And, the heightadjustable platform120 comprises twoside edges1201 of the heightadjustable platform120 and afront edge1202, wherein thefront edge1202 and the twoside edges1201 can be selectively matched with the U-shapededge1181. In other words, thefront edge1202 can be matched with theinwardly edge1181b,and at the same time, the twoside edges1201 of the height adjustable platform can be matched with the each of the twoside edges1181aof theU-shaped edge1181.

In one embodiment, the heightadjustable platform120 can be configured to flush with the work surface160. In other words, the heightadjustable platform120 can be raised to engage with the U-shapededge1181. As shown inFIG. 1B, the heightadjustable platform120 is disposed along with thework surface116 to form a coplanar surface where the heightadjustable platform120 is in a raised motion.

In another embodiment, the heightadjustable platform120 can be configured to disposed below with the work surface160 to expose the U-shapededge1181 wherein the heightadjustable platform120 is in a lowered motion, wherein the heightadjustable platform120 can be separated with the work surface160 at different height level. In one aspect, the heightadjustable platform120 can be raised to locate at one position above the work surface160. In another aspect, the heightadjustable platform120 can be lowered to locate at another position lower than the work surface160.

Referring toFIGS. 2A to 2B of the drawings, the height adjustable assembly112 comprises at least one ridgedbracket1121 and at least one retainingmember113 selectively engaged with the ridged brackets112a,112b,wherein each of the ridgedbrackets1121 comprises at least oneridge114 having a plurality ofridge openings1141. Each of the retainingmembers113 can be engaged with one of theridge openings1141 formed on one of thebrackets1121 to lock the heightadjustable platform120 with thework surface116 at a fixed height.

In one embodiment, the height adjustable sewing machine support andstorage system100 comprises a pair of height adjustable assembly112 arranged on twoside edges1201 of the heightadjustable platform120, wherein the heightadjustable platform120 is configured to raise and lower with respect to thework surface106 through a height adjustable assembly112. Each of the height adjustable assemblies112 further comprises one top end connected to one of the twoside edges1201 of the heightadjustable platform120, wherein the heightadjustable platform120 can be selectively moved in a generally vertical direction relative to the work surface160. It is worth mentioning that each of theridge brackets1121 can be suspended and fixedly attached on a bottom surface of thework surface116 and can be arranged adjacent with the two inwardly edges1181a,1181b.

In one aspect, the pair of the height adjustable assembly112 can be located at the same height and the two height adjustable assemblies112 can be symmetrically arranged. In other words, the tworidge brackets1121 can be symmetrically arranged adjacent to the inwardly edges1181a,1181brespectively. One of theridge openings1141 on one of theridge brackets1121 can be located at the same height with another one of theridge openings1141 on another one of theridge brackets1121. The twoside edges1201 of the heightadjustable platform120 can be moved along the tworidge brackets1121 to operate the heightadjustable platform120 in the raised motion and the lowered motion. It is worth mentioning that the heightadjustable platform120 can be parallelly arranged with the work surface160.

Accordingly, each of the retainingmembers113 can be fixedly attached on the twoside edges1201 of the heightadjustable platform120 to selectively slide into one of theridge openings1141 and lock on one of theridge brackets1121. The tworidge brackets1121 can be vertically arranged with respect to thework surface116, wherein the each of the retainingmembers113 can be parallelly affixed on twoside edges1201 of the heightadjustable platform120. In other words, each of the retainingmembers113 can be vertically inserted into theridge openings1141 and locked one of the retainingmembers113 with one of theridge brackets1121.

In one aspect, the retainingmembers113 can be slid into the upper-locatedridge openings1141 from the lower locatedridge openings1141, and as a result, the heightadjustable platform120 can be lowered to locate below the work surface160.

In another aspect, the retainingmembers113 can be slid into the lower-locatedridge openings1141 from the upper-locatedridge openings1141, and as a result, the heightadjustable platform120 can be raised to locate above the work surface160.

In yet another aspect, the retainingmembers113 can be slid into the lower-locatedridge openings1141 from the upper-locatedridge openings1141, and as a result, the heightadjustable platform120 can be raised to locate at a position which matches with a height of the heightadjustable platform120 or at another position higher than the height of the heightadjustable platform120.

Referring toFIG. 3 toFIG. 4 of the drawings, the height adjustable sewing machine support andstorage system100 further comprises at least one hingedside platform122 hingedly connected with either theleft edge118cor theright edge118dof thework surface116, wherein the hingedside platform122 can be pivotably moved up to form a coplanar with thework surface116. It is worth mentioning that the hingedside platform122 can be locked with thework surface116 in a coplanar position, so that the hingedside platform122 can be sturdy enough to support heavy-weight subjects to be placed thereon. As shown inFIG. 4, the hingedside platform122 can be pivotably moved down to rest adjacent to the legs104a-c.

In one embodiment of the present invention presented inFIGS. 1A-6, a height adjustable sewing machine support andstorage system100 is configured to operate with a sewing machine, providing alarge work surface116, about which vertically translates a heightadjustable platform120 that supports a sewing machine, such that the top of the base of the sewing machine is flush with the tabletop, orwork surface116; an expandable, drop leaf configured hingedside platform122 for selectively increasing the surface area; andmultiple bins126 and shelves128a-cthat allow for efficient access to store sewing-related items.

As referenced inFIG. 1A, the height adjustable sewing machine support andstorage system100, hereafter “system100” provides anadaptable work surface116 with vertically and hingedly connected with the heightadjustable platform120 and the hinged side platform112 that rests horizontally atop asupportive frame102; along withmultiple storage bins126 and shelves128a-cdisposed directly in front of, and to the left or right of a user. In this arrangement, a sewing machine that is mounted or positioned on a heightadjustable platform120 is selectively adjustable in height relative to thework surface116. The heightadjustable platform120 may lock into a fixed height, coplanar or below thework surface116, through selective engagement with a pair ofridged brackets1121 disposed at opposite ends of the heightadjustable platform120. The heightadjustable platform120 allows a top of the base of the sewing machine to be flush with the tabletop, orwork surface116. This allows the user to run fabric easily through the machine without having to lift the fabric.

When the sewing machine is not in use, the sewing machine may be easily retracted or lowered below thework surface116 through vertical translation of the heightadjustable platform120. Conversely, when the sewing machine is to be used, the heightadjustable platform120 can be raised vertically, coplanar with thework surface116, and locked into the ridgedbrackets1121 to elevate the sewing machine back with thework surface116. For example,FIG. 1A shows the heightadjustable platform120 and the hingedside platform122 coplanar with thework surface116.FIG. 1C shows the heightadjustable platform120 lowered below thework surface116.

At least one hingedside platform122 is configured to hingedly articulate about the edge of thework surface116 through a drop leaf configuration. The hingedside platform122 includes asupport bracket124 that locks the hingedside platform122 into a coplanar arrangement with thework surface116. The hingedside platform122 is also configured to hingedly articulate downwardly, in the drop leaf configuration. For example,FIG. 1A shows the hingedside platform122 coplanar with thework surface116; andFIG. 1B shows the hingedside platform122 dropped in a drop leaf configuration.

For easily accessible and ample storage capacity, thesystem100 utilizes alower storage bin126 that positions below, and directly in front of theframe102 for easy storage and access of sewing-related items. Thelower storage bin126 positions directly in front of a user operating the sewing machine. Further storage is provided by a plurality of shelves128a-cthat position below, and directly to the right or left of theframe102 for easy storage and access of the sewing-related items.

It is also known that a sewing machine may be installed permanently in a sewing cabinet. The sewing cabinet serves as both storage and as a work surface for the sewing machine. The sewing cabinet is typically a fixed cabinet. The sewing cabinet provides a level working surface, usually on the top of the cabinet, on which the sewing machine is mounted or positioned.

Thus, when the sewing machine is not in use, the sewing machine may be easily retracted or lowered below the work surface and into the interior space of the cabinet for storage through use of a vertical translation means. Conversely, when the sewing machine is to be used again, the same means elevates the machine back to the working surface. In both cases, this storage and setting up of the sewing machine can be time consuming and requires additional storage space. The present invention serves as both storage area and as awork surface116 for a sewing machine, through the use of a heightadjustable platform120 and hingedside platform122; and further provides easily accessiblelower storage bin126 and side shelves128a-cfor stowing sewing-related items.

AsFIG. 3 references, thesystem100 comprises asupport frame102 that provides the foundation. Theframe102 may include ahorizontal rack101 and a plurality of legs104a-cdisposed perpendicular from thehorizontal rack101. The legs104a-ccomprise anupper end106 and alower end108 terminating at feet110a-c. The legs104a-cmay be disposed in a generally vertical orientation, such that thehorizontal rack101 fixedly attached to theupper end106 of the legs104a-cin a generally horizontal orientation.

In one non-limiting embodiment, the feet110a-care elongated bars. In one non-limiting embodiment, the plurality of legs104a-ccomprises three pairs of parallel legs104a-c. In another embodiment, the feet110a-chave wheels to assist in mobility. Suitable materials for the legs104a-cmay include, without limitation, steel, aluminum, metal alloys, a rigid polymer, fiberglass, and wood.

Looking atFIG. 4, a pair ofridged brackets1121 are disposed at opposite ends of theframe102. The ridgedbrackets1121 can be attached in a generally perpendicular orientation to the horizontal rack of theframe102. Each of the ridgedbrackets1121 comprise a plurality ofridge openings1141. Theridge openings1141 are disposed in a spaced-apart relationship. As discussed below, theridge openings1141 can be configured to support the heightadjustable platform120 at a fixed height relative to thework surface116.

Turning back toFIG. 1A, thesystem100 comprises awork surface116 upon which a substantial amount of the sewing and sewing related functions are performed. Thework surface116 is defined by aproximal edge118a,adistal edge118b,aleft edge118c,and aright edge118d. The edges are rounded, or at least not pointed, to avoid catching or cutting the fabric during sewing. In one possible embodiment, theproximal edge118aof thework surface116 is the edge that is closest to the user sitting in front of the sewing machine. In one non-limiting embodiment, thework surface116 is generally planar and rigid. Thework surface116 is static and provides edges about which a heightadjustable platform120 and a hingedside platform122 articulate, as described below.

Thesystem100 further comprises a heightadjustable platform120, upon which the sewing machine is mounted or rests loosely upon. The heightadjustable platform120 is disposed at theproximal edge118aof thework surface116 for supporting the full weight of the sewing machine. The heightadjustable platform120 is selectively adjustable in height relative to thework surface116, through a vertical translation. Thus, the heightadjustable platform120 may be raised and lowered relative to thework surface116 through vertical translation, such that the sewing machine is raised flush with thework surface116 during operation and lowered for storage, or to accommodate the height of a shorter user. In this manner, the heightadjustable platform120 allows a top of the base of the sewing machine to be flush with the tabletop, orwork surface116.

As shown inFIG. 6, the heightadjustable platform120 is locked into a fixed position relative to thework surface116 through selective engagement with theridge openings114 forming in the ridgedbrackets1121. The lateral edges of the heightadjustable platform120 engage theridge openings114 in the ridged bracket at a desired height.

For example, the heightadjustable platform120 is raised to a desired height, and the retainingmembers113 can be passed through or slid through theridge openings1141 to engage and lock into place. To further raise, or lower the heightadjustable platform120, in another embodiment, the retainingmembers113 can be manipulated, pulled outwardly, pivoted, or through other means, which is configured to disengage from theridge openings114 to enable the vertical translation in the desired raised or lowered direction.

Looking again atFIG. 1B, thesystem100 further at least one hingedside platform122 that is disposed at the left orright edge118dof thework surface116. The hingedside platform122 hingedly connected with either theleft edge118corright edge118dof thework surface116 through a drop leaf configuration. A hinge may be used to enable this hinged articulation.

Thus, dropping, or hingedly lowering, the hingedside platform122 below thework surface116 is useful for providing greater space. Conversely, raising the hingedside platform122 coplanar with thework surface116 is useful for supporting additional sewing-related items that require more space than thework surface116 allows. In one possible embodiment, both the heightadjustable platform120 and the hingedside platform122 have a rectangular shape. Though other shapes and dimensions are possible, as required for various sewing purposes and sewing machine dimensions.

In some embodiments, asupport bracket124 is used to lock the hingedside platform122 into a coplanar arrangement with thework surface116. In one possible embodiment, thesupport bracket124 is oriented at a 45° angle when supporting the hingedside platform122, coplanar with thework surface116. Thesupport bracket124 may include a triangular-shaped bar that attaches to the bottom portion of the hingedside platform122.

As discussed above, thesystem100 provides numerous storage components to efficiently store sewing-related items and enable easy access thereto. In one possible embodiment, alower storage bin126 is disposed below thework surface116. Thelower storage bin126 extends between the legs104a-cof theframe102. Thelower storage bin126 is elongated, and sufficiently sized and dimensioned to contain sewing-related items, including, without limitation, fabric, textiles, sewing machine parts, needles, thread bobs, and the like. In one non-limiting embodiment, thelower storage bin126 is perforated and has a pair of sidewalls that meet at an angle to support items in an upright position. Suitable materials for thelower storage bin126 may include, without limitation, steel, aluminum, metal alloys, a rigid polymer, fiberglass, and wood.

Turning now toFIG. 5, theframe102 supports a plurality of shelves128a-cin a slidable open-close relationship that creates additional storage space. The shelves128a-care disposed below theright edge118dor theleft edge118cof thework surface116.FIG. 1A shows the shelves128a-cbeneath theleft edge118cof thework surface116, which approximates to the left hand of a user sitting in front of a sewing machine. In one non-limiting embodiment, the shelves128a-ccomprises three shelves128a-cdisposed in a stacked arrangement. Though in other embodiments, a greater or smaller number of shelves may be used. In one alternative embodiment, the shelves128a-cmay be color coded to segregate different types of sewing-related items. For example, a red shelf contains thread, and a blue shelf contains sewing machine oil and parts.

To help in the sliding articulation of theshelves128a-c, thesystem100 employs ashelf bracket130. Theshelf bracket130 attaches to theframe102 and may include rails that receive the shelves128a-cin a slidable relationship. In this manner, the shelves128a-care slidably displaced between an open position and a closed position. The shelves128a-care sufficiently sized and dimensioned to contain sewing-related items, including, without limitation, fabric, textiles, sewing machine parts, needles, thread bobs, and the like. In one embodiment, the shelves128a-chave a generally rectangular shape. Suitable materials for the shelves128a-cmay include, without limitation, steel, aluminum, metal alloys, a rigid polymer, fiberglass, and wood.

Since many modifications, variations, and changes in detail can be made to the described preferred embodiments of the invention, it is intended that all matters in the foregoing description and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. Thus, the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalence.
