Abstract
A door mounting assembly for a hollow cabinet utilizes a pair of vertically inclined elongated scissor members pivotally secured together at aligned centers lying in a place adjacent one side wall of the cabinet. The members are movable between a first compressed position and a second expanded position. Upper and lower horizontal guides are secured to the inner surfaces of the top and bottom of the cabinet. A vertical elongated third member is selectively secured both pivotally and slidably to the scissor members and is disposed in the guides. An end of one of the scissor members is pivotally secured to and is vertically slidable in a vertical support fixed in position in the cabinet.

An assembly for a cabinet having a front vertical wall with an opening therein, a rear vertical wall, opposite vertical side walls disposed between said connecting the front and rear wall, a horizontal top and a horizontal bottom interconnected by the front side and rear walls, and a hollow interior, the top and bottom having exposed inner surfaces, the assembly being employed to mount a door in the opening and comprising:
- first and second vertically inclined elongated scissor members, each member having a center, the centers being aligned, the members being pivotally secured to each other at their aligned centers and lying in a vertical plane, the first member having first and second opposite ends, the second member having third and fourth opposite ends, the scissor members being disposed in said interior and being movable between a compressed first position and an expanded second position;
- a vertical elongated third member disposed in the interior, said third member having a central section connected at one end to a head piece and at the opposite end to a base piece, the first end being pivotally secured and vertically slidable with respect to the central section, the fourth end being pivotally secured to the base piece, each of the head and base pieces having a separate groove, these grooves being laterally displaced with respect to the central section;
- upper and lower individual guides secured to the inner surfaces of the top and bottom respectively, the upper guide projecting into the groove of the head piece and being enveloped thereby, the lower guide projecting into the groove of the base piece and being enveloped thereby, the guides being secured to the inner surfaces at positions accessible from the front opening;
- a vertical support fixed in position to the rear wall in the cabinet interior, the third end being pivotally secured to and vertically slidable in the support, the second end being pivotally secured to the rear wall.
The assembly of claim I wherein the cabinet has a door connected by hinges to the central section of the third member.
