Abstract
The storage cabinet comprises a plurality of superposed storage compartments pivoting about horizontal axes to pass from an open position to a closed position, and vice-versa. Each compartment is in the shape of a trough with a bottom part constituted by a portion of cylinder and two lateral end walls. Each trough is provided at its rear part with a tongue piece which extends inwardly substantially perpendicularly to the bottom wall of the trough and ensures, in the trough closed position, a continuity with the bottom wall of the lower adjacent trough, so that in the closed position, each trough is entirely closed.
Claims14
A storage cabinet with multiple storage compartments comprising a support frame holding a plurality of storage compartments, said storage compartments are distributed in at least two superposed rows, each of said storage compartments is adapted to pivot about parallel horizontal axes mounted in the support frame, each of said storage compartments is shaped as a trough having two lateral end walls and a bottom wall, said bottom wall is defined by a portion of cylinder and has a first rear part, a second main part, and a third front part, said third front part having a free end, said bottom wall having an external side and an internal side, each of said storage compartments is adapted to present a first closed position and a second open position, each of said storage compartments is provided with a tongue member, said tongue member is attached to said external side of said bottom wall and extends outwardly substantially perpendicular to said bottom wall, said tongue member is adapted to come into a position adjacent to the free rear end of the first rear part of the bottom wall of a lower adjacent storage compartment when said storage compartments are in said first closed position, said external side of said bottom wall is adapted to come into a position adjacent to the free end of the third front part of a lower adjacent storage compartment when said storage compartments are in said first closed position whereby each of said storage compartments is entirely closed.
