  • Patent number: 5243736
    Abstract: A drawer stop to prevent the unintentional removal of drawer assemblies by creating a frictional stop of the drawer at the front parting rail of the case good. The frictional engagement can be overcome to remove the drawer by sharply withdrawing the drawer. The drawer stop is attached to the female drawer guide on the bottom of the drawer assembly. The stop mechanism is manufactured from a low density polyethylene which has the compressive resiliency to allow the frictional engagement to be overcome. The stop may be secured to the bottom of the drawer by nails or hot melt glue or both.
