It is an object of the invention to provide means whereby a drawer or shelf can be pulled out from a housing to approximately its full extent.
According to the invention there is provided a telescopic unit for supporting a storage member, such as a shelf, mounted on one part of the telescopic unit so that when the storage member is moved the parts of the telescopic unit move relative to each other.
Suitably the parts of the telescopic unit may comprise two channel section members which have a sliding fit one with the other, the one being lockingly engaged on the other part.
Alternatively the parts of the telescopic unit may comprise one of channel shape and one of L-shape.
Preferably the one part may be lockingly engaged with the other part by means of a lug engaging in a slot.
The sortage member may also slide relative to the one part of the telescopic unit. This relative sliding movement may be accomplished by means of a spigot engaging in a slot in the one part.
Three embodiments of the invention are diagrammatically illustrated, by way of example, in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. I shows an exploded view of one embodiment of extendible runner for a shelf;
FIG. 2 shows an extendible shelf mounted on the runner of FIG. 1, in the fully extended position;
FIG. 3 shows part of another embodiment of runner; FIG. 4 shows a shelf for use with the runners;
FIG. 5 shows a drawer;
FIG. 6 shows a particular form of shelf or platform for supporting a bowl or other receptacle;
FIGS. 7a to 76 shows an exploded view of a third embodiment of telescopic runner; and
FIG. 8 shows part of a drawer mounted in the runner.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 of the drawings an extendible runner, indicated generally by l, for'a shelf comprises an inner U-shaped or channel member 3 which slides telescopically within an outer member 2 also U- shaped orof channel section. The outer member 2 has a lower limb 4 which has a narrow portion 4 and a portion 4" of greater width. The portion 4" has a slot 5 which is just less than half the length of the member 2. The inner member 3 also has a lower limb 6 which has a narrow portion 6' and a portion'6" of greater width including a slot 7. The narrow portion 6 includes an integral depending lug 8. As shown in FIG. 1 the wider portions 4" and 6" of the lower limbs 4 and 6 are at opposite ends of the respective members 2 and 3.
A shelf 9 which is extendible has such a width that it just fits inside the U-shaped inner member 3 (FIG. 3) and includes a downwardly depending screw, peg or spigot 10 set midway of its width and just inboard of its edge (FIG. 4).
In use, the telescopic member 1 is supported by brackets or lugs 11 on a suitable framework or base (not shown) with the lug 8 engaged in the slot 5, and the spigot 10 engaged in the slot 7. The spigot 10 prevents the member 1 from disengaging sideways from the shelf 9, which is thus held in correct alignment.
Referring to FIG. 2, if it is desired to retract the shelf from the fully extended position shown, it is only necessary to push the shelf from the outside towards the outer member 2 of the telescopic runner l. The shelf 9 slides in the inner member 3 until the spigot 10 engages the rear end of the slot 7. The inner member 3 of the telescopic runner now slides in the channel of the outer member 2 until the lug 8 engages the rear end of the slot 5, which thus acts as a backstop to prevent the runner from being dismantled accidentally.
In order to extend the shelf, it is merely necessary to grip the front edge of the shelf 10 and draw it away from the outer member 2 so that the spigot 10 runs forwardly in the slot 7 until it engages the front edge of the slot 7. The inner member 3 then moves, under continued drawing motion, until the lug 8 engages the front edge of the slot 5. The shelf is then fully extended to almost its own width, as shown in FIG. 2.
It will be understood that the extendible shelf is usually mounted on two telescopic runners of the kind described, one at each side of the shelf and that the inner member has approximately the same length as the width of the shelf.
FIG. 3 shows a modified form of inner channel member 12, in which the upper limb'is part cut away to provide a partially open channel. The cut away portion of the upper limb of this channel member allows a shelf to be inserted or removed from above instead-of from the front and enables the shelf to be easily removed for cleaning purposes.
The runners can be used for extending drawers 13, as shown in FIG. 5, by building up four sides as shown.
Alternatively, the shelf may include a recess 14 (FIG. 6) for holding a bowl, wash-basin or receptacle (not shown). Such an arrangement is suitable for use in hospitals, laboratories or kitchens where it is desirable to provide a basin which is extendible or retractable into a cupboard.
Referring now to FIGS. 7a to 7c, a further embodiment shown therein comprises, instead of FIG. 2 part 2 having a top flange to prevent part 3 from tipping downwards when extended, the lug 8 of FIG. 1 can be bent as in FIG. 7b or 70 from x to y (in dotted lines) 7 after insertion into the slot 100 so that it cannot be withdrawn and thus allow part 200 to tip downwards. Part 200 is of L-shape. Also part 3 of FIG. 2 is modified to have a spring or hinged clip 30 attached to the top flange midway in the length of member 300 in FIG. 7. The clip 30, which engages against a peg l0 situated on the top and rear end of a shelf 9 so that when the shelf is pulled out, the peg 10 engages the clip 30 and draws the member 300 forward. By bending clip 30 upwards the shelf can be completely disengaged. The member 500 is a stop which is engaged by peg 10 when the shelf ispushed back and causes part 300, to be pushed back with it when so engaged.
FIG. 8 shows how part 300 (FIG. 7), can engage inside the back of a drawer so that a drawer provided with a flange 301 to engage in the channel 8 in the member 300 (FIG. 7) can be used in place of a shelf.
It is also to be understood that the runners and shelf may be manufactured from any suitable material, for example metal or plastics.
The invention therefore provides a simple and inexpensive extendible runner for a shelf or drawer which requires no wheels or revolving parts.
