Abstract

A utility cart with front, back, side, top and bottom walls includes a housing having a pair of U-shaped frames spanning the front and back portions of the cart. Each of the U-shaped frames has a pair of upright legs joined by a bottom bight portion. At least two side wall segments form opposite sides of the cart. Each of the side wall segments has at side edges thereof frame-receiving openings shaped to receive legs of the U-shaped frame member. The side wall segments are spaced apart by the U-shaped frames with the legs of the U-shaped frames retained by the frame-receiving openings. The upper portions of the upright legs of each of the U-shaped frame members are joined together and drawers are slidably mounted to the side wall segments. Integrally molded glides are formed on the inner faces of the side wall segments. The drawers have glide flanges mounted on the sides cooperable with the molded glides slidably mounting the drawers on the glides. Stops are formed on the drawer glides and drawers to retain the drawers in a closed position within the cart and to prevent the drawers from being inadvertently pulled from the cart. Castors are mounted to the bottom of the U-shaped frames at bottom portions thereof to support the cart on wheels. The cart can have a central vertical spine and double-faced walls mounted to the vertical spine to form a vertical partition in the cart for mounting two rows of drawers in side-by-side relationship.
