Abstract
A fitting fastens each side of a drawer front panel to metal drawer sides. In a vertical web adjacent the front panel of each drawer side is provided a recess open towards the front and having vertically projecting therein a nose to hang a holding member of the front panel. A slot, which is stamped out of the drawer side and into which projects a nose of a clamping plate, is disposed behind the recess. The clamping plate can be clamped to a holding plate which is perpendicular to the front panel and which is secured to the front panel. The holding plate and the clamping plate, which together form the holding member, receive therebetween the vertical web of the drawer side.
Claims20
A fitting for mounting each of opposite ends of a drawer front panel to a respective metal drawer side in the form of a vertical web, said fitting comprising:
- a front end of said vertical web of said metal drawer side having therein a recess open to the front and having a hook shape defined by a nose of said front end of said vertical web projecting upwardly into said recess, said front end of said vertical web having at least one abutment surface;
- a holding member to be attached to the respective end of the drawer front panel, said holding member including an integral holding plate extending from said holding member in a direction parallel to said vertical web, and said holding member including means to fit into said recess in said front end of said vertical web with said holding plate extending along a first side of said front end of said vertical web;
- a clamping plate extending along a second side of said front end of said vertical web such that said front end of said vertical web is positioned between said holding plate and said clamping plate, said clamping plate having abutment means for engaging said abutment surface of said front end of said vertical web, whereby said means of said holding member fitting into said recess and said abutment means engaging said abutment surface provide an initial mounting of said holding member and thus the drawer front panel of said drawer side;
- and
- tightening means, operably associated with said mounting plate and said clamping plate, for urging said clamping plate toward said mounting plate and thereby for clamping therebetween said front end of said vertical web in a final mounted position.
