Abstract
A clothes storing cabinet is adapted to hold soiled clothes preparatory to washing. The cabinet includes a body forming a plurality of chambers. The body forms a filling opening and a discharge opening for each chamber. The body is movable up and down between a lower clothes-loading position, and a raised clothes-discharging position. This movement can be achieved by sliding the body up and down along a vertical path, or, swinging the body by ninety degrees about a horizontal axis. When the body is in a raised clothes-discharging position, closures attached to the body can be swung open to enable clothes to gravitate from the respective chambers.

A clothes storing cabinet adapted to hold soiled clothes preparatory to washing, comprising:
- a body forming a plurality of chambers disposed alongside one another, the body including filling openings communicating with respective chambers for enabling soiled clothes to be loaded into selected chambers;
- and
- a plurality of closures attached to the body beneath undersides of respective chambers, each closure arranged to be swung downwardly from a closed position to an open position to permit unloading of clothes from the respective chamber;
- the body, together with the chambers, being mounted for up-and-down sliding movement between a lowered clothes-loading position and a raised clothes-discharging position;
- the body defining an upper portion when in its clothes-loading position, and the filling openings being disposed in that upper portion;
- the body defining a lower portion when in its clothes-discharging position, with the closures arranged on that lower portion;
- the clothes-discharging position of the body being superimposed over the clothes-loading position of the body;
- each of the closures arranged to underlie substantially the entire underside of its respective chamber and mounted for swinging movement about a substantially horizontal axis disposed adjacent a rear portion of the body, wherein substantially the entire underside is uncovered when the closure is in its open position.
