Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
In a drawer support construction in which a U-shaped cross-section drawer guide is adapted to provide for sliding movement of a drawer in a cabinet, the drawer guide being at least partially supported by a support member fastened to the rear wall of such cabinet, the improvement comprising an improved support member in the form of a support strip including a web; and a pair of spaced parallel vertical flanges perpendicular to said web, said flanges defining a channel for receiving the end of the central body portion of the U-shaped cross-section drawer guide, one of said flanges including a series of horizontally extending slots spaced along the length of said one flange for receiving and accommodating the two legs of the U-shape at the end of said drawer guide for support of said end of said drawer guide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
In a drawer support construction in which a U-shaped cross-section drawer guide is adapted to provide for sliding movement of a drawer in a cabinet, the drawer guide being at least partially supported by a support member fastened to the rear wall of such cabinet, the improvement comprising an improved support member in the form of a support strip including a web; and a pair of spaced parallel vertical flanges perpendicular to said web, said flanges defining a channel for receiving the end of the central body portion of the U-shaped cross-section drawer guide, one of said flanges including a series of horizontally extending slots spaced along the length of said one flange for receiving and accommodating the two legs of the U-shape at the end of said drawer guide for support of said end of said drawer guide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A construction as defined in claim 1, in which said support strip extends continuously so as to accommodate drawer guides at different selected heights within a cabinet enclosure depending upon which slots accommodate said legs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A construction as defined in claim 1, in which said slots in said one flange are spaced at intervals less than the space between the legs of said drawer guide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A construction as defined in claim 3, in which said intervals are 1/2 inch and the space between legs is 1 inch.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
53 words
A construction as defined in claim 3, in which said other flange is provided with slots at predetermined intervals and said web is provided with corresponding reduced thickness portions, whereby an extended support strip can be reduced in length by increments corresponding to such predetermined intervals by separation at said reduced thickness portions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A construction as defined in claim 3, in which said flanges of said U-shaped drawer guide have all of their terminal edges lying in a single plane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
101 words
A support device adapted to support one end of a U-shaped cross-section drawer guide or the like, comprising a support strip including a web portion adapted for attachment of the support strip for mounting vertically within a cabinet; a pair of spaced parallel flanges perpendicular to said web, said flanges defining a channel for receiving the end of the central body portion of the U-shaped cross-section drawer guide, one of said flanges including a series of substantially full depth transverse slots spaced along the length thereof for accommodating the two legs of the U-shape at the end of said drawer guide.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
101 words
A support device adapted to support one end of a U-shaped cross-section drawer guide or the like, comprising a support strip including a web portion adapted for attachment of the support strip for mounting vertically within a cabinet; a pair of spaced parallel flanges perpendicular to said web, said flanges defining a channel for receiving the end of the central body portion of the U-shaped cross-section drawer guide, one of said flanges including a series of substantially full depth transverse slots spaced along the length thereof for accommodating the two legs of the U-shape at the end of said drawer guide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as defined in claim 7, in which said support strip extends continuously so as to accommodate drawer guides at different heights within a cabinet enclosure.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device as defined in claim 7, in which said slots in said one flange are spaced at intervals less than the space between the legs of said drawer guide.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as defined in claim 9, in which said intervals are 1/2 inch and the space between said legs is 1 inch.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
51 words
A device as defined in claim 10, in which the other flange is provided with slots at predetermined intervals and with corresponding reduced thickness portions for said web, whereby an extended support strip can be reduced in length by increments corresponding to such intervals by separation at said reduced thickness portions.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
25 words
A device as defined in claim 10, in which said channel shaped drawer guide has all of its terminal edges lying in a single plane.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
49 words
A construction as claimed in claim 3, in which the spaces between said parallel flanges and the spaces formed by said slots in said flanges are tapered so as to be narrower at the bottom to thus provide for ease of insertion and snug support of said drawer guide.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
22 words
A construction as claimed as claimed in claim 13, in which said support strip consists essentially of a molded synthetic resin material.
