port "which ci'ane 5 it the top of the panel and at the top of the closet, and a small sliding arm or crane 6 at the bottom. Each of these arms 5 6 move in and out of the closet sim'niteneousiy in unison and in a iiireetion pail-slid with the ciept-h of the ciosetor at right angics to the opening thereof; and each arm being ivoted to the middle of he door, at 5. The upper arm. has its in rsiiie new: the tear resting and. sup posted on the giiiiiie sheave Y and the top of it; front ai iesiin t another sheave 8; the itil'fi 5 c etWec-n the upper and imvei' i pulleys 7S, 561! late are hone sole brackets 1 the top of the 010: t ii'i'ie lo V01 :ii-in between the upper sheaves or rollers 9-40 c the i? ciih "3; Thus ni'lns an! the panel is sup ;-irteo from below by we iUYFGI'IlIOSiL sheaves i'-J and above by up Jern'iiiist heaves 89.

J Q] My secured to me Weight of the in the direc I Wlli operate, 1 t to bodily tin-us that the panel' is carried completely on the arms or g i i i-l Then, as the taming motion is .Mzt' ineci in the direction of the arrow, so t inci through an m of one. hundred L V git-y degrees, the l nks will gradually iii-ow the panel back into position flush with the Vail 14-.

From the foregoing it will he UIltiQlSiiOOfi that the HIIUS or Q'uiC es 5 6 constitute a carrier to support the links to re ci'sc and retract While I have. shovm two arms, one LLil top and hottcin, to support the carrier, it is manifest that a single arm can be idaptedto this pur' pose through the medium of the upper and lower spaced guide supporting sheaves; but .i rlo'not Wish to be considered as limiting myself to the specific invention herein shown and described.
