Drawer seal

In a storage unit comprising a case, a plurality of drawers arranged in the case in a vertically stacked array, each drawer having a handle for moving the drawer into and out of the case including a first handle attached to a first drawer and a second handle attached to a second drawer stacked immediately below the first, an improved system for sealing between and about the vertically stacked drawers comprising:

• (a) each of said handles extending substantially across the full width of its associated drawer and each handle having an upper portion with a relatively flat upper surface and a lower portion;
• (b) a flexible seal member carried by and depending from the lower portion of said first handle, said sealing member being adapted to contact the flat upper surface of said second handle along substantially the full width of said second handle when the drawers associated with said first and second handles are closed;
• and
• (c) sealing means on said cabinet extending about the periphery of said vertically stacked array of drawers, said sealing means contacting the upper portion of the upper-most handle in said drawer array, the lower portion of the lower-most handle in said drawer array and the side edges of each handle in said drawer array.
