Reversica’s New Plasma/LCD Concealment Hardware is “Like Adding another Room to Your House.”
Design uses unusual ‘rotaxial’ motion to flip a 50” flat screen TV 180° and reveal a bookcase on the other side – all in a slim 18” case. One minute you’re watching TV and – spin the Gyre around – the next minute your home theater is now a library and you’re ready for book club night. The space could also be used for DVDs or as a display for collectibles.
High Point, NC (PRWEB) April 16, 2005 -- A California company is turning
heads in the home entertainment furniture market with the introduction of their
Gyre 6300 flat screen concealment hardware system.
“It’s like adding
another room to your house,” said Cynthia Miyashita, president of Berkeley
Mills, with a smile when she saw the utility of the Gyre turning a home
entertainment room into a private library.
With a motion described as
‘rotaxial’ by Reversica’s CEO and the product’s inventor, Bill Stone, the motion
hardware allows a 50” plasma or LCD screen television to twist completely around
revealing a bookcase with 12 linear feet of space. One minute you’re watching TV
and – spin the Gyre around – the next minute your home theater is now a library
and you’re ready for book club night. The space could also be used for DVDs or
as a display for collectibles.
Use Space Better
The Gyre doesn’t
pivot like a Lazy Susan but swings out, tracing a teardrop pattern and returning
to its original location, only reversed. Because of its unique design, all this
takes place in a case about 18” thick. Many are surprised the case can turn
around in something so slim.
“Calling the Gyre’s motion ‘rotaxial’ is the
best way to describe its unique spinning and gliding action,” said
Stone.
“Everyone who has seen it agrees,” Stone said, “you can’t describe
the Gyre’s elegant motion with words alone. It’s unexpected and familiar all at
once. You have to see it in action.”
