Abstract: A portable storage and transportation cart that is easy to assemble, disassemble, and reassemble, and a kit for constructing same. The cart includes a plurality of elongated hollow frame members having substantially uniform outer profiles and at least one series of incrementally spaced transverse holes along their length. The frame members may have various lengths. The cart also may include a plurality of three-way couplings, a plurality of unions, a plurality of cylindrical shelf tubes, a plurality of casters, and a plurality of wheel adapters. The various components of the cart or a portion thereof are configured and suited for non-permanent assembly together in a variety of combinations and configurations to form various portable utility and transportation carts.

Abstract: A kit for constructing a variety of easy-to-assemble portable storage and transportation carts is disclosed. The kit includes a plurality of elongated hollow frame members having substantially uniform outer profiles. The frame member includes at least one series of incrementally spaced transverse holes along their length. The transverse holes are perpendicular to the sidewalls and pass through the longitudinal centerlines of the frame members. The frame members in a kit may have the same length, or two or more lengths of frame members may be included. The kit also includes a plurality of three-way couplings for connecting two or three frame members together at right angles to each other. In addition, the kit may include a plurality of unions for connecting the ends of two frame members together end-to-end. A plurality of cylindrical shelf tubes is also provided.

Abstract: A drawer construction that may be quickly assembled without tools or separate hardware, including opposed side walls having a drawer bottom support and retainers for receiving and holding down opposed front and rear walls, and a drawer bottom.

Abstract: A guide rail for rear-mounted drawer slide assemblies of the type attached to the rear wall of cabinets, having an elongated side wall with front and rear ends, a front mounting surface parallel to the side wall for mounting to a drawer cabinet front wall, and an extension member with a radially outwardly extending tongue for connecting the guide rail to a cabinet rear wall by inserting the extension member and tongue through the rear of the cabinet.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for the side rails of rear-mounted drawer slide assemblies, including a base, spaced apart side walls, and substantially rigid L-shaped retainers attached to each side wall. The L-shaped retainers each have a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, where the vertical portion terminates with a gripping edge that is spaced from the front surface of the bracket base for frictionally receiving and laterally adjusting a side rail tongue portion.

Abstract: A cabinet door or doors are each hingedly mounted to the slide brackets of a pair of slide track assemblies which, in turn, are secured to a side wall of a cabinet. A pair of inelastic cables of substantially the same length connect the upper and lower slide brackets in a prescribed configuration to prevent skewing of the slide brackets at all times. One of the cables extends rearwardly from the upper bracket across an upper rear pulley, downwardly and forwardly around a lower front pulley and back into the lower bracket. The other cable follows the opposite path from the upper bracket forwardly around an upper front pulley, downwardly and rearwardly around a lower rear pulley, and forwardly into the lower bracket. Because the cables are of equal length, they insure that vertical alignment is maintained.
