ABSTRACT:
A kitchen cabinet is disclosed which includes a pivot support for supporting a plurality of kitchen cabinet shelves so that the shelves may pivot about a horizontal axis outwardly and downwardly toward the user to an access position for gaining access to the shelves. The shelves are returned to the storage position by pivoting the shelves back up into the storage position. A pivotable and foldable door having upper and lower panels is pivotably supported from the ceiling. The door is actuated by means of mechanical linkages interconnecting the shelving and the door. As the shelving is pivoted from the storage position into the access position, the door, which covers the front side of the shelving, is pivoted upwardly and away from the shelving to permit access thereto. The lower section of the door includes a linkage for folding the lower panel up toward the underside of the upper panel. A shelf stabilizing linkage is provided which maintains the shelving in the horizontal position while it pivots between the storage and access positions. The kitchen cabinet is readily hung from a vertical wall by means of a horizontal mounting bar affixed to the studs thereof. Hangers serve to hang the pivotable support for the shelving from the mounting bar. The pivotable support for the door structure is affixed to the ceiling.
