  • Patent number: 5957558
    Abstract: A storage unit includes frame pieces that attach to a support structure. A first rail assembly has first rails disposed on the frame pieces so that facing channels define a storage region. A drawer is positioned in the storage region when in a stored state. A second rail assembly includes second rails each having a second channel. The second channels receive first wheels that are on the first rail assembly while the first channels receive second wheels that are disposed on the second rail assembly. The drawer may be advanced out of the stored state to an extended state and then into a pivoted state wherein it is perpendicular to the stored state. The rails may be immovably fixed to the frame pieces and the drawer, respectively. The drawer may be mounted underneath the support structure. Arcuate guide fingers guide the engagement and disengagement of the first wheels from the second channels when the drawer is moved between the extended and pivoted states.
