(54) A tray, preferably of metal wire, and for instance serving as a drawer


(57) A tray of metal wires and for instance applicable as a drawer comprises a rectangular bottom (1) and circumferential sidewalls (2a,2b,2c,2d). The bottom (1) and the side walls (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) are integrally formed since they are constituted by a wire frame (4), in which a plurality of substantially U-shaped wire lengths (5) are secured on the inside thereof. The wire side limbs of the U form two opposing side walls (2b and 2d) of the tray, whereas the bottom wire web of the U forms the bottom (1) of the tray. The wire side limbs of each side wall (2b) are located in pairs, the wire limbs of each pair converging downwards. The wire side limbs are secured to the wire frame (4) at the inwardly facing side (14) of the latter. In this manner several identical trays can be piled according to the "drinking glass principle", although the side walls of the tray are vertical.
