Definitions

  • the present invention teaches certain benefits in construction and use which give rise to the objectives described below.
  • the invention is generally used for kitchen cabinets, dishwashers and the like.
  • the invention is an appliance lifting system that raises a lower shelf or under-counter cabinet up to the counter level with the intention of making it easy for a user to load and unload the shelf, or in the case of a dishwasher, a basket
  • the system is directed to the lower shelves of cabinets or generally, shelves that require a user to bend or stoop down to load or unload.
  • the system comprises two set of elongated levers or arms, each set arranged in a parallelogram configuration fastened on one end to a cabinet sidewall and on the other end to the lower cabinet shelf or basket.
  • the arms in each set are connected to one another by a combination of pivot pins and pin and slot sliding connections in the primary embodiment.
  • the system operates in two phase motion.
  • the system linearly and horizontally slides the shelf out of the cabinet.
  • the system raises the shelf in an arcuate motion out and upwards to counter level.
  • the operation of the system may be by manual pushing or pulling of the shelf with spring assist, or by motor driven arms that accomplish the intended motion automatically. The later approach is considered to be the preferred embodiment and will be described in detail below.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide an automated system to raise a lower shelf or basket to counter level for ease of loading or unloading articles therein.
  • Figure 7 is a partial perspective view of the lifting mechanism shown in Fig. 5; and Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of an alternate lifting arm arrangement of the invention using springs to assist shelf or basket movement and drawer slides for extension and retraction of the shelf or basket.
  • a pair of lifting arms 30 and 32 Pivotally engaged at their proximal ends, with each of the side walls Yl and 14, is a pair of lifting arms 30 and 32, and these arms are positioned for rotation about the pivotal joints at their proximal ends, adjacent to their respective interior wall surfaces 15, i.e., moving in planes parallel with the wall surfaces 15.
  • the lifting arms 30 and 32 are rotatable between a downwardly and rearwardly directed position 40 within the cabinet 10 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and a forwardly directed position 45 extensive of the frontal area 20, as shown in Fig, 3.
  • each of the arms 30' and 32' function nearly identically to arms 30, 32, but further comprise a pair of arm segments 34 and 36.
  • the arm segments are telescopicaliy joined for axial extension and retraction as the basket 70 moves between positions 40 and 50, as previously described.
  • the arms 30' and 32' preferably further comprise an extension spring 39, as shown, positioned for urging arm segments 36 to extend from arm segments 34 so that the basket 70 is forced to maintain its lowest position as it is extended (pulled out) from its initial position 40.
  • the basket 70 is fully extended from the cabinet 10 (position 45), and is ready to be raised to position 50.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une armoire possédant des parois latérales opposées et une zone frontale ouvrable qui est dotée d'une paire de bras accouplée pivotante à chaque paroi latérale. Les bras peuvent être tournés entre une position dirigée vers le bas et l'arrière à l'intérieur de l'armoire afin de ranger une étagère ou un panier fixé audits bras, et une position dirigée vers l'avant qui s'étend par rapport à la zone frontale afin d'exposer l'étagère ou le panier. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, chaque paire de bras est accouplée à une plaque de guidage fixée sur un côté d'un panier, le panier pouvant ainsi se déplacer entre une position rétractée à l'intérieur de l'armoire et une position étendue et levée vers l'avant. Ce mouvement est facilité par un actionneur linéaire entraîné par un moteur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les bras sont dotés de ressorts, et dans un mode de réalisation complémentaire, les bras sont raccordés avec une glissière à traction linéaire.
