  • Patent number: 5871265
    Abstract: A sequencing latch that prevents an intermediate slide member of a drawer slide assembly from protruding from a two-way cabinet or rack. A latching arm mounted to the intermediate slide member responds to forces exerted by cams attached to the inner slide member by moving in conjunction with the inner slide member until the latching arm is able to pivot through an aperture in the intermediate slide member and be engaged by a receptacle of the outer slide member. The use of dual cams and receptacle allows for bi-directional travel limitation of the intermediate slide member.
