Estimating the term…
Rotatable article supporting plates with cabinet doors attached mounted on a rotatable central supporting shaft, the shaft being suspended, at least partially, from a mechanism for adjusting the vertical alignment of the doors relative to the cabinet door frame. The mechanism may be biased to maintain the doors in a preferred rotational position, e.g. a closed door position relative to the door frame. The preferred rotational position of the mechanism may also be adjusted to rotationally align the doors in their closed door position in the door frame. The mechanism includes a cam gear disposed in a housing which rotates on a sawtooth track in response to the adjustment of a threaded member to raise or lower the shaft and doors.
An adjustable alignment mechanism for a rotatable lazy susan assembly comprising:
In an improved rotatable lazy susan assembly of the type comprising a rotatable supporting shaft, at least one article supporting means connected to said shaft for movement therewith, and door means attached to said article supporting means for movement therewith, the improvement of which comprises cam gear means connectable to a frame containing said supporting means and shaft and connected to an upper end of said shaft for at least partially suspending said supporting means and shaft therefrom and for adjusting the vertical alignment of said supporting means and shaft relative to said frame.
