Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An up-assist/soft close support mechanism for a cabinet door that opens by moving upwardly and then rearwardly to a partly horizontal position above the cabinet. The mechanism includes pairs of unequal length links on opposite end walls of the cabinet. One of those links is designed as a bell crank. A gas cylinder is coupled between one arm of the bell crank and the cabinet end wall, while the second arm of the bell crank is connected to the door. When a user begins to open the door, the gas cylinder exerts a turning movement about the bell crank which assists opening movement of the door. Conversely, when a user begins to close the door, the bell crank turns in the opposite direction and exerts a compressive force on the cylinder, providing a "soft close" function.
