Abstract
A cabinet with sliding doors includes tracks for supporting said doors and track shifting members for shifting the doors between two positions. In one position the doors are disposed adjacent a cabinet frame defining an opening, said doors sealing said opening. In another position of the tracks the doors are spaced away from the frame and each other so that they can slide at will to allow objects to be inserted or withdrawn from the cabinet. A handle may be used to shift the tracks back and forth. The doors may be transparent to permit the cabinet to be used for displaying as well as storing articles.

A sliding door arrangement comprising:
- frame means;
- first and second tracks;
- mounting means for mounting said first and second tracks on said frame means, said mounting means being arranged and constructed to allow movement of said tracks in a direction perpendicular to said tracks;
- a first door slidably mounted on said first track;
- a second door slidably mounted on said second track;
- and
- a handle mounted on said frame and movable between a first handle position and a second handle position;
- shifting means coupled to said handle for shifting in response to movement of said handle between said handle positions at least one of said tracks between a first track position wherein said doors are sealed against said frame means and a second track position wherein said doors are offset thereby permitting said at least of said doors to slide in a respective track.
A storage cabinet comprising:
- an enclosure with frame means defining an enclosure opening;
- a movable handle mounted on said enclosure;
- first track means disposed adjacent to said frame means;
- a first door slidably mounted on said first track means and covering said enclosure opening;
- and
- track shifting means coupled to said handle for shifting said first track means in response to movement by said handle between a first position in which said first door is positioned against said frame means to seal said opening and a second position in which said first door is displaced from said frame.
A storage cabinet comprising:
- an enclosure with frame means defining a rectangular enclosure opening having a top and a bottom;
- track means including a first lower track disposed adjacent to said bottom and a first upper track disposed adjacent to said top;
- a handle movably mounted on said enclosure;
- a first door slidably mounted between said first tracks and covering said enclosure;
- and
- track shifting means coupled to said handle for shifting said tracks responsive to movement of said handle in a direction perpendicular to said first door between a first position wherein said door is disposed against said frame for sealing said opening, and a second position wherein said door is away from said frame.
