  • Patent number: 6755492
    Abstract: A sliding cabinet that provides safe, ergonomic, and convenient access to shelves in elevated cabinets. The sliding cabinet comprises an inner cabinet and an outer cabinet housed by a support frame. In operation, the outer cabinet pulls out of the support frame by rolling horizontally on a roller and track system. Next, the inner cabinet lowers through the bottom of the outer cabinet by rolling vertically on a second roller and track system. After reaching a desired item, the inner cabinet can be raised back into the outer cabinet. Next, the outer cabinet is pushed back into the support frame for further storage. The sliding cabinet's components may be sized to fit into any size or style of cabinetry. Furthermore, the sliding cabinet is supplied with an adjustable counterweight, allowing the inner cabinet to be easily raised or lowered regardless of the weight on the shelves.
