A bracket for mounting a drawer slide to a cabinet rear wall includes: a main panel; at least one lower guide attached to an extending from a lower edge of the main panel; at least one upper guide attached to the main panel above the lower guide to form a gap configured to receive a drawer slide; a latch extending from the main panel adjacent to the lower guide, the latch including an upwardly-extending hook; and openings in the main panel sized and positioned to receive fasteners to fasten the bracket to a rear wall of a cabinet.

Bracket for drawer slide

A bracket for attaching a drawer slide to a cabinet wall includes: main panel having front and rear surfaces, upper and lower edges, and opposed side edges; an L-shaped upper flange mounted to front surface of the main panel; an L-shaped lower flange mounted to the front surface of the main panel substantially parallel to the upper flange; a recess in the main panel positioned between the upper flange and the lower flange; an access ramp extending between one of the side edges and the recess; and means for mounting the main panel to the cabinet wall so that the rear surface confronts the rear wall. The upper and lower flanges are configured to capture the upper and lower edges of a panel of a mating bracket attached to a drawer slide. The recess is configured to receive and capture a nub extending from the panel of the mating bracket.

Methods of mounting brackets and associated components for drawer and tray slides in cabinetry

A bracket for attaching a drawer slide to a cabinet wall includes: a main panel having front and rear surfaces, upper and lower edges, and opposed side edges; an L-shaped upper flange mounted to front surface of the main panel; an L-shaped lower flange mounted to the front surface of the main panel substantially parallel to the upper flange; a recess in the main panel positioned between the upper flange and the lower flange; an access ramp extending between one of the side edges and the recess; and means for mounting the main panel to the cabinet wall so that the rear surface confronts the rear wall. The upper and lower flanges are configured to capture the upper and lower edges of a panel of a mating bracket that is attached to a drawer slide. The recess is configured to receive and capture a nub extending from the panel of the mating bracket, the recess being of sufficient length that the nub can translate horizontally within the recess, thereby enabling the horizontal position of the mating bracket to be adjusted relative to the main panel.

Brackets and associated components for drawer and tray slides in cabinetry

A bracket for mounting a sliding drawer or tray to a frame includes: a main panel; a front panel connected and generally normal to the main panel; a floor panel connected and generally normal to the main panel; a front lip connected to the front panel and extending generally parallel to the main panel; and a floor lip connected to the front panel and extending generally parallel to the main panel. In this configuration, the bracket can facilitate precise but simple mounting of the drawer.

Inset undermounted bracket for drawer and tray slides in cabinetry

A mounting member for a cabinet tray or drawer includes: an elongate body portion having a front mounting surface and a longitudinal axis; and a plurality of substantially rectangular apertures located in the front mounting surface. The body portion is a unitary structure and being formed of a polymeric material. This mounting member can be employed in cabinets to mount trays or drawers.

Rollout tray mounting system for cabinet

A device for protecting first and second con fronting furniture components includes a base member having opposite first and second faces. The first face is adapted to contact the first furniture component, and the base member has a cushioning projection that extends outwardly from the second face of the base member and covers a void within the base member. The projection is adapted to contact the second furniture component as it confronts the first furniture component.

Cushioning device for furniture

A connector for supporting one or more mounting members that may be used in mounting a drawer within a cabinet includes: a vertically elongated base configured to abut an interior face of a wall of the cabinet and vertically elongated first and second mounting panels that are connected to and projecting outwardly from the base. The second mounting panel may be spaced apart from, and substantially parallel to, the first mounting panel, and the first and second mounting panels may extend from a base panel that extends perpendicular to the first and second mounting panels. The connector may also include an end panel that connects the distal end of the first mounting panel to the distal end of the second mounting panel.

A protective device that may be used to shield the corner of an object from damage during shipping, storage, handling or the like comprises a top member, an outer wall, an inner wall opposite the outer wall and a side wall. The walls are connected (either directly or indirectly) to the top member and extend downwardly therefrom, and the side wall and outer wall meet to form an acute angle (e.g., a 45 degree or a 67.5 degree angle). The protective device may also include a raised lip that extends upwardly from the top member along at least a portion of the periphery of the top member and may include ribs that are disposed on the top surface of the top member.

Corner protector

Connectors for attaching a false front panel over an opening in an object comprise a post piece that is configured to attach to the object and a clip piece that comprises a base that is configured to attach to a rear face of the false front panel and at least one snap clip projecting from the base that is configured to receive the post. The post piece of these false front connectors includes a post that has a non-circular cross-section (e.g., a diamond shape), and the interior of the snap clip may also have a non-circular cross-section that is matched to the cross-section of the post.

Cabinets with false fronts and associated false front connectors

A protective device that may be used to shield the corner and/or edges of an object from damage during shipping, storage, handling or the like comprises a cap member, first and second outer arms and first and second inner arms. The arms are connected (either directly or indirectly) to the cap member and extend downwardly therefrom. The first and second inner arms are located generally opposite the first and second outer arms, respectively. The first and second inner arms may each include a protrusion that projects toward the first and second outer arms, respectively. Additionally, the first and second outer arms may be positioned so as to define an obtuse angle (e.g., 135 degrees) opposite the vertical plane defined by the downwardly extending first inner arm.

Edge and corner protector

A connector for an enclosure comprises: a main panel having inner and outer surfaces and a front end; a toe kick support panel extending generally perpendicularly from an intermediate portion of the inner surface of the main panel; a toe kick retaining flange extending generally perpendicularly from the front end of the inner surface of the main panel, the toe kick retaining flange, the toe kick support panel, and the main panel inner surface defining an open toe kick channel; and a side edge retaining flange extending generally perpendicularly from the front end of the outer surface of the main panel. In certain embodiments, the toe kick retaining flange and the side edge retaining flange are directly opposite each other across the main panel.

Connector for joining toe kick plate of cabinet

Corner and/or edge protector

A device for protecting first and second confronting furniture components includes a base member having opposite first and second faces. The first face is adapted to contact the first furniture component, and the base member has a cushioning projection that extends outwardly from the second face of the base member and covers a void within the base member. The projection is adapted to contact the second furniture component as it confronts the first furniture component.
