This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18377695 titled 'Panel

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that allows for the movement of a panel between a closed position and an open position. The system includes guide structures and bracket assemblies that enable the panel to be movable. A stabilizer is also included to hold the panel in the open position. In the closed position, the panel may be flush with the first and/or second portion.

  • The patent application describes a system for opening and closing a panel.
  • The system includes guide structures and bracket assemblies that allow for the movement of the panel.
  • A stabilizer is included to hold the panel in the open position.
  • The panel can be flush with the first and/or second portion when in the closed position.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology could be used in doors or windows to allow for easy opening and closing.
  • It could also be used in cabinets or storage units to provide access to the contents inside.

Problems Solved:

  • The system solves the problem of providing a mechanism for opening and closing a panel.
  • It also solves the problem of securely holding the panel in the open position.

Benefits:

  • The system allows for easy and convenient access to the area behind the panel.
  • It provides a secure and stable open position for the panel.
  • The flush design in the closed position gives a neat and seamless appearance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A first portion and a second portion cooperate to define an opening. Guide structures are in engagement with bracket assemblies so that the bracket assemblies are movable with respect to the guide structures to allow movement of a panel between a closed position and an open position. A stabilizer engages the panel in the open position. In some implementations, the panel may be flush relative to the first portion and/or the second portion in the closed position.
