Description

CABINET STORAGE EQUIPMENT WITH DRAWERS FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates in general to a cabinet or cabinet set with drawers constructed of plastic structural panels. More specifically, the present invention relates to a stackable modular cabinet constructed of injection molded plastic panels to contain at least one removable drawer, and which is capable of being packaged and shipped in a disassembled state and constructed in a cabinet with safe drawers in a desired location. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Everywhere in the home there is a need to store a large variety of different items. This is particularly true for garage and service areas where a wide range of products are usually stored for a selected use. The accumulation of these various objects and products results in a need for adequate storage of those items when they are not in use. Various cabinets to store items such as gardening tools, food supplies, household items and the like are well known. One of the most popular type of cabinets for storing household items is a cabinet with a plurality of drawers of unhook Cabinets of this type are usually shipped to a fully assembled customer or distributor. Embarking fully assembled furniture requires a considerable amount of space available within the shipping medium. Since space is limited, the cost associated with boarding cabinets is comparatively high. Alternatively, cabinet assemblies with drawers are custom built for customers based on their needs. With customized cabinets, the customer selects the cabinet material, the size of the associated drawers, and the drawer guides needed to guide the drawers in and out of the cabinet. Throughout history, numerous devices have been used to guide the drawers inside and outside the cabinets with drawers. The simplest mechanism of all is a box in which the drawer slides. Other control methods include rails on each side of the box or a single rail under the bottom of the drawer with slots to hold the drawer and align with the cabinet. All these basic guide systems have high levels of friction between the drawer and the cabinet and, consequently, deteriorate rapidly. Several low friction devices have been designed to facilitate the movement of the drawers inside and outside the cabinets including ball bearings, wheels, and sliding devices. Most of these low friction devices require unsightly rails along the side of the drawers, and wide spaces between the sides of the drawers and the drawer face to allow low-friction devices to pass from inside the cabinets of drawers to the outside when the drawers are extended. The gap or lateral play of the drawer when it is extended is another complicated problem, in particular in the basic forms of drawer guides. Frequently the drawers must be moved from side to side and up and down in order to make them return to the cabinet with drawers. As the guides wear out. The problem becomes even more severe. Even drawer sliding devices using rollers, ball bearings and sliding devices have clogging problems, especially when the drawers are heavily loaded or the sliding parts have been slightly worn. Ball bearing-type drawer slides cause a different problem. Since there is virtually no lateral play in a sliding ball bearing, the drawer cabinet must be perfectly aligned with the slide to eliminate jamming when the drawers move in and out. Work is required and expert time to properly position a slide or ball bearing slide. The manufacturing costs of low friction slider arrays are another problem. Slipper arrangements should be specially manufactured for each different length of the drawers. A long drawer requires an arrangement of long slides and a short drawer requires an arrangement of short sliders. Manufacturers require keeping stocks of many different lengths of drawer slides or modifying the slides for each customer. Full-extension drawer slides are a variation of typical drawer slides and are used to allow full drawer extension, so that drawer bottoms are fully accessible. Such drawer guides usually use three or more rails, with a rail (the cabinet rail) that attaches to the cabinet, a rail (the drawer rail) that attaches to the drawer, and a rail (the floating rail) that slides between the rails of the drawer and the cabinet. Examples of such drawer guides are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 1,537,067, Tobey, 2,099,148, Schaffert, 1,129,831, Bullock et al., 3,203,749, Vander Ley, 4,004,841, Lautenschalanger 5, 733,027, Fleish, 5,895,102, Fraccaro. , 6,390,574. In these Systems, rollers or ball bearings are provided on rails between the floating rail and the cabinet and drawer rails to provide free sliding movement between each of the rails. One of the problems associated with such systems is that they tend to be rather large and bulky, which limits their use to small drawers. In addition, such systems are relatively complicated and difficult to manufacture, resulting in high costs for customers. Such prior art systems have not met all of the manufacturers' needs to provide a product that can be manufactured, packaged and shipped easily, or the needs of customers that require assembled storage assemblies at the customer's own and versatile. In addition, since prior art devices are not dismantled, they are difficult and expensive to ship from the distributor to the customer. The most important among such needs is the ease of assembling equipment, which can be easily assembled by an average homeowner. The structure is one more consideration; A cabinet formed of separate panels should create cabinet walls which resist separation, buckling and deformation of the panels, so that the entire compartment is unified.

Also, from a point of view of versatility, a drawer and cooperative guides must be presented which can be easily assembled or modified after the assembly of the side, top, base and rear panels, and which provide security and reliable access to the contents of the drawers without the complexity and difficulty to assemble the mechanisms associated with the previous technique.

There are also commercial considerations that must be met by any viable cabinet or drawer system or equipment; the considerations that are not completely satisfied by the products of the state of the art. The cabinet with drawers should be made up of relatively few component parts that are cheap to manufacture by conventional techniques. The drawer cabinet must also be capable of being packed and shipped in an unarmed state.

In addition, there are ergonomic needs that a cabinet system with drawers must satisfy in order to achieve acceptance by the end user. The system must be assembled easily and quickly using minimum implements and requiring a minimum number of tools. In addition, the system should not require excessive force for assembly or include heavy components. In addition, the system must be assembled in such a way that it did not devalue the internal storage volume of the resulting wall cabinet or that negatively affects otherwise the utility of the cabinet with drawers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an assembly, or equipment of injection molded panels having integrated connectors which combine to form a drawer cabinet with integrally formed guide rails and cooperative drawers supported on a plurality of rollers. . The cabinet panels are formed from injection molded plastic and include connectors integrally formed to join with each other without the need for separate fasteners. The integrated connection of the side, bottom, top and base panels simplifies the construction of the drawer cabinet and minimizes the number of components required to mount the drawer cabinet. The injection molding allows the panels to be formed with ribs and folds, cross reinforcement, integrals to increase their rigidity. When supplied as a package, cabinet assembly with drawers requires minimal implements and a minimum number of hand tools. The cabinet assembly with drawers includes a base panel, left and right side panels and a top panel. The base panel is constructed with poles of beaded, outwardly extending, integrally formed, for cooperative coupling connection with the receptacles formed on the lower surfaces of the left and right side panels.

Each channel is constructed and arranged to accept a drawer guide rail, dependent, externally in a cooperative arrangement to prevent the drawer from tipping during extension and insertion thereof. The base panel includes a plurality of rollers secured within the base panel in a manner cooperating with the bottom surface of the drawer member, allowing the drawer to be easily moved when loaded. In a preferred embodiment, a first pair of rollers is positioned to support the front portion of the drawer member and a second pair of rollers is positioned to support the rear portion of the drawer. The lace construction minimizes the complexity of completing the assembly while increasing versatility by allowing the customer to customize the assembly for their specific needs. The integrated construction of the drawer guide channels and rollers eliminates the need for an expert to align and mount complicated accessories in the cabinet. In this way, the customer can select one or a plurality of drawer cabinets having various heights, fitting the panels together in the desired configuration, and then slide in the drawers to complete the assembly. The drawers are pre-constructed of polymeric material and include a pair of integrally formed handles, which allow a removed drawer to be easily transported. The lower surface of the drawer members is adapted to cooperate with the rollers for easy movement in and out of the cabinet even when they are heavily loaded. In addition, the lower surface of the drawer members includes an alignment recess adapted to cooperate with the upper surface of the upper panel of the cabinet for fixed, removable placement outside the cabinet. In operation, when a loaded drawer pulls this wheel out freely on the rollers, using the rail and channel combination to prevent the drawer from tipping over. This construction allows the drawers to be easily opened with a lot of load without requiring complex sliding rail mechanisms to avoid the overturning of the drawer. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a polymeric drawer cabinet assembly having integrally formed guide assemblies and at least one cooperative drawer.
