Each drawer 30 has a housing compartment 31 opened upward and a display surface 32. The drawer 30 is slidably mounted onto the cart 20 with the display surface 32 exposed outwards. The display surface 32 has an in-mold label 40 formed thereon during the injection molding.

[0016]The cart 20 also has a plurality of slide tracks 21 to slidably hold the drawers 30 thereon and allow the drawers 30 to be drawn away from the cart 20 to expose the housing compartments 31. The display surface 32 further has at least one retainer 33 corresponding to each slide track 21 to prevent the drawer 30 from sliding too deep into the slide track 21, thereby the position of the drawer 30 can be confined. The display surface 32 also can have a grip knob 34 to facilitate gripping by a user's hand to draw the drawer 30.

Abstract

A drawer cart with in-mold labels includes a cart and a plurality of drawers made by injection molding. Each drawer has a housing compartment opened upward and a display surface. The drawers are slidably mounted onto the cart with the display surfaces exposed outwards and can be partially drawn away from the cart to expose the housing compartment. The display surface contains an in-mold label formed during the injection molding. The in-mold label has patterns for indication and visual aesthetic, and also facilitating classification of goods held in the drawers. The patterns on the in-mold label can be designed differently in response to varying display surfaces and can be combined to form a whole pattern to enhance total design sense and meet use requirements.
