Definitions

  • This invention relates to a drawer unit and more particularly to a modular drawer unit which can be assembled to form a stack.
  • stackable drawer units are available, many of which are held together by a frame or are permanently mounted in a fixed arrangement.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide a modular drawer unit which can be used individually or can be readily assembled or dismantled with other units to produce an attractive assembly.
  • At least one modular drawer unit comprising a generally rectangular housing with a removable upper wall and a drawer slidable in the housing, wherein the drawer has friction reducing means to facilitate the sliding movement of the drawer relative to the housing the drawer front having a replaceable fascia.
  • the friction means are separate roller or rollers located in recesses in the housing or drawer unit respectively.
  • the drawer in a preferred construction has releasable means to hold the drawer in its closed position.
  • the removable upper wall of the housing has a plurality of recesses to facilitate location and assembly of a modular unit stacked above a lower modular unit.
  • the or each modular unit has sockets to receive removable castors to support a single or lower modular unit in an assembly, or stack to allow for the transportation of the single unit or stack.
  • the sides and fascia for the drawer may include ornamental surface decoration.
  • the sides and rear walls of the housing have recesses for form handles to lift and carry the or each unit.
  • the lower wall of the housing conveniently has integrally moulded projections when extend below the lower wall of the housing to locate in the recesses in the upper wall of the housing.
  • the drawer facia has an aperture through which projects a handle moulded in the front of the drawer.
  • the modular drawer unit comprises a generally rectangular housing 1 with a removable upper wall 2. Sliding within the housing is a drawer 3 which is supported on separate rollers 4 located within arcuate recesses 5. Grooves 6 are moulded in the base of the drawer 3 to guide the rollers 4 on opening and closing of the drawer 3.
  • the modular drawer unit may be mounted on removable castors 7 having spigots 8 which locate in sockets (not shown) moulded in the base of the housing 1.
  • the inner rear wall 9 of the housing has a moulded catch in the form of a resilient prong 10 which engages the upper edge of the rear wall 11 of the drawer 3.
  • the drawer 3 rests in the closed position by location of recesses (not shown) in the base of the housing 1.
  • the housing 1 and drawer 3 are moulded from ABS plastics material providing rigid and robust mouldings which can be manufactured to close tolerances.
  • the sides and, in larger drawer units, the rear wall have integrally moulded handles 12.
  • the area surrounding the handles 12 is moulded with a surface pattern of vertical ribs 13.
  • the front of the drawer 3 is fitted with a facia plate 14 with an aperture 15 through which a handle 16, moulded with the front wall of the draw, passes.
  • the area of the fascia surrounding the handle is moulded with the same surface ornamentation in the form of ribs 17 as the side and rear walls of the housing.
  • the facia plate 14 has a circular hole 18 passing therethrough in which is located a pivot pin 19 of a latch 20.
  • the end of the pin having a slot 21 to pivot the latch 20 into engagement with the housing 1 to lock the drawer in the housing.
  • the upper wall 2 of the housing 1 has a series of lateral grooves 22 which serve as locating recesses for integrally moulded projections 23 formed in the base of an upper module stacked thereon.
  • a number of modules can be stacked one above the other as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the individual modules can be of different widths and heights to provide a variety of modules which can be assembled to fit a particular requirement.
  • the modular drawer units have a wide variety of uses, for example, they may be used as individual storage units on a desk in an office environment or as a stack below a desk surface. Another use would be as a stack of three modules forming a bedside cabinet. One or more wide modules can also be positioned under the bed to store e.g ., bed linen. A matching assembly of the modules can be located in a wardrobe to store small items of clothing or shoes.
  • modular drawer unit can be moulded in different colour ABS, for example, the removable upper wall of the housing and the drawer facia plate may be made in one colour and the housing and drawer of another colour.
  • the whole of the module can be made in one colour so that the assembly can be made up of different colour units to provide attractive and robust items for storage.
