Abstract
A lift system for a cabinet including a guide path along at least one side wall of a cabinet, the guide path defining a horizontal segment and a non-horizontal segment. A drive member is disposed along the guide path, and a shelf unit is in engagement with the drive member. A drive mechanism is configured to drive the drive member along the guide path, thereby translating the shelf member along the guide path. Translation of the shelf member along the horizontal segment of the guide path moves the shelf member outside the cabinet, and translation of the shelf member along the non-horizontal segment of the guide path moves the shelf member in a vertical direction in relation to the cabinet.
