Vertically Positionable Storage Device

Abstract

A vertically positionable storage device that is vertically positionable includes a cabinet. A pair of tracks, which is parallel, is configured to mount to a vertical surface. A plurality of guides, which is complimentary to the tracks, is configured to couple to a back of the cabinet. A biaser is operationally coupled to the back of the cabinet. The biaser is configured to return the cabinet to a raised position from a lowered position. The tracks are mountable to the vertical surface and the guides are couplable to the back of the cabinet such that the tracks are positioned to receive the guides to couple the cabinet to the tracks. The biaser is configured to allow the user to position the cabinet in a lowered position, with the guides moving through the tracks. The biaser will return the cabinet to a raised position.
