  • Patent number: 5443311
    Abstract: A sliding work platform for a drawer includes a flat panel with depending side and rear flanges and a depending tray along the front edge thereof. The drawer side walls are respectively coupled to slide assemblies, each including a runner defining an upwardly opening channel. The platform panel spans the drawer side walls and the side flanges extend down respectively into the channels of the drawer slide runners. The length of the tray is less than the distance between the drawer side walls so that it nests within the drawer. The platform slides forwardly and rearwardly of the drawer between a forward position completely covering the drawer and a rearward position permitting access to the drawer.
