Definitions

  • the present construction is still further simplified as the tracks are horizontal channels requiring only a slot in the bottom legs for engaging toothed projections on the drawer side rails in closed and full open position, the top channels slidably abutting the top rear edges of the side rails to control the tilting of the drawer.
  • Another object is to provide an improved tilt-open drawer which slides easily and which is automatically locked in closed and full open position.
  • a further object is to provide an improved tilt-open drawer which is easily removed from its carrier frame by lifting the front end as it is pulled out fromclosed position.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation, partly broken away and in section of a preferred embodiment of the improved drawer in closed position in its carrier frame.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view on line 22 of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, showing the drawer in partly open position.
  • FIG. 4 is a partial section on line 4-4 of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 1, showing the drawer in full open position.
  • FIG. 6 is a partial sectional view on line 6-6 of FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view on line 7-7 of FIG.
  • the improved drawer indicated generally at 10 is slidably mounted in a supporting frame indicated generally at 11 and has a bottom wall 12, side walls 13, rear wall 14 and a front wall preferably consisting of an upper vertical wall portion 15 and an inclined lower wall portion 16 connecting the front edge of the bottom wall with the vertical wall portion 15.
  • the lower part 15 of wall portion 15 depends below the upper end of the inclined portion 16 to form a handhold for pulling out the drawer.
  • the drawer may be molded out of suitable plastic material.
  • the side walls 13 and rear wall 14 depend a short distance below bottom wall 12, and transverse reinforcing ribs 17 and 18 extend between the depending portions of the side walls.
  • the carrier frame 11 preferably comprises two channel tracks 20 at the sides of the upper portions of the side walls 13 and connected in spaced-apart relation by a transverse plate 21 secured to the top legs of the channels in a well-known manner.
  • the channel tracks 20 and the plate 21 may be formed of suitable plastic material and the plate welded or otherwise secured to the tops of the channels.
  • the plate has a depending front transverse flange 22 overhanging the front ends of the channels and the upper portion of the front wall 16 of the drawer abuts flange 22 in the closed position of the drawer, as seen in FIG. 1.
  • Laterally outwardly extending side rails are formed integrally with the top edges of the side walls 13 of the drawer, and preferably comprise horizontal flange portions 24 terminating in downturned flanges or rails 25.
  • the bottom edges of said rails preferably include front horizontal portions 26 and upwardly inclined portions 27 extending rearwardly therefrom and having tooth-like downward projections 28 at the junctures of the inclined portions 27 with the horizontal front portions 26.
  • At the rear ends of the inclined portions deeper depending tooth-like projections 29 are formed and inclined edges extend rearwardly therefrom and include upwardly inclined portions 30 .and downwardly inclined portions 31 terminating at the edges of side rails 25 are slidably supported.
  • Upturned I retainer lip flanges 36 are preferably formed on the inner edges of lower legs 35.
  • Longitudinal slots 37 are preferably formed in lower legs 35 for receiving the teeth 28 when the drawer is in closed position, as shown in FIG. 1, and the top rear edges of the side rail flanges 25 are spaced below the upper legs 34 of the tracks when the drawer is in closed position.
  • Tilt-open drawer construction comprising a carrier frame having side tracks with horizontal upper and lower legs, said lower legs each having a stop slot in its front portion, a drawer having side rails supported in said side tracks, the top rear edges of said side rails being spaced below said side track upper legs in the closed position of said drawer, said side rails having front and rear projections connected by inclined flanges slidably engaging the front ends of the track lower legs as the drawer is pulled out, and said front and rear projections adapted selectively to engage in said slots in the closed and full open positions of said drawer.
  • Tilt-open drawer construction as defined in claim 1, in which the top rear edges of said side rails slidably engage the track upper legs to limit the tilting movement of the drawer as it is pulled out.
