Abstract
Abstract This invention provides for a box or holder comprising a drawer, a plate slidable in a parallel relationship with one of the box sidewalls and guided in a guide means connected to the side wall of the box, said plate having a finger-shaped resilient means adapted to cooperate with a coupling means disposed on the drawer, and having a lip-shaped means resilient in the vertical plane of the plate and remaining in the guide means and having opposite to it a raised portion at the upper side, characterized in that the finger-shaped resilient means 13, 14 is directed backwardly and downwardly, that in the closed position of the box the extremity of this means is below the level of the bottom of the guide means and that during the forward displacement of the plate as a consequence of the cooperation between the coupling means (17) on the drawer embodied as a cam and the extremity 15 of the finger-shaped means 13, 14, this means engages the bottom of the guide means 7 and is moved vertically in the plane of the plate.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
A container according to claim 1, wherein the plate is provided at a position to the rear of said free end with a stop directed horizontally away from said side wall to co-operate with the coupling member when the drawer is moved from a withdrawn position towards an inserted position to displace said plate rearwardly.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A container according to claim 1, wherein the elongated part is provided at its free end with a stop directed horizontally away from said side wall to co-operate with said coupling member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
83 words
A container according to claim 4, wherein said coupling member comprises a cam and said plate is provided at a position to the rear of said free end with a second stop directed horizontally away from said side wall to co-operate with the cam when the drawer is moved from a withdrawn position towards an inserted position to displace the plate rearwardly, the distance between the two stops corresponding to the length of the cam in the direction of movement of the plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A container according to claim 1, wherein said side wall carries an end stop arranged to engage said plate and limit rearward movement thereof.
