ABSTRACT:
An assembly for storing clothing or other articles is provided, especially adapted for use in nursing homes or the like by non-ambulatory residents. First and second wall panels are mounted to each other so that they are perpendicular. A storage structure defined by a right triangular prism is provided including a plurality of walls defining a storage area therebetween with the front wall having an access opening. A tambour door is slidable on a pair of tracks to selectively block and unblock the access opening in the storage structure. The storage structure is mounted to the wall panel so that the tambour door tracks are disposed in horizontal planes vertically spaced from each other, and so that the storage structure is spaced from the ground, along the entire extent thereof, a distance corresponding to the height of a toeboard of a wheelchair off of the ground. A generally U-shaped handle is disposed along the entire length of the tambour door with both legs of the U extending outwardly from the storage structure, facilitating use by non-ambulatory and arthritic persons.
