Abstract

A slipping-proof kit drawer structure includes a hollow chest which has an opening directing forwards and at least a pair of sliding tracks on two side walls to allow a drawer to straddle and slid thereon for drawing out and retracting. The inner wall of the chest and the outer side of the drawer are interposed by an elastic latch assembly to form an anchoring condition. Thus a latch function can be achieved to prevent the drawer from slipping out even in a tilted condition during moving of the chest.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A slipping-proof kit drawer structure, comprising:
 a hollow chest which has an opening directing forwards and at least a pair of sliding tracks on a left side wall and a right side wall;   a drawer which has a straddle track respectively on a left side and a right side to be coupled with the sliding tracks in a straddle manner and slidable thereon; and   a latch assembly which includes a clipping member and a latch member; the clipping member being fastened to one side of a front end of the chest and having a box which has an orifice on a front side to allow an extensible latch to be elastically moved and retracted inside; the extensible latch having an elastic hook on one side that is retractable inwards and an indented and irregular latch groove surrounding on another side; the box having a rear end pivotally coupled with a strut-type latch claw which has a front end movable in the latch groove and wedging therein;   wherein the latch member is located on a rear side of a face panel of the drawer and has a second hook directing towards the drawer and latchable by the elastic hook of the extensible latch.   
   
   
       2 . The slipping-proof kit drawer structure of  claim 1 , wherein the box of the clipping member is rectangular and hollow, a rear wall inside the box coupled with the extensible latch through a spring, the latch claw having a strut-type wedge portion on a front side, the latch groove being substantially formed in a heart shape and having an indented detent portion and a channeling portion on a front side, a wedge-shaped switch portion being disposed between the detent portion and the channeling portion, the latch groove further having a concave brake portion in a middle portion to nudge the extensible latch and anchor the wedge portion of the latch claw of the clipping member in the brake portion; the wedge portion being pushed by the switch portion and the elastic force of the spring to return the extensible latch to its original position. 
   
   
       3 . The slipping-proof kit drawer structure of  claim 2 , wherein the box has two elastic clipping claws on a front side that are movable inward towards each other and retracted in the box, and the latch member has a head on a front end that has two sides extending outwards latchable by the clipping claws.
