A method for manufacturing drawers, wherein the drawers comprise walls and a bottom, wherein said walls comprise at least a front wall, rear wall and two sidewalls, and wherein at least a first wall and a second wall of said walls comprise profiles arranged to fit into each other in a locking manner and which, for this purpose, make use of a tongue and a groove with locking parts, wherein these profiles can be joined laterally into each other, and wherein the respective groove is provided on the interior side of the first wall, whereas the respective tongue is provided on the distal end of the second wall, wherein said first wall and said second wall are manufactured of respectively one board;
- that herein, the respective groove and the respective tongue are formed by means of a treatment, whether or not consisting of several partial treatments, performed on said board;
- and wherein only afterwards said board is subdivided into two or more walls.
A drawer, comprising at least a front wall, a rear wall and two sidewalls, and a bottom, wherein the rear wall is connected to at least one of the sidewalls by means of mutually cooperating locking profiles, whereas the front wall is connected to at least one of the sidewalls by means of connection means other than locking profiles.
A drawer, comprising at least a front wall, a rear wall, two sidewalls, and a bottom, wherein both sidewalls are connected to both the front wall and the rear wall by means of profiles arranged to fit into each other in a locking manner and h use a tongue and groove with locking parts, wherein these profiles can be inserted laterally into each other, wherein the front wall is attached directly to the sidewalls and wherein the connection between the front wall and the sidewalls is achieved in that the respective tongues are provided distally on the foremost ends of the sidewalls, wherein these tongues are realized as solid tongue profiles and thus not split, wherein the respective grooves are situated on the rear side of the front wall, and wherein the tongues fit into the respective grooves by means of an angling movement.
