Abstract
The invention relates to a preferably hollow metal stock for drawer sides, especially drawer sides, and to a method for the production of such hollow stock. The hollow material has a hollow space which is foam-filled, to improve the properties of the action of a drawer made from the stock by reducing the noise that occurs when a drawer is opened and closed. The strength of the stock is also improved and as is a drawer made from the stock.
Claims2
A hollow stock for drawer sides, said hollow stock comprising a single metal sheet bent or rolled to comprise uniformly in the longitudinal direction
- a cross-sectional hollow space for accommodating therein a foam filling,
- upper and lower outwardly projecting flanges having a folded-back double wall construction, said upper and lower flanges forming therebetween a slot for accommodating a side edge of a drawer bottom plate, and
- a catch projection formed at a first free end of said sheet and an outwardly projecting catch limb formed at a second free end of said sheet, said catch projection being snappingly retained on said catch limb to form said hollow space,
- said catch limb and said lower flange forming therebetween an inverted channel for accommodating a drawer slide.
