Abstract
A partitioning system for a drawer, having partitions and dividers with ends provided with side flanges projecting therefrom and forming L-like end extensions when viewed from above. Interlocking strips projecting along inner sides of the peripheral walls of the drawer and on sides of the partitions, have a series of inwardly L-shaped vertical slots adapted to slidably receive one of the L-like end extensions of the partitions or the dividers in horizontal interlocking engagement.
Description
- The present invention relates to drawer partitioning, and more particularly to a drawer partitioning system and a fastening arrangement therefor. The partitioning system according to the present invention is particularly useful for modular drawers in a tool cabinet and for other storage equipment having drawers or trays.
- Modular and other kinds of drawers are often partitioned by a system of partitions and dividers for facilitating the organization of the content to be stored or for other purposes. One popular type of partitioning system consists of vertical slots on the peripheral wall of the drawer which can receive partitions. The partitions are also provided with slots for receiving dividers possibly made of a mere sheet of steel which may have longitudinal folds for strengthening purposes. This type of system is simple and functional but has various drawbacks. Because of the impacts between the content and the back of the drawer caused by the repeated closing of the drawer, the back can bend backwards and the partitions can then disengage. If the compartments on one side of a partition are loaded while the compartments on the other side of the partition are not, the loads may cause the dividers and the partition to bend and disengage. The slotted partitioning strips extending on the side peripheral walls of the drawer and on the partitions create a loss of storage space. Indeed, each partitioning strip has a thickness of approximately 6.35 mm (¼ inch) to provide slots having a sufficient depth for holding the partitions in place. As a result, the more partitions are used, the more important the loss of space is. In a typical drawer, the loss of space caused solely by the presence of the partitioning strips can easily stands between 5% and 10% of the total storage space of the drawer. The thickness of the partitioning strips can hardly be reduced because the aforementioned disengagement problems would then be amplified.
- Examples of prior art partitioning systems are given in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,145,106 (Anderson), U.S. Pat. No. 2,214,042 (Burdick), U.S. Pat. No. 4,595,246 (Bross), U.S. Pat. No. 5,553,710 (Takama), U.S. Pat. No. 5,664,856 (Pacetti), and U.S. Pat. No. 6,073,794 (Bidot). In general, the partitioning systems are relatively complex, occupy important space in the drawer, or require special drawer structural arrangements.
- An object of the invention is to provide a drawer partitioning system and a fastening arrangement therefor which are simple, efficient and have a considerably reduced thickness so as to occupy minimum space in the drawer.
- An object of the invention is to provide such a drawer partitioning system and fastening arrangement therefor which may additionally strengthen the drawer's structure.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a fastening arrangement for fastening a partition to peripheral walls of a drawer, comprising interlocking vertical side flanges projecting from respective ends of the partition and forming L-like end extensions of the partition when viewed from above, and interlocking strips projecting along respective ones of the peripheral walls of the drawer on inner sides thereof, each of the interlocking strips having a series of inwardly L-shaped vertical slots adapted to slidably receive one of the L-like end extensions of the partition in horizontal interlocking engagement.
- According to the present invention, there is also provided a fastening arrangement for fastening a divider to a partition of a drawer, comprising interlocking vertical side flanges projecting from respective ends of the divider and forming L-like end extensions of the divider when viewed from above, and an interlocking strip projecting along the partition on one side thereof, the interlocking strip having a series of inwardly L-shaped vertical slots adapted to slidably receive one of the L-like end extensions of the divider in horizontal interlocking engagement.
- According to the present invention, there is also provided a partitioning system for a drawer with peripheral and bottom walls, comprising one or more partitions each having interlocking vertical side flanges projecting from respective ends of the partition and forming L-like end extensions of the partition when viewed from above, and interlocking strips projecting along respective ones of the peripheral walls of the drawer on inner sides thereof, each of the interlocking strips having a series of inwardly L-shaped vertical slots adapted to slidably receive one of the L-like end extensions of the partition in horizontal interlocking engagement.
- The partitioning system may further comprise dividers having interlocking vertical side flanges projecting from respective ends of the divider and forming L-like end extensions of the divider when viewed from above, and an interlocking strip projecting along the partition on one side thereof, the interlocking strip having a series of inwardly L-shaped vertical slots adapted to slidably receive one of the L-like end extensions of the divider in horizontal interlocking engagement.
- A detailed description of preferred embodiments will be given herein below with reference to the following drawings, in which like numbers refer to like elements:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective partial view of a partitioning system according to the present invention; and
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a partition according to the present invention.
- Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a partitioning system for a
drawer 2 with peripheral andbottom walls - As best shown in FIG. 2, a
partition 8 for the partitioning system according to the present invention has interlockingvertical side flanges 10 projecting from respective ends of thepartition 8 and forming L-like end extensions of thepartition 8 when viewed from above. - Referring back to FIG. 1, interlocking
strips 12 project along respective ones of theperipheral walls 4 of thedrawer 2 on inner sides of it. Eachinterlocking strip 12 has a series of inwardly L-shapedvertical slots 14 adapted to slidably receive one of the L-like end extensions formed by theflanges 10 of thepartition 8 in horizontal interlocking engagement. Theinterlocking strips 12 can be made as integral parts of theside walls 4 of thedrawer 2, for example by means of a punching process. They can be made otherwise, for example by welding on thewalls 4. Eachstrip 12 can be formed of a unitary elongated element, or of separate “hooking” elements arranged next to one another. - Preferably, the interlocking
vertical side flanges 10 project on opposite longitudinal sides of thepartition 8 so that both end sides of thepartition 8 are equally slideable in one of theinterlocking strip 12. In such a case, the twointerlocking strips 12 receiving thepartition 8 extend in a complementary arrangement as if they were formed by a single strip running around theperipheral walls 4 of thedrawer 2, with the slots all extending on the right (or left) hand side behind thefront face 28 of the strips. Theflanges 10 may also project on a same side of thepartition 8 provided that theinterlocking strips 12 are arranged accordingly (as an image to each other) to receive theflanges 10. The interlockingvertical side flanges 10 may project at approximately 90° from the longitudinal sides of thepartition 8, so that thepartition 8 extends perpendicularly to thewalls 4 between which it is mounted. Other angles can be used so that thepartition 8 may be mounted diagonally between opposite oradjacent walls 4 provided that the length of thepartition 8 is adapted for this purpose, e.g. shorter or longer than for straight mounting betweenopposite walls 4. - The interlocking
vertical side flanges 10 may conveniently be formed by vertical bent end portions of the partition 8 (i.e. “folds”). The number ofstrips 12, their length and their position may vary according to the user's needs.Strips 12 may be provided only on a portion of thedrawer 2 if desired. - The
partition 8 may itself be provided withinterlocking strips 12′ projecting along both its longitudinal sides (or only one longitudinal side if desired), for attachment of an optional divider 16 (or several ones if desired) based on the same fastening principle as for thepartition 8 with thewalls 4 of thedrawer 2. Theinterlocking strips 12′ may conveniently be made as integral parts of thepartition 8 which protrude from the longitudinal sides of it at successive lower and upper positions, for example by means of a punching process, as best shown in FIG. 2. - Each
partition 8 and divider 16 preferably has ahorizontal bottom flange bottom wall 6 of thedrawer 2. - Each
bottom flange holes partition 8 or divider 16 to thebottom wall 6 of thedrawer 2 which is then preferably provided withcorresponding holes 22. The divider 16 (and optionally the partition) can be provided with atop flange 30 if desired. - In short, the
dividers 16 havevertical folds 26 on their end sides. The end sides of thepartitions 8 have the same folds (i.e. flanges 10). Theinterlocking strips horizontal slots 14 at the top and the bottom. Thesehorizontal slots 14 allow the passage of thevertical folds dividers 16 and thepartitions 8 during their insertion. Once thedividers 16 and thepartitions 8 are in place, they can no longer disengage under a bending action of the back orside walls 4 of thedrawer 2 or of thepartitions 8. Furthermore, when thepartitions 8 are screwed to thebottom wall 6 of thedrawer 2, they prevent thebottom wall 6 from bending by the weight of the articles stored in thedrawer 2, thereby providing thedrawer 2 with a longer lifetime. Likewise, thedividers 16 can be screwed to thebottom wall 6 of thedrawer 2 to prevent thepartitions 8 from bending. Consequently, the fastening of the elements of the partitioning system protect them in addition to preventing them from disengaging. It also prevents small articles stored in the compartments from passing under thedividers 16 and thepartitions 8 and thus to mix from one compartment to another. - Another advantage of the partitioning system is that the width of the interlocking strips12, 12′ can be considerably reduced in comparison with conventional systems, thereby reducing the loss of space due to the presence of the interlocking strips 12, 12′. The interlocking strips 12, 12′ may typically have a thickness of less than 6 mm (¼ inch). However,
thicker strips - The height of the
flanges partitions 8 or thedividers 16 provided that they sufficiently engage with theslots 14 when they are in place. - While embodiments of this invention have been illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described above, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the essence of this invention. All such modifications or variations are believed to be within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims appended hereto.
