Abstract
A combination drawer includes a drawer body, at least one dividing unit mounted in the drawer body, and at least one retractable member slidably mounted on the dividing unit. Thus, the retractable member co-operates with the dividing unit to fit the length of the drawer body so that the total length of the retractable member and the dividing unit can be adjusted to fit the drawer body of different sizes, thereby enhancing the versatility of the combination drawer.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A combination drawer, comprising:
a drawer body; at least one dividing unit mounted in the drawer body; and at least one retractable member slidably mounted on the dividing unit; wherein the dividing unit includes a baffle; the baffle of the dividing unit has two opposite sides each provided with an elongate slideway; the retractable member is slidably mounted on the baffle of the dividing unit; the retractable member has two opposite sides each provided with a slide slidably mounted in the respective slideway of the baffle to guide a sliding movement of the retractable member relative to the baffle of the dividing unit; the retractable member is movable relative to the baffle of the dividing unit to abut an inner side of the drawer body so that the baffle of the dividing unit co-operates with the retractable member to fit a length of the drawer body.
2 . The combination drawer of claim 1 , wherein
the baffle of the dividing unit has an interior provided with two fixing slots; the dividing unit further includes two end caps mounted on two opposite ends of the baffle; each of the end caps of the dividing unit has a side provided with two fixing pins inserted into the fixing slots of the baffle respectively to affix each of the end caps to the baffle.
3 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein each of the fixing slots of the baffle is extended through the two opposite ends of the baffle.
4 . The combination drawer of claim 1 , wherein
the retractable member has an interior provided with a mounting chamber mounted on the baffle of the dividing unit; the mounting chamber of the retractable member has a shape matching that of the baffle of the dividing unit.
5 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein
each of the end caps of the dividing unit has an interior provided with two fixing holes; the combination drawer further comprises at least one adjusting piece mounted on one of the end caps of the dividing unit to increase a length of the baffle; the adjusting piece has a side provided with two fixing stubs inserted into the fixing holes of one of the end caps to affix the adjusting piece to one of the end caps of the dividing unit.
6 . The combination drawer of claim 5 , wherein
the adjusting piece has an interior provided with two fixing bores aligning with the fixing stubs respectively; the fixing stubs of one adjusting piece are inserted into the fixing bores of another adjusting piece.
7 . The combination drawer of claim 5 , wherein
the combination drawer further comprises two adhesive members mounted on the two opposite ends of the baffle and bonded onto the drawer body to affix the baffle of the dividing unit to the drawer body; the adjusting piece and the retractable member are located at the two opposite ends of the baffle respectively; one of the adhesive members is mounted on the retractable member; the other one of the adhesive members is mounted on the adjusting piece.
8 . The combination drawer of claim 1 , wherein
the combination drawer further comprises at least one separation unit mounted in the drawer body and connected with the dividing unit; the separation unit includes: a partition; a fastening member mounted on a first end of the partition and connected with the dividing unit; and a plug mounted on a second end of the partition; the fastening member of the separation unit has an upper end provided with a hook portion hooked onto the baffle of the dividing unit; the fastening member of the separation unit has a surface provided with a guide rail slidably mounted in the respective slideway of the baffle to guide a sliding movement of the fastening member of the separation unit relative to the baffle of the dividing unit.
9 . The combination drawer of claim 8 , wherein
the partition of the separation unit is perpendicular to the baffle of the dividing unit and has two opposite sides each provided with an elongate guiding groove; the guide rail of the fastening member is aligned with the guiding groove of the partition; when a first separation unit is connected with a second separation unit which is perpendicular to the first separation unit, the hook portion of the fastening member of the first separation unit is hooked onto the partition of the second separation unit, and the guide rail of the fastening member of the first separation unit is slidable in the guiding groove of the partition of the second separation unit.
10 . The combination drawer of claim 8 , wherein
the partition of the separation unit has an interior provided with two locating channels; the fastening member of the separation unit has a side provided with two locating pins inserted into the locating channels of the partition to affix the fastening member to the partition; the plug of the separation unit has a side provided with two locating tubes inserted into the locating channels of the partition to affix the plug to the partition.
11 . The combination drawer of claim 10 , wherein each of the locating channels of the partition is extended through the first end and the second end of the partition.
12 . The combination drawer of claim 8 , wherein
the plug of the separation unit has an interior provided with two positioning holes; the combination drawer further comprises at least one adjusting block mounted on the plug of the separation unit to increase a length of the partition; the adjusting block has a side provided with two positioning pins inserted into the positioning holes of the plug to affix the adjusting block to the plug of the separation unit.
13 . The combination drawer of claim 12 , wherein
the adjusting block has an interior provided with two positioning bores aligning with the positioning pins respectively; the positioning pins of one adjusting block are inserted into the positioning bores of another adjusting block.
14 . The combination drawer of claim 8 , wherein
the plug of the separation unit has an interior provided with two positioning holes; the combination drawer further comprises at least one oblique block mounted on the plug of the separation unit to increase a length of the partition; the oblique block has a first side provided with two locking pins inserted into the positioning holes of the plug to affix the oblique block to the plug of the separation unit; the oblique block has a second side provided with a ramp.
15 . The combination drawer of claim 12 , wherein
the adjusting block has an interior provided with two positioning bores; the combination drawer further comprises at least one oblique block mounted on the adjusting block to increase a length of the partition; the oblique block has a first side provided with two locking pins inserted into the positioning bores of the adjusting block to affix the oblique block to the adjusting block; the oblique block has a second side provided with a ramp.
16 . The combination drawer of claim 8 , wherein
the combination drawer comprises a plurality of dividing units, a plurality of retractable members mounted on the dividing units, and a plurality of separation units located between the dividing units; each of the separation units is transversely disposed between the dividing units.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
