  • Patent number: 8608261
    Abstract: A drawer latch assembly. The assembly provides a catch member which is mechanically connected but a separate component from the drawer handle. The drawer handle and catch operate in a concerted pivoting motion and pivot about a common fastener. The drawer handle provides a pair of arms which extend through the front wall of the drawer and have terminal end portions which include the cut out segment which locates and receives a portion of the latch member. In this manner the latch and terminal end portions of the arms are keyed together which alleviates stress on the pivot point and allows for easy repair of the arrangement in the event that either the handle or the catch become damaged.

  • Publication number: 20070013280
    Abstract: A toolbox with drawers for holding tools and the like and a display rack for holding and displaying such tools. The display rack is movable vertically relative to the toolbox and may assume a first tool accessible and tool visible position and a second position where the tools are not accessible and are not visible. A locking mechanism maintains the inaccessible tool position of the display rack. Preloaded struts operate to extend the display rack to its tool accessible and tool visible condition when the retaining force on the display rack is released. A retaining mechanism is used to hold the display rack in its elevated position.
