Description

  The present invention relates to a drawer storage structure provided in a kitchen cabinet, a kitchen cabinet, a drawer for the kitchen cabinet, and an accessory case for the kitchen cabinet.

  As a drawer storage structure provided in the kitchen cabinet, there is a structure in which the drawer can be put in and out through a slide rail fixed in the opening (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  With a slide rail use-in / out structure, when the drawer is pulled out, only the engaging portion between the slide rail and the bottom plate will support the weight of the drawer and stored items. If the storage is heavy, the bottom plate will be deformed. There is a fear. Therefore, it becomes impossible to draw out the drawer containing the heavy stored item so much, and it becomes difficult to take out and confirm the stored item placed in the back.

If a two-stage telescopic rail, which is often used in office cabinets, is used, it becomes possible to pull out the drawer as a whole, but this has the disadvantage that the rail structure is complicated and the cost is high.
