ABSTRACT:
A drawer-type storage unit for use in a vehicle having a floor defining a floor space having a horizontally accessible access position. The storage unit defines a raised floor when installed on the vehicle floor which is adapted to support a load in a manner similar to the vehicle floor itself. The storage unit includes a drawer formed of a plurality of U-shaped channels having the legs thereof welded together and having hemmed top edges. The drawer includes a front wall which is recessed within the storage unit housing in the closed position thereof and sealed to the top and sidewalls of the housing so as to effectively prevent passage of water and other environmental materials into the drawer in the closed position. The rear of the housing is sealingly closed. The storage unit includes a number of different rigidifying structures to provide a high strength and rigidity therein. The drawer is carried on a heavy duty roller bearing slider for facilitated movement thereof between the closed and open positions notwithstanding tools and the like in the drawer having substantial weight, such as up to 500 pounds or more. The top wall of the unit is provided with a diamond plate surface for facilitated use as a raised floor. The unit is provided with suitable skids adapted for removable bolting of the unit to the vehicle floor for facilitated installation and removal when desired.
