8/927451

Inventors:

Daniel J. Dittberner - Cornelius NC

International Classification:

A47B 8800

US Classification:

3123484

Abstract:

A drawer head which is readily removable and replaceable from the front of a conventional drawer body is disclosed. The drawer head generally takes the form of a rectangular cover panel sized to cover the front panel of a drawer body. An arcuate handle extends outwardly along the top of the cover panel for allowing a user to easily grip the drawer head in order to slide the drawer in and out of a cabinet. The drawer head includes an elongated slot extending substantially between the sides of cover panel and being adapted to receive a header flange of a drawer body. To attach the drawer head to a conventional drawer body, the header flange of the drawer body is inserted through the elongated slot so that the header flange supports the drawer head with the drawer head in a contiguous relationship with the front panel of the drawer body. Fasteners are then used to secure the bottom of the drawer head to the drawer body.

Abstract:

The invention disclosed comprises a combination ladder and stair for use by children which incorporates stair-like treads and risers with ladder-like rungs to achieve safe climbing activity. The combination ladder and stair is adapted to be used at a comparatively steep angle to the ground with the treads being maintained level. The rungs are placed adjacent to and level with each tread to afford additional security for the foot, and are spaced from the tread to allow the hand to grasp around the rung. In the preferred embodiment the ladder is incorporated into a split tube which serves as an entry to a children's play system.
