Solution

Abstract

The cabinet named the “SOLUTION” was created to solve a problem that exists in small houses and apartments with small kitchens. A study of government and census records revealed that there are more than 19 million units that would benefit by owning the “SOLUTION”. Small kitchens have small cabinets for canned goods, but if we can find wall space in a hallway or a stairwell the “SOLUTION” will fit when a 10 in. cabinet would extend into the space and prevent passage. The cabinet is only 4 in. deep, 24 in.high ×48 in. wide, with enough space for 60 cans. The front is closed by two sliding panels of perforated pressed wood. I have often said: “To own it is to love it”, because when you slide the panel to show the canned goods, you are delighted to see each can, one up. none hidden, And you will know when to re-stock.

1 . The cabinet extends only four inches from the wall, allowing it to be placed in a narrow hallway or stairwell without restricting passage.  
   
   
       2 . The capacity is sixty cans of the most common sizes.  
   
   
       3 . When the sliding door is opened, all the cans are seen “one up”, none hidden which provides a two-fold advantage, instant selection, and a reminder to enter that item on the shopping list if it the last can.
