Abstract

A drawer part assembly includes first and second walls and a mounting fitting. The first wall includes a longitudinal section and a transverse section transversely connected to the longitudinal section. These two sections define a recess. The mounting fitting is attached to the first wall and includes first and second mounting portions, which are perpendicularly connected. The second mounting portion divides the first mounting portion into first and second portions. The second mounting portion is mounted in the recess. The longitudinal section of the first wall is allowed to press against the second portion of the first mounting portion. The second wall has an end portion mounted between the first portion and the second mounting portion of the mounting fitting.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A drawer part assembly, comprising:
a first wall defining a recess;
a mounting fitting attached to the first wall, the mounting fitting including an integrally formed first mounting portion, and a second mounting portion substantially perpendicularly connected to the first mounting portion to define an intermediate divider therefor, the second mounting portion dividing the first mounting portion intermediately therealong into first and second portions, at least one mounting feature being integrally formed in the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting, wherein the second mounting portion is mounted against the first wall within the recess of the first wall with the second portion of the first mounting portion extending over an outer end of the first wall; and
a second wall having an end portion mounted between the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting and the second mounting portion of the mounting fitting, with the first portion of the first mounting portion extending over an outer surface of the end portion of the second wall, and at least one connecting member being arranged at the at least one mounting feature of the first portion of the first mounting portion to connect with the second wall, wherein at least a part of the end portion of the second wall is mounted between the first wall and the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting.

2. The drawer part assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the first wall includes a longitudinal section extending a length of the first wall, and a transverse section transversely connected to the longitudinal section along a major portion of a length of the longitudinal section,
the longitudinal section and the transverse section jointly define the recess, and
the longitudinal section of the first wall is thereby allowed to press against the second portion of the first mounting portion.

3. The drawer part assembly of claim 2 , wherein the second portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting has a width substantially equal to a width of the longitudinal section of the first wall.

4. The drawer part assembly of claim 2 , wherein the longitudinal section and the transverse section of the first wall form a substantially L shaped periphery of the recess.

5. The drawer part assembly of claim 2 , wherein the at least a part of the end portion of the second wall is mounted between the transverse section of the first wall and the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting.

6. A drawer applicable to be mounted in a cabinet, wherein the drawer is configured to be carried by at least one slide assembly of the cabinet and thereby displaceable with respect to the cabinet, the drawer comprising a drawer part assembly, in which the drawer part assembly includes:
a first wall including a longitudinal section extending a length of the first wall, and a transverse section substantially connected to the longitudinal section along a major portion of a length of the longitudinal section, the longitudinal section and the transverse section jointly defining a recess;
a mounting fitting attached to the first wall, the mounting fitting including an integrally formed first mounting portion, and a second mounting portion substantially perpendicularly connected to the first mounting portion to define an intermediate divider therefor, the second mounting portion dividing the first mounting portion intermediately therealong into first and second portions, at least one mounting feature being integrally formed in the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting, wherein the second mounting portion is mounted in the recess of the first wall with the second portion of the first mounting portion extending over an outer end of the first wall, wherein the longitudinal section of the first wall presses against the second portion of the first mounting portion; and
a second wall having an end portion mounted between the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting and the second mounting portion of the mounting fitting, with the first portion of the first mounting portion extending over an outer surface of the end portion of the second wall, and at least one connecting member being arranged at the at least one mounting feature of the first portion of the first mounting portion to connect with the second wall, wherein at least a part of the end portion of the second wall is mounted between the transverse section of the first wall and the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting.

7. The drawer of claim 6 , further comprising an extending section extending, and bent, from the second mounting portion of the mounting fitting, wherein the first wall of the drawer part assembly is connectable to a carrier rail of the at least one slide assembly and when a sliding rail of the at least one slide assembly hangs on a stop wall of the carrier rail via a hanging portion, the extending section is mountable between the hanging portion of the sliding rail and an outer wall portion of the first wall.

8. A mounting fitting for mounting a first structural member and a second structural member together, wherein the first structural member includes a longitudinal section extending a length of the first structural member, and a transverse section transversely connected to the longitudinal section along a major portion of a length of the longitudinal section, the mounting fitting comprising:
an integrally formed first mounting portion; and
a second mounting portion substantially perpendicularly connected to the first mounting portion to define an intermediate divider therefor, the second mounting portion dividing the first mounting portion intermediately therealong into first and second portions;
wherein at least one mounting feature is integrally formed in the first portion of the first mounting portion, and is configured to receive at least one connecting member to connect with the second structural member;
wherein the first structural member is mountable to the second mounting portion with the second portion of the first mounting portion extending over an outer end of the first structural member, and the longitudinal section of the first structural member is thereby allowed to press against the second portion of the first mounting portion;
wherein the second structural member is mountable to the second mounting portion and the first portion of the first mounting portion, with the first portion of the first mounting portion extending over an outer surface of an end portion of the second structural member, the first portion of the first mounting portion being connectable to the second structural member by the at least one connecting member; and
wherein at least a part of the end portion of the second structural member is mountable between the transverse section of the first structural member and the first portion of the first mounting portion of the mounting fitting.

9. The mounting fitting of claim 8 , wherein the second mounting portion is mountable to the first structural member via at least one fixing member.

10. The mounting fitting of claim 8 , wherein the second portion of the first mounting portion has a width substantially equal to a width of the longitudinal section of the first structural member.
