  • Patent number: 6457278
    Abstract: Ingress and egress to closets and doorways through standard swinging doors requires that the area the door traverses be kept clear and is, therefore, space not usable for other purposes. The pivotal storage unit replaces doors with useful additional storage which occupies the full width and height of the door opening while permitting normal access through the doorway. The unit is mounted on hinges offset from the doorframe to permit full opening of the storage unit beyond 90°. The lower hinge incorporates a thrust bearing to support storage loads. A rolling support wheel on the base of the unit additionally supports the unit when heavily loaded. The unit can be formed in a variety of furniture configurations such as an armoire, computer work center, home entertainment center, pantry, desk, curio, vanity, etc. Two units can be used for double width doorways.
