ABSTRACT:
A cabinet door in its closed position depends from the cabinet top wall and is coupled to a follower slidably engaging a longitudinal track on the top wall underface so that the door may be swung upwardly open and retracted into the cabinet. The follower and track have longitudinal races embracing retainer holding balls. The coupling mechanism includes an anchor on the door having transversely spaced first and second hinge pins and a bracket on the follower having third, fourth and fifth transversely spaced hinge pins and links extending between the first and third and second and fourth hinge pins and a leaf spring extending between the second and fifth hinge pins so that the door is swingable between a closed position perpendicular to the top wall and an open position parallel to and below the top wall and when approaching closed position is spring urged to close. Alternatively, the track and anchor positions are reversed so that the door in its open position overlies the top wall.
