Drawer box stabilizing system

摘要

Folded storage boxes are assembled into an array of joined folded storage boxes provide a sliding drawer at a front face of each box, such that stacked and laterally joined boxes are accessible from the front of each box. Fasteners join side walls of juxtaposed boxes at intermediate heights to define short beam wall structures. A drawer retention device limits the degree of front withdrawal of each drawer so that drawers on higher courses than the ground course are protected from accidental falls. A divider system in the drawer is supported on side rail sheets that are secured by inertia hooks.

主权项

1. In a storage box formed of folded sheet material, a protective system comprising:
a box shell formed of corrugated sheet material and forming a single drawer space of a shell bottom wall, shell top wall, opposite shell side walls with an inside facing surface of each facing centrally in the box shell, and shell rear wall with open shell front, wherein said shell bottom wall and shell top wall establish said box shell of single drawer height there between, said shell side walls define a plurality of fastener receptors located remotely from the shell top wall and shell bottom wall such that a minimum distance from a said fastener receptor to the shell top wall or shell bottom wall is shorter than the single drawer height of the box shell; a pull drawer formed of corrugated sheet material and fitting within the box shell, extendable from said open front, and formed of a drawer bottom wall, opposite drawer side walls, drawer front wall, and drawer rear wall; a plurality of fasteners having a head of predetermined diameter at opposite ends thereof, engagable in the fastener receptors with said heads extending above the inside facing surfaces of the shell side walls, and of length between said heads sized to join together two shell side walls of said corrugated material in abutting relationship, thereby enabling the lateral joining of like additional storage boxes; wherein the fastener receptors are spaced from the shell top wall and shell bottom wall by a distance suitable to accommodate receipt of one of said fasteners in one of the fastener receptors; and a sleeve lining said box shell, covering the extending fastener heads, and providing an intermediate layer between the outside surface of the shell side walls, including the extending fastener heads, and said pull drawer whereby the extending fastener heads, when applied at the receptor locations, are prevented from catching the pull drawer.
