VERTICALLY ADJUSTABLE SHELF AND SUPPORT RAIL ARRANGEMENT FOR USE IN A CABINET

摘要

An adjustable shelf is able to be initially attached to support structure within a storage area of a cabinet at any one of a multitude of vertical heights and then can be readily, mechanically adjusted to reposition the shelf as desired. In one embodiment of the invention, the shelf includes a pair of sprockets which are interengaged with mating slots formed in a pair of similarly constructed and laterally spaced support rails positioned within the cabinet. The drive arrangement for the sprockets can be manually, electrically or otherwise driven to provide infinite adjustments for the vertical shelf. In addition, the support rails are preferably constructed to accommodate various types of shelves in order to present a more universal, overall shelving assembly.
