Abstract:
1. A stand and storage drawer for a beverage dispenser comprising: a) a base member comprising a rectangular wire frame defining a front, a rear and left and right sides, first and second wire rails affixed to an underside of the frame and extending parallel to one-another from the frame front to the frame rear and the first and second wire rail inwardly offset from the left and right sides respectively, the base member further including first and second pairs of wire guide rails affixed to a top side of the frame and extending parallel to one another from the frame front to the frame rear with a predetermined spacing between the wire guide rails of each pair; b) first and second elastomeric friction pads affixed to the underside of the wire frame proximate intersections of the left and right frame sides with the front side; c) a pair of rollers affixed to the underside of the wire frame proximate the intersections of the left and right frame sides with the rear frame side, the rollers being journaled for rotation about axes that are parallel to the rear frame side; d) a plate member extending between the first and second wire rails; e) a manually actuatable lever pivotally attached to an underside of the plate member which when actuated tips the base member at an angle with respect to a support surface such that the friction pads come out of contact with the support surface and only the rollers remain in contact with the support surface; f) a planar top surface member offset from the base member by corner posts extending perpendicular to the base member proximate the intersections of the left and right frame sides with the front and rear frame sides; and g) a drawer disposed in a space between the base member and the top surface member and slidable in and out of said space and guided by the first and second pairs of wire guide rails.
