Embodiment Construction

[0044]The unit 1 shown in FIG. 1 a has a frame 2 comprising an upper wall 4 supported on four legs 7 . The unit also has pairs of horizontal rails 5a, 5b, 5c (only one of each pair is visible in Figure 1a - the other of each pair is on the other side of the unit not visible or shown superior). A fixing bracket 13 is attached to the upper wall 4 of the unit. Short bars 14a, 14b attached to the rails other than the lowermost rail extend through slots 15a, 15b in the mount 13, allowing the rails to hang from the top of the storage unit and through the mount The engagement of the stub in the slot of 13 is supported. Each pair of crossbars 5a, 5b, 5c slidably supports a drawer 3a, 3b, 3c having a bottom and side walls. Drawers can be divided into multiple compartments by partitions. As shown, the rails are formed as projections that protrude into the unit, although they could take the form of recesses in the body that fit on the exterior of the unit to provide a rail surface to...

Abstract

A storage unit having a frame, drawers and a carrying handle. When the unit is lifted by the handle, or the handle is moved to a position suitable for lifting the storage unit, the handle arms lift the bottom drawer of the stack of drawers which in turn lifts each of the above drawers relative to the frame. As each drawer rises, the clearance gap between adjacent drawers is reduced and the drawers are moved to a locked position where they are blocked by detents mounted on the inside of the frame. In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the handle is coupled to drawer locking slides instead of the bottom drawer and detents on the drawer locking slides engage with the drawers to lock them in the closed position as the drawer locking slides are moved relative to the frame.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are particularly directed to tool cases, cosmetic cases, fishing kits, food storage units or the like having trays or drawers in which items may be stored. A particularly preferred embodiment is a liftable unit with drawers. Background technique [0002] It is known to provide a storage unit with a tray formed as a drawer configured to slide in and out of the storage unit housing or frame. In this way, when the drawer is opened, the materials kept in the drawer can be accessed. With a back wall inside the housing, the drawer can only slide open in one direction. However, in the absence of a back wall, the drawer can slide out in either of two opposite directions, allowing access to the drawer's contents. Dividing walls may be provided in the tray to divide the tray into c...
