Abstract
A drawer-containing apparatus is disclosed which comprises a box-like housing to be fixed to a pigeon-hole or the like, an accommodating case held for forward and backward movement through a front opening of the housing, a biasing member for urging the accommodating case toward its protruded position, and a push-push locking member for, in general, locking the accommodating case at its retreated position in the housing against the biasing force of the biasing member, the push-push locking member releasing the accommodating case from the locking action thereof to allow opening motion of the accommodating case by the biasing force of the biasing member when an ordinary force for opening is exerted on the accommodating case; wherein, between the housing and the accommodating case, an unlockable safety lock mechanism is provided for preventing protrusion of the accommodating case due to release of the accommodating case from the locking action of the push-push locking member caused by an unforeseen accident.
