Abstract
A drawer divider system having one or more generally planar divider members extendable in an upright position between the front and rear of a drawer to partition a drawer interior, and a follower block extendable laterally from each divider member for positioning at a desired distance from the front of the drawer for holding objects and coacting friction means on the divider member and the follower block permitting lengthwise adjustment of the follower block along the divider member and retention of the follower block in a desired location.
Claims4
A drawer divider system including, a generally planar divider member extendable upright between a pair of opposed drawer surfaces to partition a drawer interior, a generally upright follower block extending laterally from said divider member to back up material stored in a drawer, and interengaging means on said follower block and divider member guiding said follower block for sliding linear movement lengthwise of said divider member, said interengaging means including a pair of in-turned flanges extending along the length of said divider member defining a pair of elongate guide channels at the top and bottom of the divider member and a pair of tabs on said follower block positioned one in each of said guide channels, at least one of said tabs having a configuration so as to frictionally engage its guide channel to frictionally hold the follower block at a desired location along the length of the divider member.
