Abstract
A cabinet lifting assembly for lifting overhead cabinets for installation includes a scissor lift that is positionable between a lifted position and a lowered position. The scissor lift includes a base, a top, a pair of scissors and a screw extending between the scissors. A fitting is coupled to the screw to be engaged by a chuck on a drill thereby facilitating the screw to be rotated in the first direction or the second direction. A panel is coupled to the top of the scissor lift. A support is coupled to the panel such to have an overhead cabinet positioned thereon thereby facilitating the scissor lift to lift and lower the overhead cabinet for installation.

A cabinet lifting assembly being configured to lift overhead cabinets into position for installation, said assembly comprising:
- a scissor lift being positionable between a lifted position and a lowered position, said scissor lift including a base, a top, a pair of scissors and a screw extending between said scissors;
- a fitting being coupled to said screw wherein said fitting is configured to be engaged by a chuck on a drill thereby facilitating said screw to be rotated in said first direction or said second direction;
- a panel being coupled to said top of said scissor lift;
- and
- a support being coupled to said panel such that said support is oriented to lie on a horizontal plane wherein said support is configured to have an overhead cabinet positioned thereon thereby facilitating said scissor lift to lift and lower the overhead cabinet for installation.
A cabinet lifting assembly being configured to lift overhead cabinets into position for installation, said assembly comprising:
- a scissor lift being positionable between a lifted position and a lowered position, said scissor lift including a base, a top, a pair of scissors and a screw extending between said scissors, each of said scissors extending between said base and said top, said screw being rotatable in a first direction to urge said scissor lift into said lifted position having said top being spaced a maximum distance from said base, said screw being rotatable in a second direction to urge said scissor lift into said lowered position having said top being spaced a minimum distance from said base, said screw having an exposed end with respect to said scissor lift, said base being positionable on a support surface having said scissor lift extending upwardly from the support surface;
- a fitting being coupled to said screw, said fitting being positioned on said exposed end of said screw, said fitting having an outer surface, said outer surface having a plurality of intersecting sides such that said fitting has a hexagonal shape wherein said fitting is configured to be engaged by a chuck on a drill thereby facilitating said screw to be rotated in said first direction or said second direction;
- a panel being coupled to said top of said scissor lift, said panel having a top surface and a bottom surface, said bottom surface resting on said top of said scissor lift, said panel having a plurality of apertures each extending through said top surface and said bottom surface;
- a support being coupled to said panel such that said support is oriented to lie on a horizontal plane wherein said support is configured to have an overhead cabinet positioned thereon thereby facilitating said scissor lift to lift and lower the overhead cabinet for installation, said support having a lower surface, an upper surface and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said perimeter edge having a first lateral side and a second lateral side, said support having a pair of tabs each extending downwardly from said lower surface, each of said tabs being aligned with a respective one of said first lateral side and said second lateral side of said perimeter edge wherein each of said tabs is configured to be gripped for positioning said scissor lift and the overhead cabinet, said lower surface of said support resting on said top surface of said panel having said panel being centrally positioned on said lower surface;
- and
- a plurality of fasteners, each of said fasteners being extendable through a respective one of said apertures in said panel and engaging said support for retaining said support on said panel.
