2 Claims. 1
The present invention relates to drawer pulls and more particularly to novel means of securing such a pull to a drawer head.
The primary objects of the instant invention are to provide a drawer pull of the general character above indicated which may be readily and conveniently secured to a lip portion of the drawer head and which drawer pull intermembers with and reinforces the drawer head in such a manner that the stress occasioned by the opening or carrying of the drawer is borne by the lip portion of the drawer head rather than by thepull itself; to provide such a drawer pull so formed that in its assembled relation with the lip portion of the drawer head, label holding means is provided between the drawer pull and drawer head; to provide such a drawer pull which is simple yet extremely sturdy in construction; to provide such a pull which is attractive in appearance; and, to provide such a drawer pull which is economical in manufacture.
An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure l is a vertical sectional view of the drawer pull and its drawer head to which it is secured in intermembered relation and on line ll of Figure 4;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspective vertical sectional view thereof and similar to Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 33 of Figure 4; and
Figure 4 is a front elevational view of the drawer pull and a fragmentary face view of the drawer head.
Referring then to the drawing wherein like parts of the drawer pull and its drawer are designated by the same numerals in the several views, the pull 20 of molded plastic, die cast metal or of any other suitable material is here shown as provided with a rectangularly formed window rearwardly of which is a recessed space, bounded by the dotted lines 26, which space is adapted to removably receive card indicia 2| disclosing contents of the drawer when the pull is in its aflixed position with respect to the drawer head.
The drawer pull 2!! is provided with a longitudinal slot 22 adjacent its lower inner length and with a pair of oppositely disposed screw threaded bolt receiving apertures 23 for securing the drawer pull 2!] to the drawer head.
The drawer generally designated and here shown as of formed sheet metal comprises a vertically disposed head or face portion I I having a top flange l2 provided with a depending portion [3 which is secured in any suitable manner as by spot welding to a generally vertically disposed reinforcing inner head l4 spacedly and rearwardly of the drawer head ll concealing the drawer pull attaching means and presenting a smooth surface for the contents of the drawer.
The drawer head II is provided with a forwardly-downwardly angularly disposed portion I8 extruded therefrom for a portion of its length and with a rearwardly recessed portion likewise formed therefrom for a portion of its length below the forwardly-downwardly angularly disposed portion [8 to thus provide clearance for the hand of the person opening or closing the drawer.
The drawer head ll of the drawer II] is further provided with spaced bolt shank receiving apertures 24 adapted to register with the apertures 23 of the pull 20 when the drawer pull is in its assembled relation with respect to its drawer head.
In affixing the drawer pull to the drawer head, the lower length of the extruded portion l8 of the drawer head H is seated in the slot 22 of the drawer pull thereby effecting registration of the several complementary apertures 23, 24 whereupon screw bolts 25 are inserted and driven home to secure the pull forwardly and spacedly of the recessed space which recessed portion is adapted to removably receive card indicia 2| disclosing contents of the drawer to prospective customers.
It will thus be seen that any pressure exerted on the lower edge of the drawer pull2ll, as in opening or carrying the drawer, is transmitted to the extruded portion l8 of the drawer head since said extruded portion l8 intermembers with and reinforces the drawer pull, that the drawer pull is simple yet sturdy in construction, is attractive in appearance and is economical in manufacture, and while but one specific embodiment of the invention has been herein shown and described, it will be understood that certain details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of the A invention as the same is defined by the following claims.
I claim:
1. The combination with a drawer head whose face is provided with an open lip, of a drawer pull fitted against the outer face of said lip and extending below and in rear of the lower edge of the lip and provided with an upwardly opening slot receivin the lower edge of the lip, and means for securing the drawer pull on said lip.
2. The combination with a drawer head whose face is provided with an extruded forwardly and downwardly disposed lip and having spaced apart bolt shank receiving apertures,'of a drawer pull having spaced apart bolt shank receiving apertures registering with said apertures, said drawer pull being fitted against the outer face of the lip and provided at the bottom with an enlarged portion extending below and in rear of the lower edge of the lip and having an upwardly opening slot receiving the lower edge of the lip, and bolts having shanks arranged in the registering apertures of the drawer head and in the drawer pull and retaining the drawer pull on said lip and the lip in engagement with said slot.
E LEC. BULLOCK.
