Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A resilient clip member of unitary construction for maintaining drawer dividers in position comprising a base member having integral converging side walls extending from one surface thereof, the distal ends of said side walls laterally spaced from each other to frictionally engage a drawer divider inserted therEbetween, a plurality of transversely extending abutments axially spaced from each other and integrally formed on the opposite surface of said base member, said abutments adapted for slidable cooperative insertion within corresponding grooves in opposed walls of a drawer, said abutments having a plurality of ridges on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, transversely spaced from each other and extending from the base member to a point adjacent to the free ends of said abutments.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A resilient clip member of unitary construction for maintaining drawer dividers in position comprising a base member having integral converging side walls extending from one surface thereof, the distal ends of said side walls laterally spaced from each other to frictionally engage a drawer divider inserted therEbetween, a plurality of transversely extending abutments axially spaced from each other and integrally formed on the opposite surface of said base member, said abutments adapted for slidable cooperative insertion within corresponding grooves in opposed walls of a drawer, said abutments having a plurality of ridges on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, transversely spaced from each other and extending from the base member to a point adjacent to the free ends of said abutments.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
144 words
A resilient clip member of one piece construction for maintaining a drawer divider in spaced parallel relationship to the side walls of a drawer, said clip member including: a. a base member having a greater height than width, b. a pair of converging side walls integral with said base member and extending from one surface thereof, adapted to frictionally engage an edge of a drawer divider therebetween, c. a plurality of transversely extending abutments on the other surface of said base member, d. said abutments axially spaced from each other and having a plurality of ridges on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, e. said ridges extending from the base member to a point adjacent to the free ends of the abutments, whereby said abutments are adapted for insertion within a plurality of horizontal slots on opposed walls of a drawer and slidable therein.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
144 words
A resilient clip member of one piece construction for maintaining a drawer divider in spaced parallel relationship to the side walls of a drawer, said clip member including: a. a base member having a greater height than width, b. a pair of converging side walls integral with said base member and extending from one surface thereof, adapted to frictionally engage an edge of a drawer divider therebetween, c. a plurality of transversely extending abutments on the other surface of said base member, d. said abutments axially spaced from each other and having a plurality of ridges on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, e. said ridges extending from the base member to a point adjacent to the free ends of the abutments, whereby said abutments are adapted for insertion within a plurality of horizontal slots on opposed walls of a drawer and slidable therein.
