A drawer mechanism for enabling a drawer to slide into and out of a cabinet has guide rails 2 to be fixed to wall surfaces of the cabinet to guide movement of the drawer, sliders 5 adapted to move along the guide rails; and drawer support members 7 on both sides of the drawer and moving forward and rearward along with the sliders as the drawer is opened or closed. The guide rails 2, sliders 5 and support members 7 include gravitational locking means such that in the closed configuration of the drawer the weight of the drawer acts constantly to exert a force maintaining this closed configuration. The locking means includes sloping parts 2a, 7a on the relevant guide surfaces and rollers 4 on the sliders 5, the rollers resting between the sloping surfaces when the door is closed. This system dispenses with magnetic seals. <IMAGE> |
