Patent attributes
The multi-wheel shelving assembly is a gearing system with a central drive gear, multiple planetary-gears, and a third layer of orbiting gears that each have a horizontal shelf attached and which remains level even as respective gears revolve. The shelf-orbiting gears and the planetary gears are radially arranged along concentric circumferential paths and connected to the central drive gear through complementary rotational movements and complementary gear teeth. The multi-wheel shelving assembly includes a framework having a faceplate coupled to the drive gear, an outer peripheral frame member pivotally coupled to the outer layer of orbiting gears and spokes connecting the peripheral outer frame member and faceplate and to which the plurality of planetary gears is pitifully attached. The peripheral outer frame member and, therefore, the plurality of orbiting gears are rotatably coupled to a hub whereas the drive gear is fixed in space.
