Filing Cabinet Divider Mat
A filing cabinet divider mat. The filing cabinet divider mat features a rectangular flat panel having a top surface and a bottom surface. A plurality of parallel ridges is positioned on the top surface, running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flat panel. The ridges extend vertically from the top surface of the flat panel and may range in height from 0.001 to 2 inches, allowing a folder to be easily adjusted within a drawer without having to be fully lifted and removed, while still holding the bottom of the folder in place. An adhesive material is placed on the bottom surface to securely affix the flat panel to the bottom of a filing cabinet drawer.

CABINET AND AN ASSOCIATED METHOD
The cabinet 1 has a base 3 that defines an opening 7, which is sized to receive the tynes of a lifting device, such as a fork lift of the like, for example. This facilitates transportation of the entire cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 has nine drawers 8, each having formations, in the form of a pair of slots 10 and 11, which are adapted for engagement with the tynes. Once the tynes have been inserted, the lifting device operator may then raise the tynes slightly, thereby supporting the drawer 8 on the tynes. The lifting device operator can then remove the drawer 8 that is being supported by the tynes from the cabinet 1.
Slide arrangement for cable drawer
A drawer slide having first and second rails interconnected by a center rail. The center rail includes a spool configured to provide half-speed travel of the center rail relative to the travel of the first rail. The drawer slide is configured for use with a drawer assembly having a drawer and a chassis. The drawer assembly further includes a radius limiter secured to the center rail. The radius limiter travels at half-speed relative to the drawer. The radius limiter also automatically rotates relative to the travel of the drawer. The chassis includes sides including threaded backing plates, and mounting brackets. The mounting brackets include tri-lobed holes for receipt of a reciprocally shaped washer and a fastener for mounting the brackets to the chassis sides.
Slidable pantry pullout apparatus and method of use
Disclosed is a pantry pullout apparatus having side access and designed for simple, adjustable, and accurate installation within a pre-existing cabinet space. The apparatus, slidably mounted within the cabinet space, comprises a top slide assembly mounted to a cabinet carcass and a drawer box. The drawer box is automatically centered on a base slide box. The base slide box is comprised of a slotted template slidingly engaged with a frame, where the frame is mounted to the cabinet carcass. Slide rail assemblies connect the slotted template to the frame. A pin block on the underside of a fixed shelf of the drawer box automatically centers the drawer box on the slotted template. A face plate adjustment mechanism provides for three dimensional alignment of the face plate with surrounding cabinets.
