Abstract
An elongated substantially flat body has longitudinal rounded bosses extending from one side thereof, and an opening in the flat body accommodates the shank of a screw for affixing the body to a drawer, the longitudinal bosses contacting the drawer surface when the body is attached, the flat portion of the body being spaced from the drawer surface, whereby said bosses accommodate rotation of the body around the screw shank between the operative and inoperative positions without binding and without loosening the screw from the drawer.
Claims2
A one piece drawer stop for preventing accidental removal of a drawer from a drawer receptacle, comprising:
- a substantially flat body of relatively stiff material with some resiliency, including a pair of elongated curved bosses extending longitudinally of said body near the outer edges thereof, and along the entire length of said body;
- an opening in said body between said bosses near one end thereof for receiving a fastener to secure the drawer stop to said drawer and provide a pivot axis for said drawer stop;
- said drawer stop being rotatable about said axis with only the curved portions of said bosses engaging the drawer surface whereby said drawer stop can be snuggly affixed to said drawer without loosening said drawer stop when it is rotated between the operative drawer stopping position and the inoperative drawer removal position.
