Abstract
A rotary file cabinet having two opposed open sides and two opposed walled sides mounted upon a rotatable base for selective rotation to present either its open or walled sides to face the user; the cabinet being of quadrate form adapted to be aligned in a row with similar cabinets and in spaced relation to each other so as to enable free unobstructed rotation of one relative to the other; the cabinet having a door hinged to each vertical side of each side wall thereof adapted in a closed condition to cover over one-half of the spacing between the cabinet and its neighbors so as to present with a similar condition of the neighboring cabinets a continuous wall appearance; and the cabinet including spring loaded lever means connecting diagonally opposed doors of the cabinet with each other, the lever means adapted upon an initial manual turning of a selected door to effect a corresponding turning of the opposed door and adapted upon the doors being turned approximately 90 degrees to react and cause both opposed doors to become fully turned to either an opened or closed condition, the doors being restrained by the spring load in either condition against loose movement; and the cabinet being adapted in a fully opened condition of its doors to be rotated freely relative to neighboring cabinets.
