ABSTRACT:
A drawer construction including a drawer front and a drawer frame, wherein the drawer front is a unitary, hollow, blow-molded thermoplastic member and the drawer frame is of sheet metal. The drawer frame is defined by a bottom wall, a rear wall and two side walls. The front of the bottom wall is bent upwardly ninety degrees, and the free edge of this bent portion is gripped by spaced, downwardly extending tabs, the latter being integral with the drawer front. Similarly, the front portions of the drawer frame side walls are bent inwardly ninety degrees and each upper free edge portion thereof is gripped by a respective tab integral with the drawer frame. The drawer front and drawer frame are held together in correct relationship by fasteners extending from the drawer frame into the rear wall portion of the drawer front. This drawer front tab and frame engagement transmits most of the drawer opening force from the drawer front to the drawer frame, only a small portion of the opening force being transmitted from the front to the frame by the fasteners. This arrangement precludes the often encountered problem of the fasteners eventually rupturing the relatively thin plastic wall of the drawer front.
