Abstract
A vanity fold-out organizer includes an organizer body and a first tray including a storage compartment positioned above the organizer body. A second tray is positioned above the first tray. A plurality of links couples the trays to the organizer body and/or lower trays to allow pivotable movement relative to the base between a tray open position and a tray closed position. The organizer body is disposed for sliding movement from a retracted position to an extended position relative to the vanity. The tray open position is available when the organizer body is in the extended position. The organizer body is disposed partly beneath a plumbing assembly including a plumbing trap and the first and second trays are sized to fit beside the plumbing assembly in the tray closed position when the organizer body is in the retracted position.

A fold-out organizer for a vanity comprising:
- an organizer body;
- a first tray including a first storage compartment positioned above the organizer body;
- a first link coupling the first tray to the organizer body such that the first tray is pivotably moveable relative to the organizer body between a tray open position and a tray closed position;
- a second tray including a second storage compartment positioned above the first tray;
- a second link coupling the second tray to the organizer body and a third link coupling the second tray to the first tray such that the second tray is pivotably moveable relative to the first tray and the organizer body between the tray open position and the tray closed position;
- a support configured to permit sliding movement of the organizer body from a retracted position to an extended position relative to the vanity, wherein the tray open position is available when the organizer body is in the extended position;
- the organizer body is disposed in a lower portion of the vanity partly beneath a plumbing assembly including a plumbing trap, and the first and second trays are sized to fit within the vanity on either side of the plumbing assembly in the tray closed position when the organizer body is in the retracted position;
- and wherein the second storage compartment comprises an upwardly open top and is free of any overlying cover in the tray-closed position, such that a user can access items stored therein when the organizer body is retracted within the vanity and the trays are in the tray-closed position, and also when in the tray-open position.
A vanity comprising:
- a structural frame;
- a counter positioned on top of the structural frame;
- a basin disposed within the counter;
- a pair of hinged doors at a front of the structural frame providing access to an interior of the vanity;
- a shelf positioned within the interior of the vanity;
- a support disposed on the shelf;
- a fold-out organizer disposed on the support comprising:
- an organizer body;
- a first tray including a first storage compartment positioned above the organizer body;
- a first link coupling the first tray to the organizer body such that the first tray is pivotably moveable relative to the organizer body between a tray open position and a tray closed position;
- a second tray including a second storage compartment positioned above the first tray;
- a second link coupling the second tray to the organizer body and a third link coupling the second tray to the first tray such that the second tray is pivotably moveable relative to the first tray and the organizer body between the tray open position and the tray closed position;
- the support for moving the organizer body from a retracted position to an extended position relative to the vanity, wherein the tray open position is available when the organizer body is in the extended position;
- the organizer body is disposed in a lower portion of the vanity partly beneath a plumbing assembly including a plumbing trap, and the first and second trays are sized to fit within the vanity on either side of the plumbing assembly in the tray closed position when the organizer body is in the retracted position;
- and wherein the second storage compartment comprises an upwardly open top and is free of any overlying cover in the tray-closed position, such that a user can access items stored therein when the organizer body is retracted within the vanity and the trays are in the tray-closed position, and also when in the tray-open position.
A double vanity comprising:
- a structural frame;
- a counter positioned on top of the structural frame;
- two basins disposed within the counter;
- at least one drawer at a front of the structural frame providing access to an interior of the vanity;
- a pair of fold-out organizers disposed in the drawer, each comprising:
- an organizer body;
- a first tray including a first storage compartment positioned above the organizer body;
- a first link coupling the first tray to the organizer body such that the first tray is pivotably moveable relative to the organizer body between a tray open position and a tray closed position;
- a second tray including a second storage compartment positioned above the first tray;
- a second link coupling the second tray to the organizer body and a third link coupling the second tray to the first tray such that the second tray is pivotably moveable relative to the first tray and the organizer body between the tray open position and the tray closed position;
- the drawer configured to permit sliding movement of the organizer body from a retracted position to an extended position relative to the vanity, wherein the tray open position is available when the organizer body is in the extended position;
- the pair are arranged on either side of the drawer and the first, second, and third links of each organizer body are oriented to pivotably rotate away from the opposing organizer body for pivotable movement to the tray open position;
- and wherein the second storage compartment comprises an upwardly open top and is free of any overlying cover in the tray-closed position, such that a user can access items stored therein when the organizer body is retracted within the vanity and the trays are in the tray-closed position, and also when in the tray-open position.
