in a preferred embodiment of the cabinet according to the invention the drive can be operated by remote control , so that using a remote control device the user can switch from storage position to operating position and from operating position to storage position . first , it is noted that not all figures comprise all reference numbers . for each series of figures only reference numbers are indicated thereon where they are most clear for understanding the operation of the embodiment of the invention shown . the overall operation will be described with reference to fig1 a - e . fig1 a shows a cabinet 1 with a horizontal panel 2 that is divided in two parts , 2 ′ and 2 ″, in which below the horizontal panel 2 ′, 2 ″ a display screen , visual monitor or television device 3 is situated in the storage position . the horizontal panel in this embodiment is divided into two parts , being a part 2 ′, which comprises the largest part of the horizontal panel , and a part 2 ″ that forms the smallest part of the horizontal panel . the division between the parts 2 ′, 2 ″ of the upper panel is chosen in such a way that the part 2 ″ is as small as possible , but in the operating position those parts of the device for moving the holder and television device that necessarily have to be located behind the television device , are located below or above the parts 2 ″. the rear side of the television device in the operating position is essentially right above the dividing line between the parts 2 ′, 2 ″ of the horizontal panel . the horizontal panel 2 ′, 2 ″ is rectangular in shape and in the stationary position is at the bottom side in contact with four vertical panels that extend downwards . these panels are part of a frame 4 that is comprised in the stationary part of the cabinet . the cabinet 1 shown in the figures can be part of a table , such as a coffee table , but the part shown can also be part of for instance a wall cabinet . in the figures the part shown is limited to the parts that are essential for understanding the operation of the cabinet according to the invention . the frame 4 is fixed to the cabinet and is therefore supported by those parts of the cabinet that have not been shown in the figures . the drive is formed by an electromotor 5 that via transmission , can operate a screw spindle , that is not visible in the drawing , that is connected with slide 7 . slide 7 is slidably connected with a guide 6 and can move via guide 6 from a first stationary position , shown in fig1 a and which is close to one end of the guide 6 near to the drive with electromotor 5 when in the stationary cabinet storage position with the visual screen / television device 3 , to a second stationary position that belongs to the operating position of the visual screen / television device 3 and is situated near to the other end of the guide 6 . in the storage position the screen of the visual screen / television device forms an angle with the horizontal plane , thus with the horizontal panel 2 in position of rest , of approximately 10 degrees . with such a small angle the required space for the visual screen / television device 3 in the storage position is minimal , while the angle is sufficient to exert an upward force on the television screen 3 with movement of the slide 7 from the first stationary position over guide 6 together with pivoting arm 10 . in this embodiment the angle that pivoting arm 10 forms with the visual screen / television device 3 and holder 8 is decisive . this angle can be achieved in different constructive ways , which different ways are forming equivalents of the present invention . slide 7 can also be moved in the reversed direction by electromotor 5 from the second stationary position that belongs to the operating position of the television screen 3 to the first stationary position that belongs to the storage position of the visual screen / television device 3 . slide 7 is pivotally connected with bracket 9 along which holder 8 of visual screen / television device 3 is movable in the longitudinal direction . further details of the moving mechanisms will be explained below . in moving slide 7 from the first stationary position , as is shown in fig1 a to the second stationary position as is shown in fig1 e , by this movement an mechanism is activated that has as consequence a number of movements . in fig1 b can be seen that the part 2 ′ of the horizontal panel has translated upwards and somewhere to the left in the drawing , remaining parallel to its original horizontal position . at the same time the horizontal part 2 ″ pivots around an axis that is situated at an end of the part 2 ″. at the same time holder 8 with visual screen / television device 3 has slid upwards along bracket 9 and bracket 9 is pivoted upwards along the pivoting connection with slide 7 . the movements that are described between fig1 a and 1 b are continued between the fig1 b and 1 c . in fig1 c therefore the part 2 ′ of the horizontal panel has moved further upwards and outwards and the part of the horizontal panel 2 ″ is pivoted practically vertically upwards , while holder 8 with the visual screen / television device 3 has slid further upwards along bracket 9 and bracket 9 is pivoted upwards further so that it forms a larger angle with the horizontal plane . in fig1 d the upward movement of the holder 8 with the visual screen / television device 3 along bracket 9 has continued and also the erection of bracket 9 has continued to a position that is closer to the vertical position . the part 2 ′ of the top panel has moved back with respect to the position that is shown in fig1 c to a position that approximately coincides with the position that is shown in fig1 b and the same goes for the position of the part 2 ″ of the top panel . in fig1 e , finally , is shown that slide 7 is located in the second stationary position along guide 6 and the parts 2 ′ and 2 ″ are back to the horizontal starting position that is shown in fig1 a and the visual screen / television device 3 is now in the operating position . the movement of the visual screen / television device from the storage position to the operating position is illustrated in the fig2 a up to and inclusive 2 j . the parts that are playing an active role are best visible in the fig2 d and 2 i . with the electromotor 5 driving a further not visible screw spindle , slide 7 is moved over guide 6 from the first to the second stationary position . slide 7 is at pivot point 51 connected to bracket 9 along which holder 8 with visual screen / television device 3 is slidably movable . at pivot point 52 pivot arm 10 is pivotally attached to bracket 9 . pivot arm 10 comprises two identical parts that each are pivotally attached to one side of bracket 9 . the other end of pivot arm 10 is fixed to a horizontal yoke 11 that in its longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of bracket 9 . at each of the ends of yoke 11 a yoke leg 12 is fixed . each of the yoke legs 12 forms a right angle with yoke 11 so that the yoke legs 12 essentially are parallel to pivot arms 10 . at an end away from the yoke 11 , yoke legs 12 are pivotally attached to frame 4 in pivot points 53 . in the middle of yoke 11 a cable rod is fixed that stands off from yoke 11 approximately in a direction opposite to that of the pivot arm 10 . at the end of cable rod 13 away from yoke 11 a pulling cable 14 is attached that runs from cable rod 13 to an end of bracket 9 that is away from slide 7 , and pulling cable 14 runs from there and is attached to holder 8 . when starting from the stationary storage position using the electromotor 5 means the screw spindle moves slide 7 from the first stationary position to the second stationary position , then the combination of pivot arm 10 , yoke 11 and yoke legs 12 force bracket 9 to move from its almost lying starting position to a vertical position in which the visual screen / television device gets to its operating position . pulling cable 14 at the same time pulls holder 8 and the attached visual screen / television device 3 upwards along bracket 9 until the operating position that is displayed in fig2 i and 2 j . in the description of the parts of the moving arrangement and rod system that makes both parts of the horizontal panel move back and forwards , most parts are executed in pairs and one part at each side of the cabinet . both parts are identical and symmetrical with respect to a vertical centre plane of the cabinet . however , only one side will be described . the unit that is formed by pivot arm 10 , yoke 11 and yoke legs 12 is also responsible for driving the movement of both parts of the horizontal panel 2 ′, 2 ″. at the end of each of the yoke legs 12 that is away from the pivot point 53 , an end of the connection rod 15 is pivotally connected at pivot point 54 . at the other end connection rod 15 is pivotally connected with an end of the central rod 16 at pivot point 55 . central rod 16 is at the other end pivotally connected to the frame in pivot point 56 . central rod 16 that is moved via connection rod 15 by yoke legs 12 , is connected with those parts of the rod system that make move both parts 2 ′, 2 ″ of the horizontal panel . the major part of the horizontal panel , part 2 ′, is moved parallel to itself and keeps a horizontal position during the movement . through the objects that are located on part 2 ′ of the horizontal panel can remain there during movement of the panel . the parts that belong to the movement mechanism of part 2 ′ of the horizontal panel are being described with reference to fig3 b and 3 g . close to pivot point 55 one end of a first drive rod 17 is pivotally connected to a lip that extends from central rod 16 in pivot point 57 . the other end of the first drive rod 17 is pivotally connected to pivot point 58 of a lip near the end of the second drive rod 18 . second drive rod 18 is at the end that is lies near to pivot point 58 pivotally connected to frame 4 at pivot point 59 . at the other end the second drive rod 18 is pivotally attached to an end of the third drive rod 19 at pivot point 60 . the third drive rod 19 is at the other end pivotally attached to panel slide 20 at pivot point 61 . panel slide 20 is in its longitudinal direction slidably connected to panel guide 21 . further panel slide 20 is fixed to part 2 ′ of the horizontal panel via connection plate 22 . through the movements of central rod 16 , when this is driven as described before , via first drive rod 17 , second drive rod 18 and third drive rod 19 , as well as via panel guide 20 , part 2 ′ of the horizontal panel is moved from its starting position as is shown in fig3 a and 3 f to a position in which panel part 2 ′ partly comes to a position above and outside the cabinet so that a passage is being formed for visual screen / television device 3 with holder 8 and bracket 9 to move from the storage position to the operating position . in the second part of the movement as is shown in fig3 c - d and 3 h - j the panel moves back again to its starting position . during the whole movement panel part 2 ′ will maintain its horizontal position . further it will be clear that the part 2 ′ of the horizontal panel is only connected with frame 4 and therefore with cabinet 1 via connecting plates 22 and the moving mechanism . now , with reference to fig4 a and 4 f , those parts of the moving mechanism will be described that are responsible for moving the panel part 2 ″ of the horizontal panel . further it should be noted that in fig4 f an opening is visible in panel part 2 ″. in the storage position these opening are being filled by a part of panel 2 ″ that can swing away , which for the sake of clarity is not explicitly shown . this part that can swing away will during movement from the storage position to the operating position be pushed up by the pulling cable 14 and when returning from the operating position to the storage position be pulled in position again by a spring element that also is not explicitly shown . the movement of panel part 2 ″ will be described starting from the movement of the central rod 16 . the movement of the central rod 16 is described above and linked to the movement initiated by the drive via slide 7 . at a predetermined pivot point 62 at the central rod 16 an end of fourth drive rod 23 is connected pivotally . fourth drive rod 23 is at its other end pivotally connected with an end of toggle link 24 at pivot point 63 . toggle link 24 is near the toggle point of toggle link 24 pivotally connected with frame 4 in pivot point 64 . the other end of toggle link 24 is pivotally connected with an end of the fifth drive rod 25 in pivot point 65 . fifth drive rod 25 is at its other end pivotally connected with panel part 2 ″ in pivot point 66 . pivot point 66 is situated near the dividing line of panel part 2 ″ with panel part 2 ′ in the starting position . in fig4 a to 4 e and 4 f to 4 j can be seen that the panel part 2 ′ through the earlier described driven movement of the central rod 16 first moves from the horizontal position to a vertical position and subsequently returns again to the horizontal position . it should be noted here that panel part 2 ″ is pivotally connected to frame 4 in a way that is not further shown . its pivot axis lies near the end of the horizontal panel and is essentially parallel with the dividing line between panel 2 ′ and panel 2 ″. because in fig2 , 3 and 4 central rod 16 has the same position in the figures with the same letter indication , it is clear that the described movements take place simultaneously . in moving the visual screen / television device from the operating position to the storage position all movements that have been described above take place in the reverse direction . a possible exception to this is formed by the movement of holder 8 with visual screen / television device 3 downwards along the bracket 9 . this movement is caused by gravity . because the angle that bracket 9 in the storage position makes with the horizontal plane is smaller than 30 degrees , this angle can become so small ( in possible embodiments of the invention also 0 °) that the influence of the gravity is insufficient to move holder 8 and visual screen / television device 3 along bracket 9 . to prevent that holder 8 and visual screen / television device 3 get stuck prematurely , a cable roller 26 including a spring is mounted to frame 4 , next to electromotor 5 , see fig2 i . from cable roller 26 second pulling cable 27 runs along guide 6 , over a roller at the bottom side of bracket 9 and is connected to the bottom side of holder 8 . through the tension of the spring in cable role 26 a pulling force downward is executed on holder 8 and through this on visual screen / television device 3 , so that these always will return to the desired storage position , also when holder and visual screen / television device make a very small angle with the horizontal plane in this position . although an embodiment of the invention is shown , it will be clear that many variants to this are possible , e . g . by a slightly different embodiment of the rod systems . the same or similar movements can be achieved in equivalent ways without deviating of the attached claims . note that for the purposes of the claims , “ arrangement ” refers to reference numerals 4 - 27 ; “ means of movement ” refers to numerals 15 - 25 ; “ system of rods ” refers to numerals 11 - 13 and 15 - 25 ; “ drive ” refers to numerals 5 - 8 and unnumbered screw spindle ; and “ parts of arrangement below horizontal ” in the operating position refers to numerals 4 - 7 , 11 - 13 , and 15 - 25 .
