ABSTRACT:
An articulated door and door guiding track covers storage bays of a beverage body. The articulated door is formed by engaging a plurality of polymeric panel sections into a sequence such that each panel section can be positioned at varying angles with respect to an adjacent engaged panel section. Elastic shock cord runs from the bottom panel section to the top panel section of each articulated door. The shock cord prevents adjacent panel sections from moving laterally with respect to one another and holds the flat outer surface of each panel section flush with the flat outer surfaces of adjacent panel sections. The articulated door is guided between an open position and a closed position by a door guiding track comprised of a left channel facing a right channel across a door opening. The door is slidably positioned in the door guiding track by having a left end of each panel section extending into the left channel and a right end of each panel section extending into the right channel.
