[0010]

In the drawer of the present invention having the above-mentioned contents, at least the three members of the front plate, the rear plate and the bottom plate are integrally formed. Therefore, at least the assembling work for connecting the three members is required. In the case of manufacturing drawers which can be made unnecessary and have different sizes, it is sufficient to change the sizes of at least three kinds of members, that is, one member consisting of a front plate, a rear plate and a bottom plate and two members of the left and right side plates. Then, the problem that each connecting portion of these members comes off as in the prior art is limited to the connecting portion with the left and right side plates, and the occurrence of trouble can be reduced.

By integrally forming the handle portion for pulling out over the width of the front plate on the left and right sides, the work of separately manufacturing the handle portion and attaching the separately formed handle portion can be omitted. It is possible to increase the shape retention strength of the front plate itself to which the operation load is most applied when it is pulled out or stored, and it becomes unnecessary to attach a reinforcing member or the like to the front plate.

By integrally forming a partition plate in a vertical position for partitioning the drawer storage space on the bottom plate, it is possible to omit the work of separately manufacturing the partition plate and attaching the partition plate formed separately.

Since the left and right side plates are members oriented along the front-rear direction, the shape retention strength against the load due to the front-back contact is greater than the shape retention strength against the load due to the left-right contact, and the front plate is Since the member is in the posture along the left-right direction, the shape-retaining strength against the load due to the abutment in the front-back direction is smaller than the shape-retaining strength against the load due to the abutment in the left-right direction. For this reason, when the push-in storage position of the drawer is regulated from the front-rear direction, by providing abutment type stoppers on the left and right side plates, which are more advantageous than the front plate in terms of shape retention strength, a separately formed reinforcing member, etc. Even without attaching, it is possible to sufficiently secure the shape retention strength required for contacting.

By fitting caps from both sides into the inner space formed by the grips at both ends of the grips, the front surface of the side plate can be covered and the grips can be gripped to move the drawer. At this time, part or all of the force in the twisting direction that acts on the grip portion is adjusted by the fitting force between the first extending portion of the cap and the grip portion and the contact force between the second extending portion and the front plate. Can be offset.
