Height adjustable vanity

Abstract

The present disclosure generally provides a height adjustable vanity comprising a vanity structure and a storage structure supporting the vanity structure. The storage structure includes a removable upper frame structure that is releasably attached to a lower frame structure by coupling means. The height of the vanity can be lowered by removing the upper frame structure from the storage structure and raised by reinserting the upper frame structure into the storage structure.

 wherein the removable upper frame structure (a) comprises (i) a top frame having an top cutout section comprising a top opening and opposing horizontal supports positioned at the boundaries of the top opening (ii) a bottom frame comprising a bottom cutout section comprising a bottom opening and opposing horizontal supports positioned at the boundaries of the bottom opening and (iii) at least one side wall extending upward in a vertical plane from the bottom frame to the top frame and   wherein the lower frame structure (b) comprises (i) a top frame comprising an opening and opposing horizontal supports positioned at the boundaries of the opening (ii) a base positioned opposite the top frame and (iii) and at least one side wall extending upward in a vertical plane from the bottom frame to the top frame and   wherein the vanity is moveable from a first height to a second height by removing the upper frame structure from the storage structure.   
     
     
         2 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the vanity structure further comprises a sink resting within an opening formed in the countertop. 
     
     
         3 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the removable upper frame structure comprises two opposing side walls located on each side of the vanity structure. 
     
     
         4 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 3 , wherein the removable upper frame structure further comprises at least one back wall extending upward in a vertical plane from the bottom frame to the top frame. 
     
     
         5 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the removable upper frame structure comprises two opposing side cutout walls that are located on each side of the lower opening and which extend upward in a vertical plane from the bottom frame. 
     
     
         6 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the removable upper frame structure further comprises at least one slidable drawer. 
     
     
         7 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the lower frame structure comprises two side walls located on each side of the vanity structure. 
     
     
         8 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the lower frame structure further comprises at least one back wall extending upward in a vertical plane from the base to the top frame. 
     
     
         9 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the lower frame structure further comprises two opposing side cutout walls located on each side of the opening and extending upward in a vertical plane from the base to the top frame. 
     
     
         10 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 7 , wherein the lower frame structure further comprises a bottom surface extending between the sidewalls in a horizontal plane. 
     
     
         11 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the lower frame structure further comprises at least one door. 
     
     
         12 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , wherein the first coupling joint and second coupling joint are independently selected from a blind joint, a dado joint, a blind dado joint, a stopped joint, a dovetail joint, a doweled joint, a blind joint, a finger joint, a half lap joint, a lock miter joint, a lock shoulder joint, a slotted mortise and tenon joint, a stub mortise and tenon joint, a through mortise and tenon joint, a rabbet joint, a scarf joint, a spline joint, a tongue and groove joint and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The height adjustable vanity of  claim 12 , wherein the first coupling joint and second coupling joint are independently selected from a doweled joint, a tongue and groove joint and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         14 . A method of assembling the height adjustable vanity of  claim 1  comprising attaching a removable upper frame structure to a lower frame structure by a first coupling joint to form a storage structure  120  and attaching a vanity structure to the storage structure  120  by a second coupling joint to form the height adjustable vanity. 
     
     
         15 . A method for adjusting the height of the height adjustable vanity of  claim 1 , comprising (i) disengaging the first coupling joint between the vanity structure and removing the vanity structure from engagement with the storage structure (ii) disengaging a second coupling joint between the removable upper frame structure  130  and lower frame structure and removing the removable upper frame structure from the storage structure and (ii) placing the vanity structure in engagement with and attaching it to the lower frame structure via a third coupling joint.
