Pressure fit mounting kit

Abstract

A pressure mounting kit for a shelf or storage drawer that can be installed by pressure fit installation that does not requiring drilling or welding, that can be adjustable to any height and can accommodate one or more drawers. The kit can be adapted to be fitted within a recessed space such as an alcove, The kit is particularly useful in the trucking industry for a quick and easy means of installing drawers in cargo boxes to store rigging and the like at a reasonable cost.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0001]The present disclosure relates to mounting kits, particularly to pressure fit mounting kits, more particularly to pressure fit mounting kits for shelves and storage drawers and methods for installing same in cavities or cargo boxes and the like.Background[0002]Numerous sliding track assembly mechanisms for household uses are known on pull out drawers and shelves. Typically, the sliding track assembly includes a slide assembly mounted to a rail assembly. Typically, the rail assembly is mounted in a case, rack, housing or other framed assembly and the slide assembly is attached to the drawer, shelf or other device. The slide assembly cooperates with the rail assembly and provides the extension mechanism for the drawer or shelf.[0003]Typically each individual rail assembly is screwed into the vertical supporting members situated at the sided of each drawer. Similar, but strengthened and adapted, mechanisms are known for industrial applications. Typ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a mounting kit for shelves or drawers that can be easily installed in a cavity space with a roof, floor, and side walls. The kit includes pairs of extendible threaded rods and support plates that can be fastened to the rods to securely fit the space. The method involves constructing the mounting mechanisms and fastening them to the cavity walls, then installing a drawer within the space using a slider mechanism that works with the support plates. The technical effects of this invention include easy installation and secure fitting of the shelves or drawers in the cavity space.

Problems solved by technology

Custom built sliding track assembly mechanisms are expensive to fabricate and expensive, often requiring the truck to be off-the-road during installation.

The mountings, however, can only accommodate one draw or shelf per pair of mountings.

This assembly is not pressure fit, it is not adjustable and it can only accommodate one draw.

This assembly requires drilling, it is not adjustable to any height and cannot accommodate more than one drawer.

This assembly is also not pressure fit, it is not adjustable and it can only accommodate one draw.

Again this assembly is not pressure fit, it is not adjustable and it can only accommodate one draw.

This assembly requires drilling, it is not adjustable to any height and cannot accommodate more than one drawer.

The installation of this device is not pressure fit, drilling or welding is required.

It is not adjustable to any height and can accommodate only one drawer.

The installation of this device is not pressure fit, drilling or welding is required.

It is not adjustable to any height and can accommodate only one drawer.

The installation of this device is not pressure fit, drilling or welding is required.

It is not height adjustable and can accommodate only one drawer.

The installation of this device is not pressure fit, drilling or welding is required.

It is not adjustable to any height and can accommodate only one drawer.

None of the above cited documents, alone or in combination satisfy the need for a storage drawer mounting kit that can be installed by pressure fit installation that does not requiring drilling or welding, that can be adjustable to any height and can accommodate one or more drawer.
