When the drawer is pushed into the closet, its engaging part and the stopping part inside the closet engage with each other. To pull out the drawer, one pulls the lift handle in order to push the first guiding part. The engaging part pivotally rotates to leave the stopping part. The disclosed structure provides a mechanism to position and separate the drawer.
- Another objective of the invention is to enhance the positioning effect between the engaging part and the stopping part. This is achieved by providing an elastic element on one side of the connecting part at the bottom of the fixing element. This elastic element provides has the effects of restoring the stopping part of the fixing element and increasing the force exerted by the stopping part on the stopping element.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to make the guidance slide smoother after the lift handle is pulled. This is achieved by adding a stopping part above the first guiding part of the engaging part. Moreover, one side of the connecting part at the bottom of the fixing element has the elastic element. The end edge of the lift handle pushes against the stopping part for the elastic element to restore its position.
- To achieve the above objectives, the invention includes: a lift handle and at least one fixing element. The lift handle is disposed horizontally in front of a drawer. The lift handle has a pivotal connection part to connect to the drawer. On both sides of the pivotal part, the lift handle extends downward with a lifting part and a pushing part.
- A connecting part is disposed under the fixing part for a pivotal connection to the outer wall of the drawer. One end above the connecting part has a first guiding part protruding toward the lift handle, so that the bottom of the pushing part of the lift handle urges against the first guiding part. When the lift handle is lifted, the first guiding part is pushed to rotate. The other end of the first guiding part has an engaging part with a stopping end.

- A first embodiment of the disclosed engaging structure for the drawer of a closet is described with reference to
FIGS. 1 to 3 . The disclosed structure includes: aholder 11, alift handle 12, and at least onefixing element 3. - The
holder 11 is disposed on the front side of a drawer 1 for the user to hold while drawing and pushing the drawer 1 into and from acloset 2. In this embodiment, theholder 11 is horizontally disposed along the top edge in front of the drawer 1. Moreover, theholder 11 is an arc protrusion. - The lift handle 12 is also horizontally disposed in front of the drawer 1, under the
holder 11. In this embodiment, the lift handle 12 has apivotal connection part 121. The top edge of thepivotal connection part 121 pivotally connects with the drawer 1. The lift handle 12 further has a liftingpart 122 and a pushingpart 123. The liftingpart 122 connects to the outer side edge of thepivotal connection part 121, and extends obliquely downward from thepivotal connection part 121. The pushingpart 123 connects to the inner side edge of thepivotal part 121, and extends obliquely downward from thepivotal connection part 121. - The fixing
element 3 has a T shape. A connectingpart 31 is provided below it for a pivotal connection to any one of the opposite sides of the drawer 1 that have sliding rails. The end of the fixingelement 3 above the connectingpart 31 has a first guidingpart 32 protruding toward thelift handle 12. The top surface of the first guidingpart 32 has aslide guiding surface 321, so that the bottom of the pushingpart 123 of the lift handle 12 urges against theside guiding surface 321 of the first guidingpart 32. When the lift handle 12 is lifted, the first guidingpart 32 is pushed to rotate pivotally. The other end of the fixingpart 3 has anengaging part 33 whose end portion is extended sideways with a stoppingpart 331. The stoppingpart 331 is a slant surface and has a stoppingend 332 on its bottom end. Thecloset 2 has a stoppingelement 21 corresponding to the stoppingend 332 of theengaging part 33. The stoppingelement 21 and the stoppingend 332 engage with each other. - Please refer to
FIGS. 3 and 4 for the application of this embodiment. To open the drawer 1, the user first lifts thelifting part 122 of the lift handle 12 pivotally connected to the front side of the drawer 1. Since the bottom end of the pushingpart 123 urges against the first guidingpart 32 of the fixingelement 3, the first guidingpart 32 acts concurrently with the pivotal rotation of the pushingpart 123 so that the first guidingpart 32 displaces downward with respect to the pivotal connection point of the connectingpart 31. At this moment, the engagingpart 33 on the other end relatively displaces upward, so that the stoppingend 332 of theengaging part 33 departs from the stoppingelement 21 in thecloset 2. The user can thus pull the drawer 1 out of the closet 1. To put the drawer 1 back into the closet 1, the user further first push the drawer 1 into thecloset 2 and then lift the liftingpart 122 of thelift handle 12. The first guidingpart 32 acts concurrently with the pivotal rotation of the pushingpart 123 to displace downward. The engagingpart 33 on the other end displaces relatively upward. The stoppingelement 21 in thecloset 2 enters the stoppingend 332 along the bottom edge of the stoppingpart 331. When the user releases thelift handle 12, a restoring force is generated due to the weight of thelift handle 12. The bottom end of the pushingpart 123 thus urges against the first guidingpart 32 of the fixingelement 3 and rotates back to its original position. The first guidingpart 32 acts concurrently with the pivotal rotation of the pushingpart 123, so that the stoppingend 332 of theengaging part 33 engages with the stoppingelement 21 of thecloset 2. Therefore, the drawer 1 is positioned inside thecloset 2. - In summary, due to the engagement between the
engaging part 33 of the fixingelement 3 and the fact that the first guidingpart 32 on the fixingelement 3 is urged against by the pushingpart 123 of thelift handle 12, the engagingpart 33 does not depart from the stoppingelement 21 even under serious shaking. The drawer 1 is securely positioned in thecloset 2 to ensure the user's safety. In comparison with the prior art, the invention has better positioning effect and safety. - Of course, the invention has many other embodiments that only vary in details. Please refer to
FIGS. 5 to 8 for a second embodiment of the invention. The pushingpart 123 of the lift handle 12 protrudes downward by an appropriate length. It further bends and protrudes outward with a pushingpart 124. Besides, the first guidingpart 32 on one end of the fixingelement 3 protrudes upward with a second guidingpart 34, forming an L-shaped guiding part. The inner surface of the second guidingpart 34 forms aslide guiding surface 341. The bottom end of the pushingpart 124 urges against theslide guiding surface 341 of the second guidingpart 34. As the pushingpart 124 of the lift handle 12 pushes the second guidingpart 34, the lift handle 12 can slide more smoothly with respect to the fixingelement 33. Moreover, a stoppingelement 23 is disposed on anouter slide rail 22 of thecloset 2 corresponding to theslide rail 13 of the drawer 1, in correspondence with the stoppingend 332 of theengaging part 33. The stoppingelement 23 is parallel to the vertical wall of theouter slide rail 22. The top surface of the stoppingelement 23 is formed with anarc edge 231 corresponding to the stoppingpart 331. When the drawer 1 is pushed into thecloset 2, thearc edge 231 renders the guiding slide with respect to the stoppingpart 331 smoother. The stoppingelement 23 thus engages with the stoppingend 332. - In addition, an
elastic element 35 can be disposed on the bottom of the connectingpart 31, on the side toward the stoppingpart 331. The other end of theelastic element 35 is fixed on the drawer 1 to provide a restoring force for the stoppingpart 331 of the fixingelement 3. It also increases the force exerted by the stoppingpart 331 on the stoppingelement 21, thereby better stabilizing the engagement between theengaging part 33 and the stoppingelement 21. When thecloset 2 is seriously shaken or topples over, the engagingpart 33 does not depart from the stoppingelement 21. Therefore, the drawer 1 does not slide out of thecloset 2. In comparison with the prior art, the invention has better positioning effect and safety. - Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternative embodiments, will be apparent to people skilled in the art. Therefore, it is contemplated that the appended claims will cover all modifications that fall within the true scope of the invention.
