Abstract: The present invention is directed to improvements in mirror apparatus. In one embodiment, a lighted mirror apparatus is disclosed that comprises a mirror with first and second light assemblies positioned along opposing first and second sides of the mirror, each transmitting light to the center plane along a primary light path. In another embodiment, a lighted mirror apparatus is disclosed that comprises a mirror and a light assembly having a light source mounted to the mirror, the light assembly includes an illumination element that receives light from the light source and emits at least a portion of that light from its front light emitting surface. In a further embodiment, a cabinet apparatus is disclosed having a door that can be raised or lowered and altered between open and closed angular orientations when raised or lowered.

Abstract: A cabinet apparatus includes a housing and a door. The housing extends along a central vertical plane. The housing defines a storage space and an access opening into the storage space. The door has a mirror, and the mirror includes a front surface defining a mirror plane. The door is movably mounted to the housing to be alterable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the door encloses the front access opening and the front surface of the mirror faces away from the housing. In the open position, the storage space is accessible via the access opening. When in the open position, the front surface of the mirror opposes the central vertical plane and an acute inclusive angle is formed between the central vertical plane and the mirror plane.

Abstract: A cabinet apparatus having a housing and a door. The housing defines a storage space having a front access opening. The door includes a first panel structure having a first sidewall panel having a first interior surface that partially defines the storage space and a first exterior surface and a tubular flange extending lengthwise along the first sidewall panel and protruding from the first exterior surface. A first hinge component is located on the tubular flange. The door includes a door body and a second hinge component thereon. The first and second hinge components are operably coupled to one another so that the door is pivotably mounted to the housing to be rotatable about a rotational axis between: (1) a closed position in which the door body encloses the front access opening; and (2) an open position in which the storage space is accessible via the front access opening.

Abstract: A cord management system for a cabinet or other similar furniture, appliances, or other applications include a conduit. A cord management weight is disposed within the conduit. The cord management weight includes a cord receiving portion and a weight locking feature. The cord receiving portion is configured to receive a portion of an electrical cord of an electronic device. The weight locking feature is configured to selectively prevent translational movement of the cord management weight within the conduit. The cord management weight is configured to be selectively retracted into the conduit and locked into position within the conduit.

Abstract: A storage cabinet is disclosed. The storage cabinet includes a housing, a movement system and a computing device. The housing includes a plurality of walls and a door. The walls and door define an internal storage cavity. The movement system is operatively connected to the door and configured to control vertical movement of the door. The movement system is configured to move the door between, at least, a fully closed and fully open position based on inputs provided by a user. The computing device is operatively connected to the movement system. The computing device includes a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an input from a user, and generate control signal(s) for the movement system based on the input from the user. The control signals cause the movement system to move the door into a different position.
