1. A cabinet (A) employing a mechanism to access an inaccessible interior (C) enclosed within said cabinet (A), comprising:
i a door (B);
ii a plurality of first type of frames (14, 17) pivoted on a plurality of vertical axis (6, 4) respectively;
iii a plurality of second type of frames (15, 11) movably coupled with the corresponding first type of frames (14, 17) by means of a plurality of telescopic slides (10) and a plurality of guide roller assemblies;
iv a plurality of coupling elements (3, 5);
v a plurality of horizontal arms (12, 13); vi a plurality of pivot points (9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4); and
vii a door bracket (16),
wherein
a first assembly mounted on the door (B) of the cabinet (A), the first assembly comprising one of the first type of frames (14) movably coupled to one of the second type of frames (15) by means of one of the telescopic slides (10), shelves mounted on the second type of frames (15), said first assembly having a sliding and pivoting guide to slide and swing about a first vertical axis (6);
a second assembly comprising another of the first type of frames (17) movably coupled to another of the second type of frames (11) by means of the telescopic slides (10), shelves mounted on the second type of frame (11), said second assembly having a sliding and pivoting guide to slide and swing about a second vertical axis (4);
the first assembly (1) and the second assembly (2) are interconnected by the plurality of coupling elements (3, 5) wherein one of the horizontal arms (12) is connected to a bottom of the first assembly (1) and another of the horizontal arms (13) is connected to a bottom of the second assembly (2) of the cabinet, and wherein the plurality of coupling elements (3, 5) connect the plurality of horizontal arms (12, 13) at the plurality of pivot points (9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4);
wherein the first assembly moves from a first position to a second position and wherein the door (B) of the cabinet is in a closed position when the first assembly is in the first position, and the door (B) of the cabinet is in an open position when the first assembly is in second position;
wherein the second assembly moves from a first position to a second position wherein the second assembly is completely located within the interior of the cabinet in the first position and is inaccessible and wherein the second assembly is not completely located within the interior of the cabinet in the second position and is accessible;
wherein, initiation of movement of the door (B) of the cabinet (A) from the first position to the second position enables synchronized angular displacement of the first assembly (1) and the second assembly (2), making the inaccessible second assembly (2) located completely within the interior of the of the cabinet (A) to be accessible and at least partially located outside of the cabinet when the second assembly is in the second position; and
wherein a portion of the second assembly partially moves past the first position of the door (B) when the second assembly moves from the first position to the second position.
