Abstract
In a drawer with side frames (1) and a rear wall (2) made of sheet metal, the lower ends of the side frames (1) and the rear wall (2) are provided with flanges (4) or bevels (5) designed like longitudinal grooves for holding a drawer bottom (3). At the rear ends of the frames (1) inwardly facing bevels (8) are provided for supporting the rear wall (2), and the rear wall (2) can be fixed at these bevels by flat engagement hooks (15) formed on said rear wall, where the engagement hooks (15) engage in slots (9) of the bevels (8), and at a distance below the engagement hook (15) a flat securing lug (16) is provided, which can be introduced into a further slotted opening (10) of the bevel (8) of the side frame (1). To achieve a stable and easily mountable construction, the rear wall (2) has an upwardly directed engagement hook (15) for each of the two bevels (8) of the side frames (1), which engagement hook can be put through an associated slotted opening (9), which ends at a distance from the upper edge of the bevel (8), and snaps onto the upper end of this slotted opening.
