ABSTRACT:
There is provided a viewing and storage system for a television (TV) set or the like including a cabinet having a pair of adjacent compartments. One said compartment is sized to receive the TV set and has a frontal door opening therein. This one compartment also has a fixed horizontal lower shelf therein and a rotating horizontal support shelf rotatable about a vertical axis. The rotatable shelf is located at a level above said lower shelf and in close juxtaposition thereto. The rotatable shelf is shaped such that when (A) rotated to a first extended position, a substantial portion thereof extends outwardly of said one compartment via said door opening for support of the TV set thereon with the remaining portion of the rotatable shelf overlying said lower shelf. Means are provided for counteracting vertical loadings applied to the outwardly extending portion of said rotatable shelf. The rotatable shelf also is shaped such that when (B) rotated to a second retracted position said rotatable shelf is disposed substantially entirely within said cabinet and extends from said one compartment into the other compartment.
