  • Patent number: 4898300
    Abstract: An improved bin for storing objects and providing better accessibility to the objects when removal is desired. The storage bin is provided with a hinged front wall or hopper having a top portion and a bottom portion. The hopper is shaped so that the top portion and the bottom portion provide a protrusion which extends outward from the front side of the bin in the closed position. When the hopper is in the closed position, the top and bottom portion define the front wall of the bin. When the hopper is in the open position, the bottom portion of the hopper provides a lateral extension of the base of the storage bin and the top portion of the hopper defines a laterally extended, reduced height front wall for the bin. The base of the storage bin is sloped towards the hopper to provide an automatic gravity feed of parts stored therein.

  • Patent number: 4453790
    Abstract: Cabinet drawers are supported by a pair of runners each received within side grooves on the drawer. A first limit stop on the runners cooperates with a mating limit stop adjacent the rear end of the drawer to prevent the drawer from inadvertently being pulled completely out. A third limit stop is provided on the runners for cooperating with the second limit stop when sufficient upward force is applied to the drawers to cause the first limit stop to fail to contact, or to skip past, the second limit stop.
