Support Assembly

Abstract

A sliding support assembly includes a sliding rail assembly and an attachment. The sliding rail assembly includes a fixed member, a sliding arm, and a hinge. The hinge has a positioning extension and a second portion, wherein the second portion is pivotally engaged to the positioning extension. The positioning extension is slidably engaged to the fixed member. The sliding rail assembly has a non-pivoted state and a pivoted state, wherein in the non-pivoted state the second portion is positioned substantially parallel to the fixed member, and in the pivoted state the second portion defines an angle with the fixed member. The attachment is engaged to at least a portion of the second portion and in the pivoted state is positioned a desired distance beyond the exterior edge of the partition.

1 . A sliding support assembly comprising:
 a sliding rail assembly comprising a fixed member, and a hinge, the hinge having a positioning extension and a second portion,
 wherein the second portion is pivotally engaged to the positioning extension, and 
 wherein the positioning extension is slidably engaged to the fixed member; 
 the sliding support assembly having a non-pivoted state and a pivoted state, wherein in the non-pivoted state the second portion is positioned substantially parallel to the fixed member, and in the pivoted state the second portion defines an angle with the fixed member; and 
   an attachment being engaged to at least a portion of the second portion.   
     
     
         2 . The sliding support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein in the pivoted state the angle is between 1 and 90 degrees. 
     
     
         3 . The sliding support assembly of  claim 2 , wherein in the pivoted state the angle is at least 90 degrees. 
     
     
         4 . The sliding support assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the attachment comprises a bracket. 
     
     
         5 . The sliding support assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the attachment is selected from at least one member of the group consisting of: mirrors, valet rods, tie racks, belt racks, clothing racks, hangers, hooks, iron boards, and any combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The sliding support assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the fixed member is engaged to a partition.
