Abstract
A device for fastening a drawer front plate to a drawer metal drawer side wall having in a front end thereof a recess includes a block having a groove and fastened to the front plate by dowels. The drawer side wall is insertable into the groove. An adjustment plate which is held in the block projects into the recess of the drawer side wall. The drawer side wall has a slot which is disposed behind the recess and into which engages a projection protruding from a side wall of the block. An adjustment plate which abuts with the upper and lower edges of the recess in the side wall is arranged in the groove of the block.
Claims8
A device for use in mounting a drawer front panel to a metal side wall of the drawer, said device comprising:
- a block member formed of plastic material and adapted to be attached to a drawer front panel, said block member having therein a groove defined by spaced portions of said block member;
- an adjustment plate positioned within said groove;
- a projection extending into said groove from one of said portions of said block member or from said adjustment plate;
- whereby said block member is fittable over a front end of a drawer metal side wall with the side wall inserted in said groove with said portions of said block member embracing opposite sides of the front end of the side wall, with said adjustment plate adapted to extend into a recess formed in the front end of the side wall and having upper and lower edges to abut upper and lower edges, respectively, of the side wall defining the recess, and with said projection extending into a slot formed in the side wall behind the recess, to thereby form means for initially fastening said block to the side wall;
- cooperating means provided on said block member and on said adjustment plate for selectively adjusting the relative vertical position of said block member, and thereby of the front plate, with respect to said adjustment plate, and thereby to the side wall;
- and
- screw means, extending in a direction to be parallel to the front plate and transverse to said groove and adapted to extend through the slot in the side wall, for tightly connecting said portions of said block member to the side wall, and thereby for preventing further vertical adjustment.
