openings. Stackable pivoting storage trays on the tray insert include a
detent arrangement for holding each tray in a pivoted access position.
The tray inserts further include a front key, and a back tab mounting
arrangement for mounting the tray inserts to the drawers, and side radius
limiters including notches for extending over raised portions of the
drawer. The take-up mechanism includes a U-shaped trough section and
cable retention tabs. A control mechanism is provided for controlling
movement of the take-up mechanism relative to the drawer.
