[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of drawer units to be used in a stack are readily available, and many of them are supported by a single frame as a whole or removed in a fixed arrangement. Impossible.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a modular drawer unit that is easy to separate and assemble, and can be removed from other units to create an aesthetically pleasing assembly. It is.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A modular drawer unit according to the present invention comprises at least one modular drawer unit comprising a rectangular housing having a removable upper surface and a drawer which can slide into the housing. Then, the drawer is provided with friction reducing means for allowing the drawer to slide with respect to the housing, and a fascia plate fitted to the front surface of the drawer is attached.

It is preferable that the upper surface of the housing and the fascia plate of the drawer are fitted into the housing and the drawer by friction, respectively.

The friction reducing means includes a roller or rollers which can be detached, and a groove for moving the roller.
Each is provided in the housing or the drawer.

[0007] The preferred structure of the drawer is to have release means for holding the drawer in the retracted position in the housing.

[0008] The detachable upper surface of the housing is provided with a plurality of narrow grooves for preventing lateral displacement when another modular drawer unit is stacked on the lower modular drawer unit.

One or more modular units are provided with sockets for attaching casters for movement to support one or more modular units and facilitate transport of one or more modular units in an assembled state. .

Decoration can be provided on both sides of the housing and on the surface of the drawer fascia plate.

In the preferred construction of each modular drawer unit, recesses are formed on both sides and the back of the housing to form handles to facilitate lifting and carrying each unit.

A projection is provided on the lower side of the lower surface of the housing, and the projection is fitted into a narrow groove provided on the upper surface of the housing that is placed under the housing to prevent lateral displacement during stacking.

A hole is made in the fascia plate of the drawer, and a handle provided on the front surface of the drawer is passed through the hole to protrude outward.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The modular drawer unit comprises a rectangular housing 1 having a detachable upper surface 2 and a drawer 3 which slides in the housing. The drawer 3 is provided inside a base surface of the housing 1. It is supported by a plurality of freely detachable rollers 4 fitted in concaves 5 on the drawn arc, and these rollers are guided along a groove 6 provided on the base surface of the drawer 3 so that the drawer 3 is supported.
Is pulled out or pulled in from the housing 1.

In this modular drawer unit, detachable casters 7 can be attached to the bottom surface of the housing 1, and these casters have a support shaft 8, which is formed on the base surface of the housing 1. Into a socket (not shown). On the inside 9 on the back of the housing there is a hook molded in the form of a resilient limb 10, which hook joins the upper edge of the back 11 of the drawer 3. The drawer 3 remains in the retracted position by a recess (not shown) in the base surface of the housing 1.

[0016] The housing 1 and the drawer 3 are formed into a firm and solid molded product which can be formed so as to close the tolerance.
It is made of BS synthetic resin material. Handles 12 are formed on both sides of the housing 1, especially on the back side of the large drawer unit.
The surface pattern of No. 3 is molded.

A fascia plate 14 is fitted into the front surface of the drawer 3, and a hole 15 is formed in the fascia plate 14, and a handle 16 formed and formed on the front surface of the drawer is passed through the hole 15. Protrude outward. On the peripheral surface of the handle 16 of the fascia plate 14, vertical stripes 17 are formed in the same manner as the side surfaces and the rear surface of the housing 1.

On the fascia plate 14, the support shaft 1 of the
9 is provided, and an elongated groove 21 is provided on the end surface of the support shaft 19, and a hook 20 is externally inserted through the elongated groove 21 to lock the drawer 3 in the housing 1. By turning, the latch 20 is hooked on both side surfaces of the housing 1 and the drawer 3 is locked in the housing 1 at the retracted position.

While a plurality of narrow grooves 22 are provided on the upper surface of the housing 1, projections 23 are provided on the lower surface of the base bottom surface of the housing 1, and the two are fitted to each other to prevent lateral displacement during stacking. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, a large number of modules can be stacked. By providing various modules having different widths and heights of each module, it is possible to assemble according to special requirements.

The modular drawer unit according to the invention has a wide range of uses, for example, in an office environment, it can be used individually as a storage unit on a desk, or stacked under a desk, or It can be used as a three-tiered stack to form a cabinet beside the bed, and if it is a wide and thin module, it can be placed under a bed for use in a mattress or the like. If the assembly is a module having the same standard, the module can be placed in a clothing room and used for accessories such as clothing and shoes.

[0021] The modular drawer unit according to the present invention can be molded with ABS resin of different colors.
For example, the detachable upper surface of the housing and the fascia plate of the drawer can be made in a common color, and the other housings and drawers can be made in other colors and combined.

Alternatively, if all the modules are arranged in the same color and units of different colors are arranged at the time of assembling and laminating, it is attractive and attractive, but a solid gem for storage.
