ABSTRACT:
A drawer stop device, for use in combination with a sliding drawer mounted in a cabinet behind a front door vertically hinged to one lateral side of the cabinet, has a mounting portion which is mounted to a portion adjacent to a vertical front edge of the drawer, a bearing portion having a bearing flange which projects perpendicularly from the mounting portion, and a roller element rotatably mounted on an end of the bearing flange such that it can make rolling contact with the door ahead of the vertical front edge when the drawer is slid out from the cabinet. This prevents the front edges of the drawer from bumping against and scratching the inside surface of the door. If the drawer is of the type wherein the ends of the front panel extend by a small amount of trim laterally beyond the side walls of the drawer, a second drawer stop device is mounted to the side walls behind the trim such that its roller element projects laterally beyond the trim so that it can make rolling contact with the door when the drawer is retracted back into the cabinet. In another version, the mounting flange of the drawer stop device is formed as an integral part of a lateral rail which is mounted to the side walls of the drawer and provides a guide surface on which the drawer slides.
