Abstract
A lift mechanism provides for movement of a platform, or the like, vertically within a cabinet between use and storage positions and is characterized as featuring a compact supporting and guide structure, wherein electrical controls defining the extent of vertical movement of the platform are carried for movement therewith. A safety mechanism is provided to interconnect cabinet lid lifting/lowering stay arms to the platform in a manner serving to prevent pinching of the fingers of a user by the lid, as the latter is moved into a cabinet closed position incident to movement of the platform into its storage position.
