ABSTRACT:
An improvement in a drawer of the type having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall structure extending upwardly from the bottom wall and defining in conjunction therewith a storage space. The peripheral wall structure has a front wall, a rear wall and first and second laterally spaced side walls, each extending between the front and rear walls. The improvement resides in each of the side walls being a single piece and having an integrally formed guide slot for cooperation with spaced elements on a cabinet with which the drawers are associated. The spaced elements move in the slots and support and guide sliding movement of the drawer. In a preferred form, each of the guide slots has a laterally opening, U-shape in cross section and the guide slots on each drawer open laterally away from each other. Preferably, the drawer is used in combination with a cabinet bounding a storage space and having an opening in its front wall to permit selective movement of the drawer into and out of the space. In a preferred form, laterally spaced guide elements are provided on the cabinet for reception in the guide slots. Each guide element comprises an elongate rail, preferably made from a plastic material such as DELRIN.
