Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drawered container of plastic material.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a modular plastic drawered container which can be combined with others to obtain the desired spatial configuration.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a drawered container which can be added to already formed spatial configurations to modify them in accordance with changed user requirements.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a drawered container which can be stacked together with others, independently of their length, to provide so-called totem structures.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a drawered container which, although using a small number of standard components, can have different heights.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a drawered container which combines high rigidity and indeformablity with a very low weight.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a drawered container comprising a draw extraction travel limiter.
  • the container of the invention consists essentially of two basic components: an outer casing 2 and a drawer 4 insertable into the casing 2 and withdrawable therefrom.
  • the outer casing 2 is formed from two half-shells 6, 6', each consisting of a piece of C-shaped honeycombed profile.
  • the two pieces are identical, their free longitudinal edges, i.e. the edges of the two side flanges, having a complementary profile, with one of the two edges comprising a rib 8 of mushroom cross-section and the other edge comprising two lips 10 defining a groove for receiving said rib 8, so that when the two half-shells 6, 6' are disposed opposing each other, each rib 8 corresponds with a groove and the two half-shells can be securely connected together either by longitudinal insertion or by snap engagement.
  • the two V-shaped half-shells 6, 6' can be replaced by two L-shaped half-shells, or by four flat panels which when suitably joined together along their adjacent longitudinal edges form the outer casing 2.
  • these Independently of the shape of the elements forming said outer casing 2, these can also be in the form not of a honeycomb profile but of a solid profile, possibly of expanded material.
  • the outer casing 2 also comprises a rear panel 12, formed of moulded plastic material and comprising a rectangular plate 14 bounded perimetrally by an edge comprising a plurality of appendices 16 forcibly insertable into honeycomb cavities of the two half-shells 6, 6', when these are connected together.
  • the casing 2 of the container according to the invention also comprises a front frame 18, also formed of moulded plastic material. It is in the form of a continuous rectangular ring provided with a plurality of appendices 20 of shape substantially similar to the appendices 16 of the rear panel 12 and able to be forcibly inserted into honeycomb cavities of the two half-shells 6, 6' to securely fix the frame 18 to the casing 2.
  • the frame 18 On its upper horizontal side, the frame 18 is provided with a pair of small appendices which project downwards towards the interior of the casing 2 to form, as will be apparent hereinafter, a stop for the drawer 4 at maximum extraction from the casing 2.
  • the described casing 2 is of perfectly parallelepiped form with rounded longitudinal corners and perfectly flat outer walls, of which the two horizontal walls are in one piece whereas the two side walls are obtained by joining together the corresponding side flanges of the two C-shaped honeycomb half-shells.
  • connection means 8 and 10 provided within the thickness of the C-shaped half-shells, substantial surface continuity of said walls is obtained in spite of the fact that each side wall of the casing 2 is formed from two parts, hence facilitating printability of the casing or application of a sheet or film material or other decorative coverings in general. These in particular can be applied during the extrusion of the honeycomb profiles and hence without requiring additional working steps.
  • the rear panel 12 of the casing 2 is also provided, in the central region of the horizontal sides of its perimetral edge 15, with two seats 23, 24 for the snap insertion of, respectively, the vertical flange 25 and the horizontal flange 26 of an L-shaped hook 27 for securing together two superposed casings 2.
  • a similar securing system can also be provided for securing together two horizontally side-by-side casings along the central region of the vertical sides of their perimetral edge 15.
  • the seat 24 provided in the perimetral edge of the rear panel 12 can also be advantageously used to receive a connection element similar to the horizontal flange 26 of the hook 27, which has previously been applied to a fixed structure such as the back of a wardrobe or to a wall, to securely fix the casing 2 to it.
  • Two seats 28 are also provided in the central region of the perimetral sides of the frame 18, for the snap insertion of the two flanges of a C-shaped hook 29 provided to fix the two superposed casings 2 together; again in this case a similar connection system can be used to fix together two horizontally side-by-side casings 2 along their adjacent vertical sides.
  • the rear panel 12 of the casing 2 is provided with a plurality of apertures 42 to facilitate ventilation of the products contained in the drawer.
  • the second basic component of the container of the invention consists, as stated, of a drawer 4 withdrawably housable within the casing 2.
  • the drawer 4 consists of a parallelepiped tray of moulded plastic material and comprises a base 30, two side walls 32, a front panel 34 and a rear panel 36.
  • the front panel 34 can be advantageously provided with a gripping aperture 38 to facilitate extraction of the drawer 4 from the casing 2.
  • a front cover 40 can also be applied to the front panel 34, by hooking, by snap insertion or by sliding from above, to personalize the drawer 4 and hence the entire container, and which can be provided with a gripping aperture or handle.
  • the drawer 4 can be formed without a front panel and this be formed separately and removably, and interchangeably applied to the remaining part of the drawer.
  • a pair of longitudinal ribs 44 are provided on the lower surface of the base 30 of the drawer 4, to cooperate with ribs 46 provided on the inner surface of the two C-shaped half-shells 6, 6' of the casing 2, to ensure regular longitudinal sliding movement of the drawer 4 along the casing 2.
  • a pair of upwardly facing appendices are provided on the rear panel 36 of the drawer 4 to cooperate with the appendices 22 of the frame 18, in order to form stop elements for the drawer 4 at maximum extraction from the casing 2.
