Definitions

  • the present invention relates to slide and hinge suspension systems for supporting cabinet doors. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hinge bracket for use in converting common pocket door slide systems from achieving an inset or a partial overlay configuration when the door is in a closed position to achieving a full overlay configuration when the door is in a closed position.
  • This type of cabinet typically has a pair of large doors that enclose a front opening in an upper portion of the cabinet. These doors may be opened to reveal a television set, stereo or other entertainment system that has been conveniently hidden from view until it is desired to be used. Many times, these cabinets are found in hotel rooms where they combine a series of drawers within a lower portion of the same cabinet, providing storage as well as the provisions for the entertainment center.
  • suspension systems for hanging the doors on such cabinets were developed to allow the doors to be hinged to an open position, and thereafter, to traverse rearward into the interior of the cabinet, into a so-called “pocket” space in parallel alignment with the cabinet side walls.
  • the door suspension systems have typically been based upon the usage of drawer slide technology, notably precision drawer slide technology using telescoping slide members and ball or roller bearings, such as is found in office furniture applications and the like, although other more simplistic drawer slides may be used.
  • drawer slide technology notably precision drawer slide technology using telescoping slide members and ball or roller bearings, such as is found in office furniture applications and the like, although other more simplistic drawer slides may be used.
  • the functionality of the suspension system provides both a hinged opening and closing relationship relative to the door and the hinge, as well as a translational action between a forward position at a ninety degree angle to the front of the cabinet, and a rearward position within the cabinet body.
  • a number of pocket door slide systems have been developed in the prior art, with particular structures designed to keep the doors from sagging, racking or otherwise becoming misaligned when in position to be moved rearward into the cabinet or forward out from the cabinet.
