  • Publication number: 20130257236
    Abstract: Furniture, namely a footboard for a bed, including a means for concealing a display stand and an object affixed thereto, such as a television. The footboard includes a stationary frame and a slidable frame that is affixed to the display stand and vertically slides with respect to the stationary frame. The footboard conceals the display stand when in a descended position. When a user lifts the display stand to an ascended position, the display stand and the television are substantially exposed for viewing. Controlled sliding with the appropriate tension is provided by use of a counterbalance system in combination with a sliding track system.

    Abstract: Furniture including a means for concealing a display stand and an object affixed thereto, such as a television. The furniture includes an upper housing and a lower housing, such as a dresser-hutch combination. A panel, such as a framed mirror that is part of the upper housing, conceals the display stand when in an ascended position.

  • Patent number: 7458689
    Abstract: A display stand is camouflaged as ordinary furniture, such as a dresser with mirror combination for the bedroom or as an armoire. The stand conceals another object, such as a television display, when one doesn't wish to observe that object, but otherwise exposes the object to view. Supported in a stationary position at least a vertically positionable opaque mirror or panel located directly in front of the television display when the television is not in use prevents the display from being viewed. The mirror or panel is supported by an electric elevator platform or lift inside the furniture, which, at the viewers option, is selectively vertically moved by the lift to a full up position that blocks a view of the stationary object or to a full down position inside the dresser that uncovers the object.
