<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a drawer movement assist device capable of enhancing operability of a drawer. <P>SOLUTION: When an end plate 16 is opened, the rocking movement of the end plate 16 causes an upper rack 34 to move horizontally towards the front via a stay 24, causes a press bar 28 fixed to a lower rack 42 to move horizontally towards the back via a rotating gear 40, and causes a stopper 46 fixed to a cabinet body 12 to be pressed towards the back. As a result, a drawer 14 is ejected towards the front relative to the cabinet body 12. In addition, immediately before the end plate 16 opens, a protrusion 34B on the upper rack 34 comes in contact with the rear end section 66A of the slider 66 of a piston rod 58, lessening the impact when the end plate 16 is opened. Also, immediately before the end plate 16 closes, the rear surface 16A of the end plate 16 comes in contact with the front end section 56A of a piston cylinder 56, lessening the impact when the end plate 16 is closed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
