The present invention refers to a comprehensive system for adapting boxes or other containers to be installed as drawers in furniture or other surfaces.
In its extended form it is a flat product with marked folds and on the lateral ends it contains a part of what would be a sliding rail system. When folded, it has the shape of a box and at the top of 2 of its parallel sides it is part of the sliding system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONBased on the research that has been carried out, it has been determined that today there is no comprehensive system that can satisfy the demand for useful spaces in existing furniture nor in the different surfaces that are available in daily life, such as shelves, desks, tables, bookcases, doors, walls, etc . . . .
Specifically in elements called drawers, the meaning of drawers is interpreted as square or rectangular elements with 90 degree corners and sliding systems. (Rails that allow it to slide in order to be used)
In conclusion, a system of self-adhesive mountable rails that can be easily installed by any mechanical or adhesive means such as double-sided tapes, velcro and/or screws, nails, tacks and/or any element of fixation on rails that in turn slide over elements (drawers, boxes, containers with rectangular, square, trapezoidal geometry) and these in turn have countertops or sliding means such as “L”, “U”, “T” profiles and in staggered levels that are fastened and/or fixed, glued or attached to these drawers, boxes, containers with rectangular, square or trapezoidal geometry.
Specifically, we refer to the implementation of drawers on any surface, be it closets, dressers, desks, bookcases, shelves, other drawers, counters, bars, etc. . . . . Without the latter previously having drawers or if they had some, they could be the object of placing one or more additionally.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention refers to a comprehensive system for adapting boxes or other containers to be installable as drawers in furniture or other surfaces.
A box or container of the present invention includes a bottom panel, reinforcement panels distributed in two side panels, one back and one front, formed from a one-piece template of flexible material such as cardboard, plastic or other flexible materials, with cuts that form tabs, side and bottom or center panels, as well as fold lines and cuts to form slots and holes that function as handles or pulls; suitable for foldable organization and easy to assemble by any user without tools and complicated instructions. The side panels are coupled to the grooves of the bottom or central panel, in the mentioned grooves the tabs of the reinforcing side panels are inserted, which in turn are interlocked by means of tabs to form the drawer object of the present invention.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lid and an “L” profile are added to the box or container as a sliding rail, the first use of which is for packaging a product such as shoes, clothing, etc . . . ; the second use avoids packaging waste and is used as a slide-out organizer drawer. The side, rear and front panels have a vertical position, the bottom or central panel is located in a horizontal position, together they form a relocatable drawer object of the present invention, the sliding means such as rail and gutter are located at the edges. of the side panels.
The drawer of the present invention is enabled to contain a plurality of articles within the space formed by the side panels that are connected to each other by means of tabs, said side panels include reinforcement features by means of double-folded side panels that increase the resistance of the drawer or drawer of the present invention, which facilitates order in work spaces in offices, studies and the home; in these drawers they facilitate the access and vision of the articles contained inside. The drawer of the present invention is designed in various sizes to adapt to the available spaces such as lower faces of tables, desks, side faces of the same and open spaces where they can be located by means of adhesive. The detailed description of the present invention is described more specifically by means of the figures annexed thereto without limiting the scope of protection thereof, which will be determined by the corresponding claims.
