ABSTRACT:
A storage apparatus (10) for converting a standard drawer (12) into a multiple level drawer having a stationary base tray (24) and a shiftable upper tray (26). The base tray (24) is secured to the front of the drawer (12) and includes laterally extending filler flanges (44, 46) on right and left sides of the base tray (24). The upper tray (26) is detachably secured to a support panel (54). Roller and track assemblies (30, 32) interconnect the support panel (54) of the upper tray (26) to the base tray (24). The upper tray (26) is shifted until it extends through an opening (76) formed in the rear wall (18) of the drawer (12). The roller and track assembly (30, 32) preferably includes channels (60) secured to the upstanding walls (34, 36) of the bottom tray (24) and bearing members (62) secured to the channels (60). According to the method of the present invention, the storage apparatus is retrofitted to a standard drawer which is modified by removing a cut-out from the rear wall of the drawer. The base tray (24) is secured to the modified drawer and the upper tray (26) is attached for horizontal shifting to the base tray (24). The method also includes molding the base tray (24) and upper tray (26).
