ABSTRACT:
A pivotally mounted, stowable galley which may include a sink, a stove, storage and work areas, the galley having a "down" storage position flush with a vertical surface to which it is attached and an "up" operational position substantially perpendicular to the vertical surface. The galley includes an elongated but relatively thin (in height) rectangular box which houses a sink, a stove (if desired), and storage areas and a double hinged counter top which serves as the galley box closure or lid. The galley is mountable on a boat gunnel overhang and vertical or horizontal wall surfaces and is intended for use in confined areas where space is at a premium, such as in boats, recreational vehicles and the like. When not in use, the galley pivots downwardly increasing available space and occupying very little space when stowed. When in use, complete galley facilities are provided including a sink, a stove, storage areas and adequate counter space. The galley box includes a pair of separate counter top surfaces hinged together which are moveable between a closed position and a box overhang position for extra counter-top space. Since the height of the galley box is relatively smaller than the width (viewed horizontally), less surrounding space is utilized in the storage position.
