A roll-out drawer system for a vehicle comprising a planar framework comprising a plurality of pipe-over-pipe mechanisms. The roll-out drawer travels over the planar framework permitting the drawer to travel lengthwise from an internal position within the bed of the vehicle to an external position where the drawer is partially extended from the bed. The pipe-over-pipe planar framework permits the user to gain access to the drawer to load, position and unload contents that would otherwise be difficult to reach within the bed of the vehicle.

I claim: 1. A roll-out drawer system comprising: at least one drawer able to travel in a first direction and an opposing second direction on top of a plurality of elongated pipe-over-pipe mechanisms transverse to said directions of travel of said at least one drawer, each said elongated pipe-over-pipe mechanism including at least one first rotatable pipe encircling at least one second fixed pipe, wherein said at least one first pipe rotates relative to and about said at least one second pipe, wherein a first axis of said at least one first pipe is aligned parallel with a second axis of said at least one second pipe; and a plurality of said at least one second pipes are interconnected to form at least one planar framework comprising said plurality of elongated pipe-over-pipe mechanisms. 2. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 1 wherein said plurality of elongated pipe-over-pipe mechanisms are parallel to each other and perpendicular to said directions of travel. 3. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 1 wherein said at least one drawer has a grasping device. 4. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 1 wherein each said elongated pipe-over-pipe mechanism has a clearance between an inner diameter of said at least one first pipe and an outer diameter of said at least one second pipe. 5. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 1 wherein said at least one drawer further comprises a stopping mechanism to limit travel in said first direction. 6. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 1 wherein said at least one planar framework is able to travel in said first direction and said opposing second direction concurrently with said at least one said drawer. 7. A roll-out drawer system including a pipe-over-pipe mechanism comprising: the bed of a vehicle having a bottom surface and at least one open end; a pipe-over-pipe mechanism including a plurality of first pipes each rotatably encircling one of a plurality of second fixed pipes and a first axis of said first pipes being aligned parallel with a second axis of said second pipes; said plurality of said second pipes being interconnected to form at least one planar framework parallel to the bottom surface of said bed; said at least one planar framework comprising a plurality of said pipe-over-pipe mechanisms parallel to the at least one open end of said bed, said plurality of said first pipes of said plurality of pipe-over-pipe mechanisms being in contact with said bottom surface of said bed; and at least one drawer travels upon and along with said plurality of pipe-over-pipe mechanisms when said plurality of said first pipes rotate relative to and about said plurality of said second pipes. 8. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 7 wherein said at least one drawer has a grasping device. 9. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 7 wherein each said pipe-over-pipe mechanism has a clearance between an inner diameter of each said first pipes and an outer diameter of each said second pipes. 10. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 7 wherein said at least one drawer has a stopping mechanism to limit travel of said at least one drawer. 11. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 7 further comprising a guide mechanism. 12. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 7 wherein each said at least one drawer and each said at least one planar framework travel concurrently between a first position in said bed to a second position wherein said at least one drawer extends out of said at least one open end of said bed. 13. A roll-out drawer system for a vehicle comprising: a pipe-over-pipe mechanism including a plurality of first rotatable pipes each rotatably encircling one of a plurality of second fixed pipes, wherein a first axis of each said first pipe is aligned parallel with a second axis of each said second pipe about which it is encircling; said plurality of said second pipes being parallel and interconnected to form a planar framework comprising a plurality of said pipe-over-pipe mechanisms; and a drawer positioned to travel along an outer surface of each said first pipe of said plurality of said pipe-over-pipe mechanisms when each of said plurality of first pipes rotates relative to and about said plurality of second pipes, said at least one planar framework being adapted to travel concurrently with said drawer but at a slower rate. 14. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 13 wherein said drawer has a grasping device. 15. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 13 wherein each said pipe-over-pipe mechanism has a clearance between an inner diameter of each of said first pipes and an outer diameter of each of said second pipes about which it is encircling. 16. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 13 wherein said drawer has a stopping mechanism to limit travel of said drawer. 17. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 13 wherein said plurality of second pipes of said planar framework are interconnected by a plurality of third pipes. 18. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 13 further comprising a guide mechanism. 19. The roll-out drawer system as in claim 13 wherein said planar framework has a substantially ladder shaped configuration.
