Abstract:
A cart and drawer assembly (20, 120) comprising a pair of panels (22) each having an inner surface (26) disposed in spaced and parallel relationship with one another with said inner surfaces (26) facing each other. Each of the panels (22) defines a pair of beams (32). At least one shelf (66, 166) is disposed between the panels (22) in perpendicular relationship to the panels (22). A plurality of ribs (122) extend from the beams (32) and are spaced from one another along the beams (32). A pair of ears (124, 224) extend from each of the shelves (66, 166) and engage an adjacent pair of the ribs (122) to maintain the panels (22) in spaced and parallel relationship with one another and perpendicular to the shelf (66, 166). Each of the beams (32) define a plurality of sockets (34) spaced from one another. A pair of plugs (76) extend from each of the mounting sides (67, 167) in one of the sockets (34) connecting the shelves (66, 166) to the panels (22). The ears (124, 224) are disposed between said plugs (76).
