Vanity cabinet with drawers

Abstract

A new vanity cabinet with a functional lavatory included therein is disclosed with modified drawers that compatibly circumvent the portions of the lavatory basin and the associated plumbing service to same, when the drawers are opened and closed. The vanity cabinet of the present invention therefore provides for increased storage and utility.

1 . A cabinet comprising: 
 a carcass with a front, a back, two sides and a top, all enclosing an interior;    an obstruction located in said interior;    at least one modified drawer moveably suspended within said carcass between a closed position and an open position where in the open position, the modified drawer extends through the front of the carcass and in the closed position the modified drawer rests within the interior of said carcass, and where said modified drawer is formed so as to circumvent contact with said obstruction when the modified drawer is transitioned into the closed position.    
   
   
       2 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  1 , where the cabinet includes at least two modified drawers.  
   
   
       3 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  1 , that further includes at least one door that encloses one or more drawers within the carcass.  
   
   
       4 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  1 , where the modified drawer includes two drawer portions and a drawer front, all interconnected by a reinforcing rib.  
   
   
       5 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  1 , where the modified drawer includes three drawer portions interconnected with a drawer front.  
   
   
       6 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  1 , where the modified drawer is suspended by a pair of drawer slides each of which is interconnected between a drawer portion and the carcass.  
   
   
       7 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  6 , where the drawer slides are telescoping precision drawer slides.  
   
   
       8 . A cabinet comprising: 
 a carcass with a front, a back, two sides, and a top, all enclosing an interior;    a lavatory basin installed into said top;    a plumbing assembly connecting to said lavatory basin where the plumbing assembly is substantially contained within the interior of said carcass;    at least one modified drawer moveably suspended within said carcass between a closed position and an open position where in the open position the modified drawer extends through the front of the carcass and in the closed position the modified drawer rests within the interior of said carcass, and where the modified drawer circumvents contact with said plumbing assembly when the modified drawer is transitioned into the closed position.    
   
   
       9 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  9 , where the cabinet includes at least two modified drawers.  
   
   
       10 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  8 , that further includes at least one door that encloses one or more drawers within the carcass.  
   
   
       11 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  8 , where the modified drawer includes two drawer portions and a drawer front, all interconnected by a reinforcing rib.  
   
   
       12 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  8 , where the modified drawer includes three drawer portions interconnected with a drawer front.  
   
   
       13 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  8 , where the modified drawer is suspended by a pair of drawer slides each of which is interconnected between a drawer portion and the carcass.  
   
   
       14 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  13 , where the drawer slides are telescoping precision drawer slides.  
   
   
       15 . A cabinet comprising: 
 a carcass with a front, a back, two sides, and a top, all of which enclose an interior;    an obstruction located within said interior;    at least one modified drawer moveably suspended within said interior between an open position and a closed position, where said modified drawer further includes at least one drawer portion that is compatibly constructed and oriented to circumvent said obstruction when the modified drawer is transitioned into the closed position, and where said drawer portion is affixed to a first drawer slide that is also affixed to the carcass and where the drawer portion is also affixed to a drawer front and to a reinforcing rib, and where a second drawer slide is affixed to the drawer front and/or the reinforcing rib and also to the carcass, the drawer slides providing the moveable suspension for said modified drawer.    
   
   
       16 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  15 , that further includes at least one door that encloses one or more drawers within the carcass.  
   
   
       17 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  15 , where the drawer slides are telescoping precision drawer slides.  
   
   
       18 . A cabinet comprising: 
 a carcass with a front, a back, two sides, and a top, all of which enclose an interior;    a lavatory basin installed into said top;    a plumbing assembly for service to said lavatory basin and interconnected thereto and substantially contained within said interior;    at least one modified drawer moveably suspended within said interior in a position where the plane described by the travel of the modified drawer between and open position and a closed position intersects portions of said lavatory basin and/or said plumbing assembly, and where the modified drawer is constructed with voids that compatibly circumvent said lavatory basin and/or plumbing assembly when in the closed position or when being transitioned between the open and closed positions.    
   
   
       19 . A cabinet, as in claim Number  18 , where the cabinet includes at least two modified drawers.
