Abstract
Panel legs are provided to support one or more connected cabinets in a row and to raise and lower the cabinet to a pre-selected height. Each leg is relatively thin and is comprised of a fixed, lower frame adapted to rest on the floor and a moveable upper portion connected to the cabinet. The moveable upper portion is raised and lowered with respect to the fixed lower portion by means of a lever pivoted at one end to the fixed frame and at the other end adapted to be set into any one of a number of vertically spaced notches formed in a fixed vertical post forming part of the fixed leg section. The lever connects to the moveable upper portion of the leg and, by operation of the lever, the upper portion of the leg, together with any cabinets attached thereto, will be raised or lowered to a selected height. The working mechanism is contained within the leg and is normally hidden from view by means of a removable front panel. A reversible connecting plate is attached to the rear part of the fixed frame portion, extending through the rear of the moveable portion for attachment to the wall behind the cabinets.
