Abstract
A linearly actuated bar cabinet has display stand rotatably connected atop a base where liquor bottles or other items may be placed. A linear actuation mechanism uses a motor housed within the base to turn a lead screw which traverses from within the base, centrally through the display stand, and is threadedly engaged with an internal threading connected to a housing. As the motor actuates the lead screw, the internal threading traverses along the lead screw, thus moving the housing toward or away from the base between a closed configuration, wherein the housing encloses the display stand, and an opened configuration, wherein the display stand is exposed. A lighting platform may further be positioned above the display stand for aesthetic purposes.

A linearly actuated bar cabinet comprises:
- a base;
- a display stand;
- a housing;
- a linear actuation mechanism;
- a central axis;
- the display stand being rotatably connected atop the base about the central axis;
- the housing being concentrically positioned with the central axis;
