Thus, the trim strip flanges 24 are spaced forwardly of the mounting panel flanges 17 and 18 to define therebetween inwardly opening slots 29 adapted to receive the side edges 30 of the decorative panel 13.
Panel construction 12 further includes a frame trim generally designated 31 having side portions 32 and 33 and a bottom portion 34. Each of side portions 32 and 33 includes an intumed rear edge 35 having a forwardly turned distal flange 36, and a turned front edge 37 having a rearwardly turned distal flange 38. Bottom portion 34 includes a forward turned edge 39 having a rearwardly turned distal flange 40.
As shown in FIG. 5, turned edges 35 and distal flange 36 embrace the rear edge 41 of the trim strip and front edge 37 and distal flange 38 embrace the turned flange 25 of the trim strip overlying the screws 28 and defining a decorative picture frame type molding edge means covering the edges of the panel 13. Similarly, the bottom edge portion 34 covers the bottom of the panel 13 to define a horizontal bottom portion of the picture frame molding.
As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom 42 of the panel 13 overlies the bottom edge 34 of the frame trim 31. A toe plate 43 may be mounted subjacent the front panel construction and may include a horizontal portion 44 sandwiched between the bottom edge 20 of the mounting panel 14 and the bottom portion 34 of the frame trim 31 for releasably mounting the toe plate on the drawer construction. As shown, the bottom edge 34 of the frame trim may be secured to the bottom edge of the mounting panel by suitable screws 45 extending upwardly through the frame trim bottom edge 34, the toe plate portion 44, and the mounting panel edge portion 20 (FIG. 4). The toe plate may include an upwardly projecting rear portion 46 abutting the rear surface of the lower end of the mounting panel 14 to provide improved rigidity to the toe plate.
The top of the door construction 12 comprises a handle 47 which may include an upper gripping portion 48, a horizontal cover portion 49, a forward depending flange 50, a middle depending flange 51, and a rear depending flange 52. The handle is secured to the upper end 53 of the mounting panel mid-portion 19 having a plurality of holes 54 therein by means of screws 55 extended through holes 54 and threaded through rear flange 52. As seen in FIG. 4, the front flange 50 is disposed in the plane of the turned edge 37,38 of the frame trim 31. The cover portion 49 effectively covers the upper end of portions 15-18 of the front mounting panel 14, the trim strips 22 and 23, and the side portions 32 and 33 of frame trim 31 to complete the peripheral enclosure of the panel 13.
As indicated briefly above, the front panel construction 12 is further arranged to permit the use of a wraparound type panel 113, as shown in FIGS. 6-8. Thus, a suitable wraparound panel 1 13, which may be formed of sheet metal or the like, may include rearwardly turned side portions 56 and 57 having distal intumed flanges 58 and 59, respectively, spaced rearwardly of the front flat panel portion 60. The panel 14 may further include a rearwardly turned bottom portion 61 provided with suitable holes 62 for passing screws 45 for securing the portion 44 of the toe plate 43. The panel portion 60 may further carry a rearwardly turned flange 63 at the upper end which engages the depending flange 51 of handle 47 in the assembled relationship of the door construction, as shown in FIG. 7. As further shown in FIG. 7, the depending flange 50 of the handle 47 overlies the upper portion of front panel 113 to cooperate with flange 51 in retaining the upper portion of the panel securely therebetween. The lower end of the panel is effectively secured in the door construction by the screws 45 threaded to the bottom edge 20 of the front mounting panel 14.
Handle 47 effectively closes the top of the panel 113 to complete the mounting of the panel in the door construction. The handle is secured to the mounting panel 14 by the screws 55. As shown in FIG. 8, when the wraparound panel 1 13 is utilized, screws 28 are not utilized. In lieu thereof, screws 64 may be passed through suitable openings 65 in the flanges 58 and 59 to be threaded to suitable openings 66 in the mounting panel 14 to secure the panel 113' to the mounting panel 14 along the side edges thereof; Screws 45, 55 and 64 are effectively hidden so. that thewraparound panel 113 presents an unbroken, finished appearance at the front of the drawer.
Installation of the different panels, as discussed above, may be readily effected by-the useras by use of conventional household tools. Thus, to substitute a different panel 13, the user needmerely open the drawer l1, and by using a conventional screwdriver, he may then remove the screws 55 whereupon the handle 47 may be removed from the assembly. Removal of handle 47 permits sliding withdrawal of the panel edge portions 30 in the side slots 29.v The new panel may then be slid into place whereupon the handle 47 may be remounted with screws55 to secure the new panel in position, as shown in FIG. 4.
Where the replacement panel comprises a wrap: around panel 60, it may be installed by removing the drawer 11 from the apparatus 10 and turning it upside down. By using a conventional screwdriver, the user may then remove the screws 45 whereupon the frame trim 31 may be slid upwardly to remove it from the assembly. The trim strip screws 28 may then be removed to remove them from the assembly. The panel 60 may then be installed by sliding the panel downwardly onto the side edges 15 and 16 of the mounting panel 14 with the wraparound panel being secured to the mounting panel by the screws 64 cooperating with the holes 66 as discussed above. The toe plate 43 is reinstalled by means of screws 45 as shown in FIG. 7 to complete the installation of the panel 60.
Thus, the present invention permits interchangeably mounting different types of panels to the receptacle front by facilitated means permitting the user to effect such changing with common household tools, such as a screwdriver. The front construction includes a mounting panel portion mounted integrally with the drawer and arranged to permit the facilitated installation of the outer decorative panel means thereon. The front construction also permits facilitated installation and removal of the toe plate and the overlying handle.
The handle further defines means for closing the top of the front construction with any of the different panel elements used therein. The handle further defines means for supporting the upper end of the decorative panel. The trim strips provide means for slidably mounting the edges of the flat panel 13 and adapt the drawer construction for use with the decorative picture frame means 31. The panels 113 may be formed of any desirable material, such as plastics, steel, veneers, fab
ric, paper, or plastic covered sheets, etc.
