Combination Drawer with Adjustable Dividing Function
Abstract
A combination drawer includes a drawer body, two support bars located at two opposite ends of the drawer body, at least one dividing unit mounted in the drawer body and disposed between the support bars, at least two upper retractable members retractably mounted on two opposite ends of the dividing unit and connected with the support bars respectively, and at least two lower retractable members retractably mounted on the two opposite ends of the dividing unit and each abutting an inner side of the drawer body. Thus, the lower retractable members are movable relative to the dividing unit to co-operate with the dividing unit so as to fit the length of the drawer body, such that the total length of the dividing unit and the lower retractable members can be adjusted to fit the drawer body of different sizes.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A combination drawer, comprising:
a drawer body; two support bars located at two opposite ends of the drawer body; at least one dividing unit mounted in the drawer body and disposed between the support bars; at least two upper retractable members retractably mounted on two opposite ends of the dividing unit and connected with the support bars respectively; and at least two lower retractable members retractably mounted on the two opposite ends of the dividing unit and each abutting an inner side of the drawer body.
2 . The combination drawer of claim 1 , wherein
the dividing unit has an upper side provided with an upper slideway to receive each of the upper retractable members and has a lower side provided with a lower slideway to receive each of the lower retractable members; each of the upper retractable members is slidably mounted in the upper slideway of the dividing unit; each of the upper retractable members has a first end provided with a hook portion hooked onto a respective one of the support bars; each of the lower retractable members is slidably mounted in the lower slideway of the dividing unit; each of the lower retractable members has a first end provided with a locating plate abutting the inner side of the drawer body.
3 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein
the upper slideway of the dividing unit has two opposite ends each provided with an upper stop portion; each of the upper retractable members has a second end provided with a flexible upper locking portion that is movable to abut the upper stop portion of the dividing unit so as to stop a further movement of each of the upper retractable members relative to the dividing unit and to prevent each of the upper retractable members from being detached from the upper slideway of the dividing unit.
4 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein
the lower slideway of the dividing unit has two opposite ends each provided with a lower stop portion; each of the lower retractable members has a second end provided with a flexible lower locking portion that is movable to abut the lower stop portion of the dividing unit so as to stop a further movement of each of the lower retractable members relative to the dividing unit and to prevent each of the lower retractable members from being detached from the lower slideway of the dividing unit.
5 . The combination drawer of claim 1 , wherein
the dividing unit includes: at least one baffle; and two fixing seats located at two opposite ends of the baffle; the baffle of the dividing unit is located between the fixing seats.
6 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein the locating plate is pivotally connected with each of the lower retractable members.
7 . The combination drawer of claim 6 , wherein
the first end of each of the lower retractable members is formed with a pivot shaft; and the locating plate has a side formed with a pivot hole pivotally connected with the pivot shaft of each of the lower retractable members.
8 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein the locating plate of each of the lower retractable members has a face provided with an adhesive member bonded onto the drawer body to affix the locating plate of each of the lower retractable members to the drawer body.
9 . 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.
10 . The combination drawer of claim 9 , wherein
the separation unit is perpendicular to the dividing unit; the separation unit has an upper end and a lower end each provided with a hooking section hooked onto the dividing unit to lock the separation unit onto the dividing unit.
11 . The combination drawer of claim 10 , wherein
the hooking section of the separation unit is slidable on the dividing unit; the separation unit is movable relative to the dividing unit to adjust a position of the separation unit in the drawer body.
12 . The combination drawer of claim 9 , wherein
the separation unit includes: at least one partition; and two fixing brackets located at two opposite ends of the partition; the partition of the separation unit is located between the fixing brackets.
13 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein
each of the upper retractable members is movable relative to the dividing unit; each of the lower retractable members is movable relative to the dividing unit 1 .
14 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein
the hook portion of each of the upper retractable members is exposed outward from the upper slideway of the dividing unit; the locating plate of each of the lower retractable members is exposed outward from the lower slideway of the dividing unit.
15 . The combination drawer of claim 3 , wherein the upper locking portion of each of the upper retractable members is received in the upper slideway of the dividing unit.
16 . The combination drawer of claim 4 , wherein the lower locking portion of each of the lower retractable members is received in the lower slideway of the dividing unit.
17 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein each of the upper slideway and the lower slideway is extended through a whole length of the dividing unit.
18 . The combination drawer of claim 2 , wherein each of the upper slideway and the lower slideway is exposed outward from each of the two opposite ends of the dividing unit.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
