Abstract
A sliding drawer device is formed of a first component, and a second component slid ably held inside the first component. The first component includes left and right side walls to be spaced apart and face each other, left and right guide grooves formed in inner sides of the left and right side walls, and left and right slide grooves formed in the side walls to communicate with the respective left and right guide grooves. The left and right slide grooves extend in the back and forth directions. The second component includes left and right outer side portions placed between the left and right side walls to face the same, and a pair of left and right protrusions projecting outward from the respective outer side portions. The left and right protrusions can be inserted into the respective left and right slide grooves through the guide grooves to be slidable along the slide grooves. The distance between the end surfaces of the left and right protrusions is greater than the distance between the two inner surfaces of the left and right guide grooves. The protrusions can be easily assembled with the slide grooves without disengagement.
