ABSTRACT:
A drawer assembly for vehicles, and more particularly to a system of opposed drawers for use in a vehicle or trailer. The drawers integrate into the structure of a vehicle for storage or concealment of the retractable features, and can cantilever out and away from the storage compartment, when the drawers extend. The drawer assembly includes an upper drawer and a lower drawer, the bottom or pan of the upper drawer bottom located in substantially the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the lower drawer. An upper drawer rail mounts to the upper drawer and a lower drawer rail mounts to the lower drawer. The upper and lower drawer rails have a rail length greater than the drawer length. The upper drawer rail is slidably received by a bulkhead upper rail, and the lower drawer rail slidably received by a bulkhead lower rail, the bulkhead lower rail positioned parallel to and directly beneath the bulkhead upper rail, and an extended rail portion of the upper drawer rail is positioned directly above the lower drawer rail, when both the upper drawer the lower drawer assembly are in a retracted position. Trucks or bearing blocks may serve as the bulkhead rails.
