  • Figure 5 further illustrates each interior space 501, 502, 503, 504 accessible through corresponding doors 510, 520, 530 and 540, which are shown hinged to sidewalls 511, 512, 523 and 514, respectively; each door is shown partially open.
  • organizer 50 further includes a base 515 on which the cabinet is pivotally mounted, so that a user may swivel the cabinet for access to each of interior spaces 501, 502, 503, 504; although not shown, it should be understood that the cabinet is joined to base 515 by a swivel joint, which may be similar to that described for organizer 10.
  • Organizers according to the present invention may be of any proportions, for example, one group of embodiments has a relatively large overall size, for example, to stand on a floor, and another group of embodiments has a relatively small overall size, for example, to stand on a counter-top or dresser-top.
  • some of the embodiments which include a mirror, for example, as depicted in Figures 1A and 1C , further include a tilt mechanism in order to orient the mirror at an angle with respect to a vertical axis.

  • Figure 6C illustrates a locking pin 653 holding inner portion 651 in place with respect to outer portion 652 at a desired extension of inner portion 651 from outer portion 652.
  • outer portion 651 includes a hole (not shown), passing through opposing sidewalls thereof, and inner portion 651 includes a series of holes (not shown) spaced along a length thereof, each hole extending through opposing sidewalls thereof; an alignment of inner and outer holes provides a passageway for pin 653 to pass in order to reversibly lock portions 651, 652 together at various extensions of inner portion 651 from outer portion 652.
  • Figure 6A illustrates inner portions 651 extending equidistance from outer portions 652 of first and second legs 654, 656, such that organizer 60 is not tilted; Figure 6A further illustrates, with dashed lines, a tilt of organizer 60 that would result if inner portion 651 of first leg 654 were to be extended, per arrow C. If door 120 includes a mirror disposed on an outer surface thereof, it will be appreciated that the tilt shown by the dashed lines will provide a person, whose eye-level is within a range extending along and above an upper portion of the mirror, an improved view into the mirror.
  • Figure 7A is a front elevation view of an organizer 70. The illustrated embodiment does not fall within the scope of the claims as only one interior space is shown.

  • Figure 7A further illustrates a panel 721 including a mirror 726 and a handle 725, each disposed on an outer surface thereof; panel 721 is shown coupled to door 720 by a pair of hinges 730.
  • Figure 7B is a section view of a door of the organizer shown in Figure 7A , according to one embodiment.
  • Figure 7B illustrates door 720 including a recessed area 724 into which panel 721 is fitted.
  • Figure 7B further illustrates panel 721 including a tilt mechanism, which is formed by an arm 723 joined to panel at a pivot joint 722, in combination with hinges 730.
  • a lower portion of panel 721 may be pulled away from door 720, for example, via handle 725, to be reversibly locked in a tilted position, when arm 723 rotates about pivot joint 722 and becomes extended to support panel as illustrated in Figure 7C .
  • arm 723 is disposed near a midpoint of a width of panel 721 and may extend across the width; according to alternate embodiments, multiple arms 723 may be spaced apart approximately across the width of panel 721. It may be appreciated that the tilt of panel 721 shown in Figure 7C will provide a person, whose eye-level is within a range extending along and above an upper portion of the mirror, an improved view into mirror 726.
