Abstract

A media cabinet with reversing door is adapted to house multimedia equipment. The door is hinged with the cabinet and adapted to selectively conceal and reveal the equipment. The cabinet may have left and right module sections, each of these module sections having a modular width. The door preferably has the same modular width. The cabinet may further have a center section of two modular widths and a second reversing door. At least one of the left, the center, and the right sections may define an equipment space. The reversing doors may alternatively hinge to conceal the center section, revealing the left and right sections, and hinge to reveal the center section, concealing the left and right module sections. Each door has two opposing face surfaces and presents a closed visual impression in each hinged position of alternatively concealing the center section or concealing the respective left and right sections.

REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING [0003] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] The invention relates to furniture cabinets that are directed to housing what may commonly be referred to as multimedia or entertainment equipment, including signal processing and presentation devices. More specifically, a media cabinet with reversing door of the invention is directed to alternating concealment and revealing of multimedia devices and the like, with a door that has two opposing finished or front sides, instead of a finished front and a less than finished back. Thus, the door presents a visual impression of being closed when either surface is presented with the door in a position to conceal or a position to reveal the multimedia devices. [0005] The multimedia devices may, more specifically, include audio and video tuners and amplifier...
