component. The connection between the carrying component and the body allows tilting of the carrier axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2022Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: STASHED PRODUCTS LTDInventor: Elliot James Tanner

An outer casing has first and second walls in a parallel relationship with the opposing side walls of the inner casing. The first wall of the outer casing forms a notch configured to receive the one of the opposing support portions of the roller and defining a second interior surface. The outer casing is positioned with respect to the inner casing such that the one of the opposing support portions is cooperatively retained in place by a portion of the first interior surface and a portion of the second interior surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2013Publication date: October 16, 2014Inventor: Steven C.

Patent number: 8820547Abstract: Provided is a movable rack unit for taking in and out a storage object with respect to a storage space. The movable rack unit includes a guide part including a track member linearly laid inside the storage space and along a depth direction of the storage space and a moving body that moves along the track member. A support member is rotatably borne on the moving body, and the support member supports the storage object within the storage space. Further, this unit includes a rotation guiding part, and the rotation guiding part changes the attitude of the support member in accordance with the position of the moving body with respect to the track member. When the moving member reaches an opening portion side of the storage space, the rotation guiding part rotates the support member so that merely the support member is set outside the storage space.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2013Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: THK Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuya Hayashida, Eiji Hosaka
