Abstract

An assembly includes a housing, one or more telescoping brackets movably secured to the housing, and a door portion movably secured to the housing and the one or more telescoping brackets. A method for providing increased access to a storage compartment includes the steps of movably joining one or more telescoping brackets to a housing, movably joining a door portion to the one or more telescoping brackets and the housing, and moving the door portion to cause the one or more telescoping brackets to telescopingly project the door relative housing to provide access to a storage compartment.

Claims (18)

1. An assembly, comprising:

a housing having a first pair of sidewalls;

a telescoping bracket movably secured to the housing including a first arcuate channel and a passage;

a door portion movably secured to the housing including a second arcuate channel;

a first pin extending from one of said first sidewalls of the housing, wherein the first pin extends into the first arcuate channel; and

a second pin extending from said one sidewall of the housing, wherein the second pin extends through the passage of the telescoping bracket and into the second channel.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a first end wall and said first pair of sidewalls extending from the first end wall to define a volume, wherein the door portion includes a second end wall and a second pair of sidewalls extending from the second end wall to define a sub-volume that is less than but approximately equal to the volume of the housing.

3. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the telescoping bracket and second pair of sidewalls include a substantially similar geometry to that of the first pair of sidewalls of the housing to permit the telescoping bracket and door portion to be received by and nested within the volume defined by the housing.

4. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the door portion includes a bottom wall and a front wall, and wherein the end wall, second pair of sidewalls, bottom wall, and front wall further define a storage compartment, and further wherein the front wall, end wall and second pair of sidewalls define an opening to the storage compartment.

5. An assembly, comprising:

a housing having a first pair of sidewalls;

a door portion movably secured to the housing, the door portion defining a first arcuate channel; and

means for telescopingly adjusting a positioning of the door portion relative a position of the housing including one or more telescoping brackets that are movably secured to the housing, wherein at least one of the one or more telescoping brackets includes a second arcuate channel and a passage, and wherein the door portion is movably secured to the housing and the one or more telescoping brackets;

a first pin extending from one or both of the pair of sidewalls of the housing, wherein the first pin extends through the first arcuate channel of the one or more telescoping brackets; and

a second pin extending from one or both of the pair of sidewalls of the housing, wherein the second pin extends through the passage of the one or more telescoping brackets and the second arcuate channel of the door portion.

6. The assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the housing includes a first end wall and said first pair of sidewalls extending from the first end wall to define a volume, and wherein the door portion includes a second end wall and a second pair of sidewalls extending from the second end wall to define a sub-volume that is less than but approximately equal to the volume.

7. The assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more telescoping brackets and second pair of sidewalls of the door portion define a substantially similar geometry to that of the first pair of sidewalls of the housing to permit the one or more telescoping brackets and door portion to be received by and nested within the volume defined by the housing.

8. The assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the door portion includes a bottom wall and a front wall, and wherein the end wall, second pair of sidewalls, bottom wall, and front wall further define a storage compartment, and further wherein the front wall, end wall and second pair of sidewalls define an opening to the storage compartment.
