Drawer adjusting mechanism

Abstract

A drawer adjusting mechanism is able to adjust dimensional errors of a drawer, so that the drawer may be accurately mounted and smoothly slide on two rails of the drawer. The drawer adjusting mechanism includes a drawer bottom level adjusting mechanism adapted to adjust any error in the drawer bottom level caused by errors in the thickness and dimensions of the drawer bottom, a drawer sliding direction adjusting mechanism adapted to adjust any error in the sliding direction of the drawer caused by a drawer front panel not centered at a front end of a drawer box, and a drawer slope adjusting mechanism adapted to adjust any axial slope of the drawer to enable smooth sliding of the drawer along the rails thereof.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a drawer adjusting mechanism, and more particularly to a drawer adjusting mechanism adapted to adjust dimensional errors of a drawer for the drawer to smoothly slide on the rails thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Drawers have become an indispensable item in people's daily life, and are widely used in governmental agencies and private enterprises for document management, as well as in most families for holding various articles. Currently, most drawers available in the markets are mass-produced on production lines in factories. It is very possible these mass-produced drawers are not accurately produced and assembled to result in many problems, such as errors in the drawer bottom level caused by errors in the thickness and dimensions of the drawer bottom, errors in the sliding direction of the drawer caused by a drawer front panel not centered at a front end of a drawer box, and an axial slope of the drawer preven...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0004] A primary object of the present invention is to provide a drawer adjusting mechanism, which includes a drawer bottom level adjusting mechanism, a drawer sliding direction adjusting mechanism, and a drawer slope adjusting mechanism to enable an assembled drawer with errors to smoothly slide along the rails thereof.

Problems solved by technology

It is very possible these mass-produced drawers are not accurately produced and assembled to result in many problems, such as errors in the drawer bottom level caused by errors in the thickness and dimensions of the drawer bottom, errors in the sliding direction of the drawer caused by a drawer front panel not centered at a front end of a drawer box, and an axial slope of the drawer preventing the drawer from smoothly sliding along the rails thereof.

When a consumer purchases the currently very popular DIY (Do It Yourself) furniture and tries to assemble different parts thereof, the drawers included in the DIY furniture might also have the same dimensional errors.
