Abstract: A drawer slide assembly includes a track member mounted to a cabinet frame and a bracket mounted to the side wall of a drawer. The track member includes a track roller axially mounted thereon, and a longitudinally extending channel. The bracket includes a bracket roller axially mounted thereon and a longitudinally extending groove. The bracket roller is received in the channel on the track and is substantially surrounded on three sides by the channel. The track roller has a periphery having a cross-section similar to that of a truncated cone, and the groove is substantially V-shaped. The track roller rides in the groove such that the slant sides of the roller are received on the opposing sides.

Abstract: A side-mount drawer slide with a floating wheel permitting lateral movement of the drawer to compensate for skewness in the drawer and/or supporting cabinet. A drawer slide of the type having a track attached to the drawer and a corresponding track attached to the adjacent wall is provided with a pair of wheels, one secured at an end of each track. On one side the wheels have only minimal lateral play. On the other side the wheels have a substantial predetermined lateral play to compensate for lack of parallelism in the walls of the cabinet and/or drawer so as to avoid the need for shimming the tracks when the drawer and/or cabinet are not parallel.
