Convertible wall mountable cabinets including a spring assist opening and closing mechanism. The convertible wall mountable cabinet may comprise a housing configured to be mounted to a wall. A drop-down assembly may be pivotably coupled to the housing and movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The cabinet may further include a bracket assembly including a first portion coupled to the housing, a second portion coupled to the drop-down assembly, and a spring assembly configured to pivotably couple the first and second portions. The spring assembly may be configured store mechanical energy as the drop-down assembly is moved from the closed configuration to the open configuration.

Term end not estimated
The disclosure is directed to a wall mountable cabinet. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to a wall mountable cabinet having a zero gravity drop down table.
Wall mountable cabinets with drop down components save space by storing the drop-down component within or against the cabinet when not in use. However, the drop-down component may create a safety hazard as it is opened and closed, being heavy and/or difficult to open and close. What may be desirable is a wall mountable cabinet with improved safety and ease of operation.
The disclosure is directed to several alternative designs, materials and methods of manufacturing wall mountable structures and assemblies.
The invention may be more completely understood in consideration of the following detailed description of various embodiments in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an illustrative wall mountable cabinet in a closed configuration;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the illustrative wall mountable cabinet of FIG. 1 in an open configuration;
While the invention is amenable to various modifications and alternative forms, specifics thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the intention is not to limit aspects of the invention to the particular embodiments described. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.
For the following defined terms, these definitions shall be applied, unless a different definition is given in the claims or elsewhere in this specification.
All numeric values are herein assumed to be modified by the term “about”, whether or not explicitly indicated. The term “about” generally refers to a range of numbers that one of skill in the art would consider equivalent to the recited value (i.e., having the same function or result). In many instances, the term “about” may be indicative as including numbers that are rounded to the nearest significant figure.
