(54) Retaining device for drawers


(57) A structure (1) has drawers (2) easily glidably mounted by means of rollers (12, 13, 14) and sloping inwardly-downwardly in the structure such that when they are released in a pulled-out position they glide under the action of gravity into their pushed-in or closed position. Each drawer is provided with a shaft (4) in the direction of movement of the drawer, said shaft being rotatably mounted and provided with a hand lever (7) and a radially projecting stop (8), the latter going into fric- tional engagement with the bottom (9) of a drawer (2) immediately above, when the lever (7) is swung upwards, for retaining the drawer in a pulled-out position, until the lever (7) is swung down for releasing the frictional engagement, whereafter the easily giidabie drawer glides into the structure under the action of gravity.
