ABSTRACT:
A combined handle-securing arrangement for unsecuring and opening a drawer in a cabinet and for closing and securing the drawer in the cabinet by a single action, and a drawer-cabinet including the combined handle-securing arrangement. The combined handle-securing arrangement including (a) a substantially L-shaped element having a first arm and a second arm being connected therebetween to form the substantially L-shaped element, the first arm being disposed substantially along a frontal face of the drawer, the second arm being disposable above the drawer, the L-shaped element being hingedly attachable to the drawer via a hinge, the hinge being located about a connection region of the first and second arms, the second arm being formed with a securing mechanism for accommodating an edge element of the cabinet; and (b) a spring element being connected to the second arm of the L-shaped element, the spring element being disposable against a contra element being connected to the drawer, such that when the drawer is closed the spring element forces together the edge element of the cabinet and the securing mechanism of the second arm, thereby securing the drawer closed, whereas when a user pulls the first arm away from the face of the drawer against a force imposed by the spring element, the L-shaped element rotates about the hinge, so as to separate the edge element of the cabinet and the securing mechanism of the second arm, thereby the drawer may become unsecured and concomitantly openable.
