Abstract
A cabinet with a plurality of stacked drawers has an outer frame and a plurality of first track members carried on opposed inner walls of the frame. Each first track member defines a pair of inwardly extending, spaced arms. A plurality of drawers carry at least one roller on each lateral side, with the rollers resting on an inwardly extending arm so that the rollers of each drawer roll along the arm in which they rest as the drawer is opened and closed. There are more drawers present than track members on either of the inner walls, which provide an economy of weight as well as improved function. Additionally, a novel drawer slide structure is shown in which the first track members may have at least one arm which defines a longitudinally extending, convex rib on which the drawer rollers travel, for improved operation over other designs.
