ABSTRACT:
A spacing-saving undercabinet spice jar drawer comprises a tray (10) with five transverse, semi-cylindrical channels (11) for holding spice jars (12) in rows. The sides of the tray have raised front flanges (15A and 15B) and rear flanges (17A and 17B), the spaces between the front and rear flanges being notches (16A and 16B). The flanges of the tray slide into two guide rails (23A and 23B) of a mounting bracket (20). The front ends of the rails have sloped portions (24A and 24B) which terminate in deep cradles (25A and 25B). The tray can be opened by pulling it straight out until the notches are over the cradles. The front (F) of the tray is then lowered until the front edges of the rear flanges engage the bottom of the cradles, and the rear edges of the rear flanges engage the underside of the mounting bracket, such that the tray is angled downwardly about 45 degrees. As positioned, the tray allows convenient viewing and access to the spice jars. Because the transverse channels hold the jars in lateral rows, each jar is supported by a portion of a channel while the tray is tilted. Therefore, the jars can be individually removed and replaced without disturbing other jars.
