Business Editors

VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 2000

Looking for a way to conceal your client's television set or perhaps even a safe, exhibit or collection behind a favorite painting?

Then look no further! In celebration of their 45th year in business, Auton Motorized Systems has designed yet another first in the field of home-automation: the new INVIS-O-TRAK system. Specifically designed with today's modern home in mind, the INVIS-O-TRAK enables you to keep your television or precious collectibles out of site when not in use, all at the touch of a button, thanks to its wireless remote operation. Durably built to withstand the test of time, this new system features a rack and pinion design made of welded steel construction, without any breakable plastic or aluminum parts or pop rivets that can loosen or come out over time.

No special wiring is required; the lift operates from a 120V AC/60HZ outlet, and the unit is shipped completely assembled for easy installation. Features include: a manual override switch in case of a lost or damaged remote; adjustable limit switches to control the stopping point of the lift; an electronic box that can be mounted away from the unit for easy serviceability; and gear guards to prevent objects or wiring from getting caught between the gears and tracks. Built to hold a maximum load of 50 pounds, this model's standard dimensions are 56"W x 30.5"H x 6"D, though custom sizes are available.

Auton Motorized Systems of Valencia, Calif., is the world's first and largest manufacturer of motorized television lifts. Since its inception in 1955, Auton has been providing motorized lift systems for architects, designers, and fine furniture makers, opening up a whole new array of design options! Auton lift systems are installed throughout the world in fine homes, offices, hotels, yachts and aircraft, just to name a few examples. Most popular for its use in motorized furniture, other uses include: ceiling pop-down televisions and projectors; motorized screens; pop-up liquor cabinets; variable height coffee tables; pop-up displays and collections; and lift panels.

In the kitchen, Auton has motorized pop-up spice racks, oven hoods and a "smart waiter," which brings up the groceries from the downstairs garage. Unlike the old fashioned "scissor-type" lifts, Auton's specially designed lifts eliminate wobble and can easily lift uneven loads. To assure the quality of the company's systems, all of Auton's lifts are made in the United States and are backed by a one-year warranty.
