Abstract
A bracket assembly for mounting a drawer slide on a cabinet includes: a mounting bracket having a main panel, the mounting bracket being adapted for mounting to a wall or frame of a cabinet, the mounting bracket including a main panel and receptor mounting structure attached to the main panel; and a slide receptor having a mounting portion that is configured to interact with the receptor mounting structure of the mounting bracket and enable the slide receptor to move horizontally relative to the mounting bracket, the slide receptor also including a receiving portion that is configured to receive a drawer slide.
Description
- The present invention is directed generally to furniture, and more particularly to cabinets with sliding drawers and trays.
- Many cabinets, particularly those found in kitchens, include drawers for storing various items. Often, drawers are mounted to the cabinet with elongate slide members that are fixed to the drawer. Each slide member slidably engages a second elongate slide member that is fixed to the walls of the cabinet (often one of the slide members includes a small wheel that facilitates sliding motion). Some of such cabinets include multiple drawers, which can be disposed in vertically stacked fashion, side-by-side fashion, or both.
- Some drawers have slides that are mounted on the underside of the drawer (so-called “undermounted” drawer slides). These drawer slides may be preferred in some environments because they are less exposed than side-mounted drawer slides (and therefore may be less exposed to damage) and may avoid taking up space on either side of the drawer. In some embodiments, undermounted slides may have mechanisms that cause the drawer to close automatically without slamming. An exemplary undermounted drawer slide is the DYNAMIC NT slide, available from Mepla-Alfit, Reinheim, Germany; another is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 6,854,817 to Simon.
- An undermounted drawer slide may be mounted to a side wall of the cabinet, or may be mounted at either end to the front or rear wall. If the slide is to be mounted to the front or rear wall, often the wall will include mounting holes for receiving screws or other fasteners inserted through a mounting bracket that connects to the slide. However, it can be difficult to align the slides mounted to the underside of the drawer with mounting bracket once it has been mounted via the holes on the wall. If the slides and the bracket do not align, it becomes necessary to either remount the slides on the drawer or to form new holes in the cabinet wall, either of which can be time consuming. As such, it may be desirable to provide a mounting technique that addresses this difficulty.
- As a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a bracket assembly for mounting a drawer slide on a cabinet. The bracket assembly comprises: a mounting bracket having a main panel, the mounting bracket being adapted for mounting to a wall or frame of a cabinet, the mounting bracket including a main panel and receptor mounting structure attached to the main panel; and a slide receptor having a mounting portion that is configured to interact with the receptor mounting structure of the mounting bracket and enable the slide receptor to move horizontally relative to the mounting bracket. The slide receptor also includes a receiving portion that is configured to receive a drawer slide. In this configuration, the slide receptor can be adjusted relative to the mounting bracket to facilitate interconnection with a drawer slide.
- As a second aspect, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a bracket assembly for mounting a drawer slide on a cabinet, comprising: a mounting bracket having a main panel, the mounting bracket being adapted for mounting to a wall or frame of a cabinet, the mounting bracket including a main panel and upper and lower rails projecting forwardly from a front surface of the main panel; and a slide receptor having a main panel with upper and lower lips that are received in, respectively, the upper and lower rails that enable the slide receptor to move horizontally relative to the mounting bracket. The slide receptor also includes a receiving portion that is configured to receive a drawer slide. Again, in this configuration the slide receptor can be adjusted relative to the mounting bracket to facilitate interconnection with a drawer slide.
- As a third aspect, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a cabinet having a rear wall with preformed apertures, wherein the bracket assembly as described above is mounted to the rear wall with the mounting dowels on the mounting bracket inserted into the preformed apertures.
- As a fourth aspect, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a cabinet having a frame with an upright member and a cross member, wherein the bracket assembly as described above is mounted to the frame, and wherein the mounting bracket of the bracket assembly includes generally vertically disposed mounting panels that extend rearwardly from a rear surface of the main panel, and one of the mounting panels is mounted to the upright member.

- Well-known functions or constructions may not be described in detail for brevity and/or clarity.
- Referring to the figures, a bracket assembly, designated broadly at 10, is illustrated in
FIGS. 1A and 1B . Thebracket assembly 10 includes amounting bracket 12 and aslide receptor 40. These components are described in detail below. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , the mountingbracket 12 includes a generally planarmain panel 14. Two split dowels 16 project from the rear surface of the main panel 14 (seeFIG. 1B ). Themain panel 14 also includes an aperture 18. Anupper rail 20 having an L-shaped cross-section projects forwardly, then downwardly from themain panel 14; theupper rail 20 is supported by threetriangular gussets 21. Similarly, an L-shapedlower rail 24 projects forwardly, then upwardly from the lower edge of themain panel 14. Ahorizontal slot 22 is positioned just below theupper rail 20, and ahorizontal slot 26 is positioned just below thelower rail 24. - A generally
horizontal recess 28 is present in the front surface of themain panel 14 and extends from one side edge thereof most of the way across themain panel 14. Anotch 30 extends slightly deeper within the central portion of therecess 28. - The mounting
bracket 12 is typically of unitary construction, but may be formed of multiple components if desired. The mountingbracket 12 may be formed of any material suitable for the mounting of drawer slides; a polymeric material, such as ABS, is typically employed. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , theslide receptor 40 has avertical panel 42 with three sets of wings (lower wings 48,intermediate wings 50, and upper wings 52) that extend forwardly therefrom. Thevertical panel 42 includes anupper lip 44 and alower lip 46. Thewings intermediate wings 50 extend forwardly slightly farther than do theupper wings 52, and thelower wings 48 extend forwardly slightly farther than do theintermediate wings 50.Gaps wings Triangular gussets 54 support the sides of thewings vertical panel 42. Acentral rib 56 divides thewings upper wings 52. Arear nub 58 extends from the rear surface of thevertical panel 42 partially coextensive with a central portion of the rib 56 (seeFIG. 1B ). - The
slide receptor 40 is typically of unitary construction, but may be formed of multiple components if desired. Theslide receptor 40 may be formed of any material suitable for the mounting of drawer slides; a polymeric material, such as acetal, is typically employed. - Turning now to
FIGS. 4-6 , the use of thebracket assembly 10 is illustrated therein. Arear cabinet wall 60 includes two mountingholes 62. The mounting holes 60 receive the split dowels 16 of the mounting bracket 12 (FIG. 4 ). Once the mountingbracket 12 is fixed to therear cabinet wall 60, theslide receptor 40 connected with the mountingbracket 12. Interconnection of these components is accomplished by sliding theupper lip 44 of thevertical panel 42 into the pocket created by theupper rail 20, and by sliding thelower lip 46 of thevertical panel 42 into the pocket created by the lower rail 24 (FIG. 5 ). When so positioned, therear nub 58 is received in therecess 28 in themain panel 14. Theslide receptor 40 is then slid toward the center of the mountingbracket 12 until therear nub 58 is received in thenotch 30. Once thenub 58 is positioned within thenotch 30, thebracket 40 is free to slide horizontally relative to the mountingplate 12 until thenub 58 strikes either of the side edges of thenotch 30. Thus, the position of theslide receptor 40 relative to the mountingbracket 12 can be adjusted. - Once the
bracket assembly 10 has been mounted to thecabinet wall 60, adrawer slide 64 can be mounted to theslide receptor 40. Typically, thedrawer slide 64 will already be attached to the underside of a drawer. Mounting is achieved by slidinglips 66 that define aslot 65 in the drawer slides 64 into a set of thegaps wings FIG. 6 ) (in the illustrated embodiment, thelips 66 are positioned in thegap 51 betweenwings 50 and 52). Notably, the horizontal position of theslide receptor 40 can be adjusted so that thedrawer slide 64 can be received more readily and easily even though thedrawer slide 64 is already mounted to the drawer. - Turning now to
FIGS. 7-9 , analternative bracket assembly 100 is illustrated therein. Thisassembly 100 employs aslide receptor 40 as described above mounted onto apeninsula bracket 70. Thepeninsula bracket 70 includes amain panel 72 having alower rail 76, anupper rail 74, arecess 78 and anotch 79 similar to those found on themain panel 14 of the mountingplate 12 described above. However, thepeninsula bracket 70 has two mounting panels, 80, 82 that extend rearwardly from themain panel 72 spanned by a horizontal rib 84 (seeFIG. 8 ).Apertures panels - The
peninsula bracket 70 is typically employed in cabinets that have askeletal frame 94 rather than a rear wall. As seen inFIGS. 8 and 9 , theframe 94 may have a cross-member 90 and anupright member 92. Thepeninsula bracket 70 can be mounted to theframe 94 via the insertion of a screw through one of theapertures upright member 92. The lower edges of the mountingpanels peninsula bracket 70 is positioned to receive theslide receptor 40 within its upper andlower rails - As still another embodiment,
FIGS. 10-14 illustrate another bracket assembly, designated broadly at 110. Thebracket assembly 110 includes a mountingbracket 112 and aslide receptor 140. These components are described in detail below. - Referring now to
FIG. 10 , the mountingbracket 112 includes a generally planar main panel 114. Four mountingapertures 116 are present in the four corners of the main panel 114. Anupper rail 120 having an L-shaped cross-section projects forwardly, then downwardly from the main panel 114; theupper rail 120 is supported by three triangular gussets 121. Similarly, an L-shapedlower rail 124 projects forwardly, then upwardly from the lower edge of the main panel 114. Ahorizontal slot 122 is positioned just below theupper rail 20, and ahorizontal slot 126 is positioned just below thelower rail 24. - A generally
horizontal tab 128 projects away from the front surface of the main panel 114. Afinger 130 extends downwardly from the central portion of thetab 128. - The mounting
bracket 112 is typically of unitary construction, but may be formed of multiple components if desired. The mountingbracket 112 may be formed of any material suitable for the mounting of drawer slides; a polymeric material, such as ABS, is typically employed. - Referring now to
FIGS. 11 and 12 , theslide receptor 140 has avertical panel 142. Twooblong apertures vertical panel 142. Aslide receiving arm 152 extends forwardly from thevertical panel 142. Theslide receiving arm 152 is generally C-shaped and is supported from above by agusset 154. A steppedprojection 156 extends from the front of theslide receiving arm 152 and is configured to receive a drawer slide. Asmall slot 160 is located on the underside of theslide receiving arm 152 at its junction with thevertical panel 142. - On the rear side of the
vertical panel 142, a generallyhorizontal recess 162 extends between the side edges of thevertical panel 142. Tworamps 164 are located at either side of therecess 162. Also, a series of generally evenly spacedvertical fingers 166 extend upwardly from the lower edge of therecess 162. - The
slide receptor 140 is typically of unitary construction, but may be formed of multiple components if desired. Theslide receptor 40 may be formed of any material suitable for the mounting of drawer slides; a polymeric material, such as acetal, is typically employed. - For the mounting of a drawer slide, the
bracket assembly 110 can be used in either of two ways. In one mounting configuration, as shown inFIG. 14 , theslide receptor 140 can be mounted directly to acabinet wall 170 via fasteners inserted into theapertures apertures slide receptor 140 to be adjusted slightly. Theslide receptor 140 can be mounted flush to thewall 170 without interference from structures that extend rearwardly beyond the upper and lower halves of the rear surface of the vertical panel 142 (as is not be the case for theslide receptor 40 described above). A drawer slide can then be mounted on theslide receiving arm 152. - If greater mounting adjustability is desired, an installer can mount the mounting
bracket 112 to thewall 70 via fasteners inserted into the apertures 116 (seeFIG. 13 ). Theslide receptor 140 can then be slid into place between the upper andlower rails tab 128 is captured between the tworamps 164. Some discrete adjustment of theslide receptor 140 relative to the mountingbracket 112 can even be achieved by virtue of the interaction of thefinger 130 of the mountingbracket 112 with thefingers 166 of theslide receptor 140. As noted above, a drawer slide can then be mounted on theslide receiving arm 152. - Thus, it can be seen that an installer of the
bracket assembly 110 has the option of directly mounting theslide receptor 140 to thewall 170 or mounting the mountingbracket 112 to thewall 170 and theslide receptor 140 to the mountingbracket 112 as desired, and can use the samecommon slide receptor 140 for either mounting technique. - Those skilled in this art will appreciate that the
bracket assemblies bracket 12 and thepeninsula bracket 70 may have different receptor mounting structure than the upper andlower rails brackets bracket 12 may be mounted to the rear wall of a cabinet via a screw or other threaded fastener rather than via the split dowels 16. - Alternative embodiments of the
slide receptors slide receptor 40 may include more or fewer pairs of wings. Alternatively, theslide receptor 40 may have a mounting portion that does not rely on upper andlower lips vertical panel 42 to interconnect with a mounting bracket; for example, the slide receptor may have hooks that engage rails on the bracket, or the upper and lower lips may be discontinuous. Moreover, theslide receptor 40 may have a slide receiving portion, like theslide receiving arm 150, that lacks the wings and gaps illustrated and described herein; instead, the slide receiving portion may have latches, hooks, or holes or recesses to receive latches or hooks present on the drawer slide itself, or may have other slide receiving structure. Exemplary drawer slide configurations include those available from Accuride International (Santa Fe, Calif.), Hettich International (Kirchlengern, Germany), and Grass GmbH (Hochst, Germany). - The foregoing is illustrative of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting thereof. Although exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the claims. The invention is defined by the following claims, with equivalents of the claims to be included therein.
