Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cabinet for accommodating objects (such as clothes) and, more particularly, to a basket drawer which pulls rollers easily.
Description of the Prior Art
A conventional cabinet is applied to accommodate objects and contains a drawer fixed across a rail, so the drawer is pulled difficultly because of pulling resistance. To decrease the pulling resistance, the conventional cabinet contains a drawer, two rails, and two rollers arranged on the two rails respectively, such that the drawer is pulled easily. However, the two rollers are arranged on the two rails respectively, thus occupying storage space and increasing manufacture cost.
A conventional basket drawer contains a hollow accommodation space, and two rollers are arranged on two rails of the cabinet, thus having an unattractive appearance. Furthermore, it is not easy to form the two rails on cables of the basket drawer, so the two rollers are arranged on the two rails of the conventional cabinet. The basket drawer when loaded cannot be pulled easily.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a basket drawer structure in which a peripheral rib has two recessed portions respectively formed on two rear ends of two outer sides of the basket. Two orifices are defined inside the two recessed portions individually, and two first rollers are rotatably riveted on the two recessed portions respectively. Hence, the two first rollers of the basket correspond to two rail elements respectively, and two second rollers of the two rail elements correspond to the basket, so that the basket is supported and rolls by way of the two first rollers and the two second rollers, thus pulling the basket smoothly.
To obtain the above-mentioned objective, a basket drawer structure provided by the present invention contains: a basket and two rail elements.
The basket includes a mesh formed on a lower end of the basket, a holding space defined in the basket, an opening formed on an upper end of the basket, and a peripheral rib arranged around the opening and to have a square cross section of the peripheral rib. An inner wall of the peripheral rib connects with the mesh. The peripheral rib has two recessed portions respectively formed on two rear ends of two outer sides of the basket. The two recessed portions define two depths, two orifices are defined inside the two recessed portions individually, and two first rollers are rotatably riveted on the two recessed portions respectively. The two recessed portions have two shaft holes defined thereon individually, and two rivets insert through the two shaft holes to rivet with two centers of the two first rollers individually. Hence, the two first rollers are rotatably riveted on the two recessed portions respectively, and the two orifices of the two recessed portions provide two riveting spaces to the two first rollers individually.
The two rail elements are spaced and symmetrically fixed on a shelf or a cabinet. A distance between the two rail elements is equal to a width of the basket. The two rail elements respectively include two support rails arranged on two inner sides of the two rail elements. Two second rollers are riveted on two front ends of the two support rails individually. The basket is retained in the two support rails by way of the peripheral rib, and the two second rollers of the two rail elements are mounted in the peripheral rib.
The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustration only, preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
With reference to
The basket 10 includes a mesh 11 formed on a lower end thereof, a holding space 111 defined in the basket 10, an opening 112 formed on an upper end of the basket 10, and a peripheral rib 12 arranged around the opening 112 to have a square cross section of the peripheral rib 12. An inner wall of the peripheral rib 12 connects with the mesh 11. The peripheral rib 12 has two recessed portions 13 respectively formed on two rear ends of two outer sides of the basket 10. The two recessed portions 13 define two depths H0, two orifices 14 are defined inside the two recessed portions 13 individually, and two first rollers 15 are rotatably riveted on the two recessed portions 13 respectively. The two orifices 14 of the two recessed portions 13 provide two riveting spaces to the two first rollers 15 individually.
The two rail elements 20 are spaced and symmetrically fixed on a shelf or a cabinet. A distance between the two rail elements 20 is equal to a width of the basket 10. The two rail elements 20 respectively include two support rails 21 arranged on two inner sides of the two rail elements 20. Two second rollers 22 are riveted on two front ends of the two support rails 21 individually. The basket 10 is retained in the two support rails 21 by way of the peripheral rib 12, and the two second rollers 22 of the two rail elements 20 are mounted in the peripheral rib 12, so that two rail elements 20 support the basket 10. The two first rollers 15 of the basket 10 are accommodated in the two support rails 21, so that the two rail elements 20 support the basket 10.
When the basket 10 is fixed between the two rail elements 20, two front ends of the two rail elements 20 support the basket 10 by using the two second rollers 22, and a rear end of the basket 10 supports the two rail elements 20 by way of the two first rollers 15.
Referring to
As shown in
Accordingly, the two first rollers 15 of the basket 10 correspond to the two rail elements 20 respectively, and the two second rollers 22 of the two rail elements 20 correspond to the basket 10, so that the basket 10 is supported and rolls by way of the two first rollers 15 and the two second rollers 22, thus pulling the basket 10 smoothly and saving effort.
While various embodiments in accordance with the present invention have been shown and described, it is clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
