ABSTRACT:
A utility bin for enclosure in structures such as furniture, cabinets, and closets for storage of such objects as magazines, newspapers, books, wearing apparel and linen. As storage for wearing apparel and linen, forward and rear pivot arms on each end of the bin control the movement of both the upper and the lower area of the bin outward to a tilted position. As storage for magazines, newspapers, and books, the bin also has an automatically positioned panel for support of upright placed contents. Rollers attached to the support panel contact a downward sloping rear to front surface such as the bottom to effect movement forward for contact with the contents of the bin when the bin is placed in home position. Flexible retainers such as chains attached to the rear of the support panel and to the rear of the enclosure structure retain the upright support panel to the rear when the bin is moved outward allowing unobstructed access to the contents of the bin.
