ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a front panel of a drawer to a respective side wall of the drawer includes a housing having an interior and to be mounted to a front end of the drawer side wall. A carrier member is mounted in the interior of the housing and has a U-shaped configuration including a horizontal web and spaced side flanges extending vertically therefrom. A latch member is supported by the carrier member for height displacement relative thereto and has a U-shaped configuration including a vertical web having spaced side flanges extending horizontally rearwardly therefrom. A holding member to be mounted on the drawer front panel has a hook portion to engage with the web of the latch member when the front panel is to be mounted on the drawer. A spring acts on the latch member to urge it upwardly relative to the carrier member and therefore into engagement with the holding member. A bracing screw is threaded to the web of the carrier member and is mounted in the housing to be rotatable relative thereto but to be fixed axially. Rotation of the bracing screw pivots the carrier member and therefore the latch member about horizontal axis to thereby brace the engagement between the latch member and the holding member.
