AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a storage system with suspended drawers that can be easily moved and shuffled. The drawers are individually operated, making it easy to access the items inside. The system is designed to use space efficiently and is cost-effective. The main advantage is that the drawers can be reliably rolled in and out within close tolerances. The invention solves the problem of limited access to corner spaces and provides an affordable solution to store a rolling step-stool or a safer, more convenient aide for reaching wall cabinets.

Problems solved by technology

The rotating motion of wide shelves can be a problem for small items.
The size and unusually angled shapes of the drawers are less well-suited for large items.

Abstract

A method for installing a set of drawers under the counter-top in the “blind corner” of kitchen cabinets. The stack of drawers is attached to a rack and hung from little wheel-cars in tracks. To access any of the drawers the door of the adjacent cabinet is opened and the stack is rolled sideways into borrowed space temporarily made available there. The drawers can then be pulled open. When finished the drawers are closed and the stack rolled back. Unlike existing products, this design's mechanisms permanently occupy very little of the adjacent space, only the top 3″. The rest is only borrowed. The flooring of this space is regular kitchen floor. It can be occupied by anything that can be easily moved out temporarily when corner access is needed.

If both adjacent cabinets were to have full sets of drawers the space would be completely inaccessible. This has led to the term “Blind Corner”. The least cost method to provide some access is to install shelves in one of the adjacent cabinets and extend them sideways throughout the blind corner. These shelves are so deep that getting to items in the back corner requires unpacking many of the items in fron...
