  • Patent number: 5494346
    Abstract: An adjustable shelf assembly wherein a vertical post rotatably mounted in a cabinet supports a plurality of rotatable shelves which carry the cabinet door. To enable the post and the door to be adjusted vertically, a lower bearing element has a slide member affixed to and rotatably movable with the post and having a downwardly inclined ramp on its upper end. A pivotally secured bearing member is positioned within and pivotally secured to the post and, when experiencing pivotal movement, moves back and forth relative to the inclined ramp. A screw is threadably received by the bearing member within the post and extends outside thereof to enable manual adjustment. The slide member, bearing member and screw are arranged so that the screw is adjustably accessible when a portion of the door is within the cabinet door opening to provide direct visual door adjustment within the door opening.

  • Patent number: RE39917
    Abstract: A rotary shelf assembly mechanism has shelves mounted on a vertical post arrangement formed by a first lower post and a second upper post. The mechanism is connected to a cabinet by upper and lower mounting brackets interacting with the top and bottom of the cabinet to support the posts and shelves carried thereby. The mechanism is mounted in the corner of the cabinet. To fit the mechanism within the cabinet, a height adjustment device is formed by positioning the second upper post in the upper end of the first lower post for slidable movement therebetween. When securement of the two joined posts and mounted shelves is desired, the slidably movable second upper post is extended upwardly until it engages the upper mounting bracket mounted on the cabinet. An elongated recess in the second upper post aligns with an opening in the first lower post, and a threaded member extends into a casting positioned within the upper post.
