Abstract
An open top storage drawer having a storage compartment formed by front, back, side and bottom walls molded integrally of plastic. An undercut is formed in a lower portion of the front wall to provide a handle for slidably removing the drawer from a storage space. A pair of offset, vertically spaced U-shaped slots are formed on the front wall. The upper slot defines a window for viewing the interior of the storage compartment, and preferably supports a transparent panel to enclose the front of the drawer. A content identifying label is mounted in the lower slot in juxtaposition with a backing wall. The drawer provides both a frontal visual inspection of the drawer's contents through the window and a printed identification thereof.
