Patent ID: 7552980

Claim:
A furniture construction for housing at least one electronic component, comprising: a housing having a top, and at least two side walls and defining an interior that is at least partially enclosed; means defining an angled opening in an upper portion of the housing at the top and adapted to permit viewing the electronic component in its normal operating position; and a support assembly for supporting the at least one electronic component in an access position that is generally horizontal and disposed extending at least partially through the opening, and in the normal operating position that is at a downwardly inclined angle at least partially within the interior of said housing adapted to permit the operation of the component; the support assembly including a movable drawer having a bottom, upstanding walls, a substantially open front and an upward rear-end portion at the upstanding walls, the rear-end portion serving as a stop engageable member; at least one fixed inclined member extending along and parallel to the bottom of the drawer and extending at said downwardly inclined angle to support the drawer in the normal operating position; at least one roller mounted on the housing near the angled opening to allow the drawer to move angularly relative to the inclined member through the opening until the drawer pivots under its weight into a substantially horizontal position; a stop forming a part of the top of the housing at the interior of the housing adjacent to the angled opening; and the walls of the drawer being suitably dimensioned to allow the drawer rear-end portion to engage the stop to limit the pivoting movement of the drawer to allow the drawer to assume the horizontal access position.
