Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of cabinets and, particularly, to a drawer slide assembly.
  • Cabinet drawers of one type operably move in horizontal direction between their open and closed positions.
  • Cabinet drawers of another type operably move in tilting direction between their open and closed positions and have front ends located lower than rear ends.
  • the drawers that move in tilting direction can be opened easily.
  • the drawers can be forced to open unintendedly by object(s) stored therein if the object(s) are positioned too close to the front ends of the drawers.
  • DE 10 201 242 A1 describes a locking system for drawer comprising L-shaped spring which fits on corner of the drawer and is held in place by clamping strip supported by retaining strip released by drawer handle.
  • the present invention is, therefore, intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in the prior art.
  • a drawer slide assembly includes a frame including a pair of connecting portions and a pair of guide portions connected to the pair of connecting portions respectively.
  • a drawer is slidably engaged with and disposed between the pair of guide portions.
  • the drawer defines a receptacle and includes a catch located on a bottom side thereof and outside of the receptacle.
  • a first elastic member has a first end secured to one of the pair of guide portions, is inserted through and held by the catch, and has a second end secured to the other of the pair of guide portions.
  • the drawer is movable to a closed position and an open position and is under tension of the first elastic member.
  • the tension of first elastic member increases as the drawer moves from the closed position to the open position.
  • Figs. 1 through 7 show a drawer slide assembly in accordance with the present invention.
  • a frame 10 includes a pair of connecting portions 11 and a pair of guide portions 12 connected to the pair connecting portions 11 respectively.
  • the pair of guide portions 12 is tilted with respect to the pair of connecting portions 11 connected thereto. Included angles between the pair of guide portions 12 and the pair of connecting portions 11 connected thereto are less than 90 degrees.
  • Each of the pair of guide portions 12 has a rear end 121 and a front end 122 located lower than the rear end 121.
  • the rear ends 121 of the pair of guide portions 12 are releasably connectible to the pair of connecting portions 11.
  • the rear ends 121 of the pair of guide portions 12 are releasably connected to the pair of connecting portions 11 respectively when the pair of guide portions 12 are releasably connected to the pair of connecting portions 11 respectively.
  • a drawer 20 is slidably engaged with and disposed between the pair of guide portions 12.
  • the drawer 20 defines a receptacle 22 and includes a catch 21 located on a bottom side thereof and outside of the receptacle 22.
  • a first elastic member 30 has a first end secured to one of the pair of guide portions 12, is inserted through and held by the catch 21, and has a second end secured to the other of the pair of guide portions 12.
  • the first elastic member 30 is an elastic rope.
  • Two fasteners 31 are adapted to receive the first and second ends of the first elastic member 30 and to releasably connect to the pair of guide portions 12 respectively.
  • first elastic member 30 is releasably connected to the pair of guide portions 12 through the two fasteners 31
  • one of the two fasteners 31 receives the first end of the first elastic member 30 and is releasably connected to one of the pair of guide portions 12, and the other of the two fasteners 31 receives the second end of the first elastic member 30 and is releasably connected to the other of the pair of guide portions 12.
  • the pair of guide portions 12 each has a hole, and the two fasteners 31 each have a connecting portion releasably engagable in the hole of the guide portion 12 connected thereto.
  • the drawer 20 is movable to a closed position and an open position and is under tension of the first elastic member 30.
  • the drawer 20 moves in tilting direction between the open and closed positions thereof.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 clearly show the sliding direction SD of drawer 20 is in a tilting direction.
  • the first elastic member 30 has a first length when the drawer 20 is in the closed position.
  • the first elastic member 30 is stretched and has a second length when the drawer 20 is in the open position. The second length is longer than the first length. Consequently, the tension of first elastic member 30 increases as the drawer 20 moves from the closed position to the open position.
  • the drawer 20 is adapted to be sustained by a positioning device 40.
  • the positioning device 40 includes at least one stop member fixed to the frame 10 for obstructing a movement of the drawer 20 and an actuator 41 pivotally connected to the drawer 20 and operably pivotal to position for selectively engaging with the at least one stop member, thereby stopping the movement of the drawer 20.
  • the actuator 41 has a front end portion 411, a rear end portion 412 opposing the front end portion 411, and a middle portion 413 between the front and rear end portions 411 and 412.
  • the middle portion 413 of the actuator 41 is pivotally connected to the drawer 20.
  • the front end portion 411 of the actuator 41 provides a control input such that the actuator 41 is operably pivotal from the control input.
  • the rear end portion 412 of the actuator 41 is selectively engagable with the at least one stop member.
  • the rear end portion 412 of the actuator 41 is engaged with the at least one stop member when the at least one stop member stops the movement of the drawer 20.
  • the at least one stop member includes at least one first stop member 42 fixed to one of the pair of guide portions 12.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the drawer 20 is sustained in the closed position and is prevented from being opened when the actuator 41 is engaged with the at least one first stop member 42.
  • the actuator 41 is engaged with a first surface 421 of the at least one first stop member 42 when the drawer 20 is sustained in the closed position.
  • the at least one first stop member 42 has a small leading end and a large trailing end and includes a second surface 422 being contiguous and angled with respect to the first surface 421 at an angle less than 90 degrees.
  • Fig. 5 shows that the drawer 20 is able to be opened when the actuator 41 is disengaged from the at least one first stop member 42.
  • Fig. 5 shows the length of at least one second elastic member 44 is longer than that shown in Fig. 4 . Consequently, the tension of at least one second elastic member 44 increases as the actuator 41 is being moved to disengage from the at least one first stop member 42.
  • the at least one stop member also includes at least one second stop member 43 fixed to one of the pair of guide portions 12. Fig.
  • FIG. 7 shows that the drawer 20 is sustained in the open position and is prevented from being closed when the actuator 41 is engaged with the at least one second stop member 43.
  • the actuator 41 is engaged with a first surface 431 of the at least one second stop member 43 when the drawer 20 is sustained in the open position.
  • the at least one second stop member 43 has a large leading end and a small trailing end and includes a second surface 432 being contiguous and angled with respect to the first surface 421 at an angle less than 90 degrees.
  • the drawer 20 is able to be closed when the actuator 41 is disengaged from the at least one second stop member 43.
  • Fig. 6 shows the drawer 20 is opened and the actuator 41 is disengaged from the at least one first stop member 42.
  • Fig. 6 also shows the actuator 41 is disengaged from the at least one second stop member 43.
  • the actuator 41 is in the form of a frame and defines a through hole allowing the first elastic member 30 to be held by the catch (21) located on one of opposite sides of the actuator 41 and secured to the pair of guide portions 12 located on another of the opposite sides of the actuator 41.
  • the positioning device 40 includes at least one second elastic member 44 counteracting a force applied to the front end portion 411 of the actuator 41.
  • the at least one second elastic member 44 has a first end secured to the actuator 41 and a second end secured to the drawer 20 respectively.
  • the at least one second elastic member 44 is a torsion spring.
  • the drawer 20 moves in tilting direction and can be opened easily. Furthermore, the first elastic member 30 prevents the drawer 20 from being forced to open when object(s) held in the drawer 20 are positioned too close to a front end of the drawer 20.
