ABSTRACT:
A cabinet is disclosed which is generally rectangular and may have a plurality of drawers therein. A top section, however, may be lifted and rotated outwardly to form a drawing board which is angularly adjustable and includes sufficient knee room to permit an artist to comfortably sit at the drawing board. The drawing board is mounted on a U-shaped support disposed within the cabinet and is hingedly attached to the forward edge thereof. The support forms J-slots in opposed legs of the U. The cabinet frame supports outstanding walls received within the U which mount rollers adapted to ride in the J-slots. The drawing board portion of the top then with the attached U-shaped member is lifted upwardly and outwardly as the rollers travel along the J-slots to lock in an upright position for use. A slotted brace also is provided with a locknut connecting the rear portion of the board with the legs of the U so that the rear portion of the board may be elevated to provide the desired sloping surface. In the upright position the base of the U-shaped member locks against the front inside wall of the cabinet to stabilize the drawing surface.
