[Class 65 (ii).] A cabinet or other door adapted to swing about a horizontal axis is provided on each side with a pair of rollers 3, 4 one above the other near its upper edge, each pair of rollers engaging a pair of channel tracks 6, 7 formed in or applied to the adjacent side of the cabinet or the like ; the upper track 6 of each pair is straight and slightly inclined downwardly from front to rear of the cabinet, while the lower track 7 is curved towards the upper track, approaching it closely at its inner end so that the door, when open, lies substantially horizontal. The downward inclination of the upper track tends to hold the door open until its closing movement is started positively. The rollers may be replaced by pins, balls, or other suitable devices. Specification 215,589, [Class 52 (i), Furniture, Fittings &c. for], is referred to.
