ABSTRACT:
A utility cart including a housing portion having a cabinet and a storage compartment disposed above the cabinet. A cover member is slidably mounted to the housing for movement between a first or closed position, in which the cover member is disposed above the storage compartment and substantially encloses the storage compartment, and a second or open position, in which the cover member is disposed in a cantilevered orientation with respect to the housing, such that the storage compartment is substantially exposed. A peripheral device, such as a projector, for example, may be stored within the storage compartment, such that the peripheral device is enclosed within the cart when the cover member is in its first position and is accessible when the cover member is in its second position. Additionally, the housing of the cart may include an electrical terminal incorporated therein for providing electrical power to the peripheral device.
