Modular housing

A housing for receiving a pair of opposing sliding bars operationally associated with a drawer within a multi-compartment storage unit, the housing comprising:

• a plurality of outer walls defining an inner chamber;
• a first wall opposing a second wall;
• the housing defining:
• (i) a linear channel extending through a first portion of the inner chamber between the first wall and the second wall, the channel opening at opposite ends of the housing, the channel defining a first guide for sliding movement of a pair of opposing bars along a first axis, and (ii) a first surface sloped toward a second guide extending across the inner chamber, perpendicular to the channel;
• the first wall and the second wall defining a mount for supporting a rotatable actuator along a second axis extending between the first wall and the second wall, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis;
• and
• a second mount for securing the housing to the multi-compartment storage unit.

A kit comprising a pair of sliding bar assemblies, an actuator, a housing, and an axial mounting member, for use in a multi-compartment storage unit, the housing comprising:

• a plurality of outer walls defining an inner chamber;
• a first wall opposing a second wall;
• the housing defining:
• (i) a linear channel extending through a first portion of the inner chamber between the first wall and the second wall, the channel opening at opposite ends of the housing, the channel defining a first guide for sliding movement of the sliding bar assemblies in opposing relation along a first axis, and (ii) a first surface sloped toward a second guide extending across the inner chamber;
• the first wall and the second wall defining a mount for rotatably supporting the actuator along a second axis extending between the first wall and the second wall, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis;
• and
• at least one fastening element for securing the housing to the multi-compartment storage unit.
