ABSTRACT:
A retractable basket carrier with chain and sprocket mechanism or travel bar mechanism. A mechanism is provided in the alcove of a desk or similar space in a cabinet to move a carrier from an inner hidden position to an extended position which accesses a wastepaper basket or similar item carried by or depending from the carrier. The mechanism may be installed on either side of the opening in the desk for left or right hand operation and is easily placed in position in the desk with a mounting bracket. An actuator mechanism is installed at the front of the desk for extending the carrier by swing arm movement and to provide a stop for the rearward movement of the carrier. Either a ball chain mechanism or a travel arm with hubs is used to move the carrier. A wastebasket or other item may be supported from the carrier by a universal joint and is moved between the extended and inward positions with only a slight amount of force upon the actuating mechanism. The orientation of the container remains constant relative to the desk throughout the rotation of the support arm connected to the carrier.
