To overcome the drawbacks of the conventional cabinet an improved cabinet is provided to eliminate the drawbacks.

A main objective of the present invention is to provide a cabinet that has a duplex extension table adapted to provide a locating place for laptop and a writing place for taking notes, wherein the duplex extension table can be retracted into the cabinet to make the space usage flexible.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a cabinet that integrates accessories therein to have more facility in use.

To achieve the foregoing objectives, the cabinet comprises:

a hollow body with an open front and multiple compartments;

a sliding door covering at least one part of the open front;

multiple drawers respectively received in the multiple compartments;

wherein, improvement of the cabinet comprises:

a duplex extension table slidably received inside one of the multiple compartments and comprising a primary board and a secondary board retractable combined with each other.

By having the duplex extension table, the cabinet has two individual spaces for coordinate uses.

Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A cabinet in accordance with the present invention comprises a hollow body with an open front, multiple compartments defined within the body, multiple drawers and a duplex extension table received inside the compartment, and multiple optional accessories integrated with the body. Wherein, the duplex extension table is retractable received inside the body via the open front and composed of a primary board and a secondary board retractably combined with each other so as to provide two sectional spaces respectively for laptop and note or documents during working. Moreover, the accessories attached to the body selectively include wheel devices, a socket, a wire-reeling disk and at least one storing container to facilitate the cabinet.

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a preferred embodiment of the cabinet comprises a hollow body, multiple drawers, a duplex extension table and optional accessories.

The hollow body is a parallelepiped composed of a top board 1, two side boards 2, a bottom board 3 and further has four wheel devices 4 attached to the bottom board 3 outside the body to make the cabinet move easily and to lift the body from the ground. Each side board 2 has a hook 21 at its top end for suspension. Multiple compartments are defined inside the body and sequentially arranged with a sliding door 5, the duplex extension table 6 and three drawers 7, 8, 9. A socket assembly 10 is attached to a front face of the bottom board 3 and a wire-reeling disk 11 (see FIG. 5) is embedded inside the bottom board 3 for convenient electricity supply. Moreover, a storing container 12 is slidably mounted under the bottom board 2 to keep necessary wires or converters etc. when the wheel devices 4 are secured under the cabinet.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sliding door 5 is lifted up and pushed into the body to abut the top board 1 to open an upper portion of the cabinet. On the contrary, the sliding door 5 is pulled out of the body and lowered down to close the upper portion of the cabinet again. Two grooves 22 are respectively defined on outer faces of the two side boards 2 near the hooks 21 for conveniently driving the cabinet.

As shown in FIG. 3, after lifting the sliding door 5, a primary board 6 in the duplex extension table 6 is revealed.

The storing container 12 attached to the bottom board 3 is composed of a box 121, two rails 122, and multiple screws 123 and corresponding nuts 124. The two rails 121 are U-shaped and secured to the bottom board 3 with their openings facing each other by the screws 123 and nuts 124. The box 121 has two wings 1211 respectively engage the two rails 122 to make the box slide along the rails 122 for retracting operation. Moreover, a handle (not shown) or an access hole 1212 is defined in a front face of the box 121 for a user to hold the box 121 to pull or push easily.

As shown in FIG. 4, the duplex extension table 6 is located at a middle of the cabinet and composed of the primary board 61 and the secondary board 62. The primary board 61 is a solid plate and has two ball tracks 611 attached to its two sides abutting the side boards 2 of the body. Correspondingly, two ball rails 612 are respectively attached to inner faces of the two side boards 2 to match with the ball tracks 611 so that the primary board 61 enables to slide inward or outward the body (see FIG. 6). The secondary board 62 is also a solid plate smaller than the one of the primary board 61 and also has two ball rails 621 attached to two sides abutting two ball tracks 622 that are respectively and oppositely mounted on two sidewalls 623 attached under the primary board 61 (as shown in FIG. 7). Therefore, the secondary board 62 can be retracted to overlap and accommodated inside the body with the primary board 61. Preferably, the movement direction of the secondary board 62 to the primary board 61 is perpendicular to the one of the primary board 61 to the body. Additionally, the ball rails and the ball tracks can be substituted by other rail assemblies in modification.

When the duplex extension table operates, the sliding door 5 is open to allow the primary board 61 being pulled out. Then, the secondary board 62 is further extended from the primary board 61. If the user does not need many spaces for working, the secondary board 62 can be kept under the primary board 61.

As shown in FIG. 5, the socket assembly 10 attached to the front face of the bottom board 3 has a switch and multiple sockets for plugs. The storing container 12 is slidably attached under the bottom board 3 by means of the two trails 122. The wire-reeling disk 11 is attached within the body over the bottom board 3 near a rear corner and contains a wire (not numbered) retractably accommodated inside the wire-reeling disk 11 and extending out via the hole on the adjacent side board 2. In preferred operation, the wire connects between the socket on the wall and the socket assembly 10 on the bottom board to provide a convenient electricity supply.

By having the duplex extension table 6, the cabinet has two individual spaces for coordinate uses, for example, laptop operation and note writing at the same time. The accessories attached to the box provide more operational facility to the cabinet.

Although this invention has been described in its preferred form with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present invention of the preferred form has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts any be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
