Patent ID: 7156244

Claim:
A cantilevered drawer assembly comprising: a movable drawer having two sides; a rotating wheel mounted to each side of the drawer; a pair of pivot arms, each having the shape of a circular sector with an apex portion and comprising a channel traversing the pivot arm, at least a portion of which has a parabolic shape opening away from the apex; and a support for supporting the movable drawer, wherein each pivot arm is pivotally connected at the apex portion to the support, spaced from and facing each other; and wherein the movable drawer is disposed between the pivot arms, with a rotating wheel is received in the channel of the adjacent pivot arm; whereby each rotating wheel is free to move along the channel as the pivot arm rotates about the apex portion, the parabolic portion thereby enabling the movable drawer to translate in a plane relative to the support, while being cantilevered to the support.
