Description

A type of bay window storage cabinet Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture, and in particular to a bay window storage cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Bay windows are a common problem in home decoration. In bedrooms, bay windows are often used as seating areas, often arranged like coffee tables, but this results in extremely low space utilization. A common approach is to place a low cabinet on the bay window, attempting to use it as a desk to increase space. However, this cabinet is flush with the wall, preventing the bay window from being transformed into a combined desk and storage workspace, leading to wasted space in small apartments. A common solution is to use a side-mounted three-section rail to slide the desktop horizontally, providing enough legroom underneath. However, the exposed rails and the unstable desktop make it easy to move, posing a significant risk.

[0003] A current multi-functional drawer with a lid includes a drawer body and a drawer lid. The drawer lid includes a fixed panel and a movable panel. The fixed panel is fixedly installed inside the drawer body, and the movable panel is located on the outside of the drawer body and is movably connected to the fixed panel. The drawer body is slidably connected to the cabinet via a sliding rail. This allows the drawer to be installed in various types of furniture with internal openings, such as wardrobes, bay window tables, and coffee tables, depending on space requirements. When in use, the drawer can be pulled out to serve as a small desk, and it can be secured with positioning pins and holes. However, this structure, by fixing the fixed panel inside the drawer body, makes it difficult for users to see and retrieve items underneath. Furthermore, if items accidentally roll into the depths of the cabinet, they are not easily accessible after pulling out the drawer. Summary of the Invention
