Abstract

A cabinet 10 having at least one door 32 which may be selectively and removably placed within the generally hollow storage compartment 14 of the cabinet 10 and which may be also moved outside of the compartment 14 and allowed to selectively articulate along movement arc 120 and to be selectively placed in a closed position in which the at least one door 32 overlays the storage cavity or compartment 14.

Claims (5)

1. A cabinet comprising a hollow body including a flat top member; a flat back member; a flat bottom member; and a pair of flat side members which cooperatively form a hollow interior cavity; a pair of substantially identical rails which are in a linearly coextensive relationship and wherein a first of said pair of substantially identical rails is coupled to a first of said pair of flat side members and is linearly coextensive to each of said flat top and said flat bottom members, and wherein a second of said pair of substantially identical rails is coupled to said first of said pair of said flat side members and is linearly coextensive to said each of said flat top and said flat bottom members and wherein said pair of substantially identical rails respectively reside upon respective and unique ends of said first of said pair of flat side members; a bar having first, second, and third flat body surfaces which cooperatively form a trench and which is linearly coextensive to said each of said first, second, and third flat body surfaces; a first pair of wheels which are attached to a first end of said first flat body surface and which movably reside within a first of said pair of substantially identical rails; a second pair of wheels which are attached to a second end of said first flat body surface and which movably reside within a second of said pair of substantial identical rails, whereby said first and said second pair of wheels cooperatively allow said bar to selectively and reciprocally move along and within said pair of substantially identical rails and wherein said first flat body surface includes a first channel proximate to said first pair of wheels and a second channel proximate to said second pair of wheels; a first hinge which is coupled to a first end of said second flat body surface; a second hinge which is coupled to a second end of said second flat body surface and wherein said second flat body surface is parallel to said first flat body surface; a first pivot member having a first end which is movably disposed within said second channel and a second end which is pivotally coupled to said flat back member; a second pivot member having a first end which is pivotally coupled to the middle of said first pivot member and a second end which is coupled to said first flat body surface; and a door which is coupled to said first and to said second hinges, whereby said first and second pivot members cooperate with said pair of substantially identical rails and said first and said second pair of wheels to selectively allow said door to be selectively and wholly placed within said hollow interior cavity and to be movable from said position within said hollow interior cavity to a position wholly outside of said hollow interior cavity, and wherein said first and second hinges cooperatively allow said door, when said door is selectively and wholly placed outside of said interior cavity, to move in an arc about said body.

2. The cabinet of claim 1 wherein said second pivot member is shorter than said first pivot member.

3. The cabinet of claim 1 further comprising a second door.

4. The cabinet of claim 1 further comprising at least one shelf which is deployed within said hollow interior cavity.

5. The cabinet of claim 1 further comprising a U-shaped bracket which is deployed upon said flat back member and which is coupled to said first pivot member.
