Abstract:

A mechanism for adjusting one surface with respect to another is disclosed. The mechanism may be placed between a front face panel and a drawer box for adjustably connecting the front face panel to the drawer box in a cabinet so that when the drawer is closed, the front face panel is in a desired position with respect to the surface of the cabinet. The mechanism may permit the front face panel to be adjusted while the drawer is in a closed position thus providing the user with the ability to simultaneously see and align the front face panel with respect to the cabinet simultaneously. The mechanism for adjustment may include a washer having a first surface, a second surface, and at least one disk having an inner surface and an outer surface. The washer may be secured to the drawer box, while the disk may be secured to the front face panel. The disk and washer are adjustably connected to one another so that movement of the disk with respect to the washer permits the front face panel, which is connected to the disk, to be moveable and thus adjustable with respect to the drawer box, which is connected to the washer.
