Benefits of technology

[0003]The present invention is directed to devices and apparatus for use in positioning and securing a drawer on a drawer slide member of a cabinet. There may be a positioning pin retained on a side wall of the drawer slide element. The positioning pin may have a pin attached to a springy projecting arm for positioning the pin in a hole in the bottom of the drawer. There may be a securing pin attached interior to the drawer slide member that may be rotated about a rotating end of a housing to posit

Problems solved by technology

This type of positioning can be difficult due to the necessity to position the holes over a protruding pin.
Using a threaded type bolt or screw to adjust a drawer height can also be a tedious procedure.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The following detailed description represents the best currently contemplated modes for carrying out the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention.

[0014]Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, an undermount slide drawer adjustment and securing apparatus 10 may have a positioning pin 12, a securing pin 14 and an adjustment cam 16 attached to drawer slide member 100 positioned to engage a drawer 102. The drawer 102 may be a box with open top drawer type. The drawer slide member 100 may have a “U” channel shape with two side walls 104 and a top wall 106. The drawer slide member 100 may be shaped to operate as a part of an underdrawer slide assembly with the drawer slide member 100 being the element on which a drawer 102 is positioned.

[0015]The positioning pin 12 may be retained on a positioning bracket 20 attached adjacent a proximal end 108 of a drawer slide member 100. Th...

Abstract

The present invention may be used for positioning and securing a drawer on a drawer slide member of a cabinet. There may be a positioning pin retained on a side wall of the drawer slide element. The positioning pin may have a pin attached to a springy projecting arm for positioning the pin in a hole in the bottom of the drawer. There may be a securing pin attached interior to the drawer slide member that may be rotated about a rotating end of a housing to position a slot pin through a pin slot in a side wall of the drawer slide member. The slot pin may engage an elongated aperture formed in the drawer to inhibit removal of the drawer from the drawer slide member. There may also be an adjustment cam rotatably retained in an adjustment bracket attached interior to the drawer slide member. The adjustment cam may have a protruding portion that may be rotated upwardly through a cam aperture in the top wall of the drawer slide member to raise the drawer height.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to devices used to position and secure a drawer element that may be an open top drawer box on an undermount drawer slide member. The new apparatus may have a spring biased positioning pin, a rotating height adjustment cam and a drawer securing pin to position and secure a drawer to a drawer slide.[0002]Drawer positioning pins that may be rigidly attached to a drawer slide element to engage a hole or bore in a drawer box may be known for use in retaining a drawer box on a slide. Screw type positioning bolts may currently be used to elevate a drawer box relative to a drawer slide element to position a drawer box on a drawer slide. A drawer box may be positioned on a pair of cabinet drawer slides for positioning holes in the drawer on the rigidly attached pins. This type of positioning can be difficult due to the necessity to position the holes over a protruding pin. Using a threaded type bolt or screw to adjust a drawer height ca...
