  • Patent number: 3980364
    Abstract: A roller bracket assembly includes a first and second generally planar wings connected perpendicular to each other by a narrower intermediate panel slanted at forty-five degrees with respect to both wings. Two horizontally spaced rollers are journaled on the first wing adjacent the forward and rearward end portions thereof for guiding and supporting a drawer to slide in and out of an opening in a cabinet. The first wing is secured to the face frame of the cabinet by two screws which extend through vertically spaced openings formed through the forward end portion of the wing. In addition, the screws serve to partially support the first wing vertically within the cabinet with further vertical support being provided by bosses formed around the openings and protruding outwardly from such wing and into the face frame. A third screw extends through another opening formed through the forward inner corner of the second wing to secure the latter wing to the horizontal member of the face frame.

  • Patent number: 3973814
    Abstract: Tracks are secured to the sides of a drawer and ride along sets of front and rear rollers at the front of a cabinet to guide the drawer for back and forth sliding in the cabinet. Downwardly inclined ramps are formed intermediate the ends of the tracks and act upon the rear rollers to cause the drawer to pivot about the front rollers to close the drawer automatically. Horizontally spaced tabs integrally formed with each of the tracks adjacent opposite ends thereof are spaced from the lower edge of the track different distances. On each side panel of the drawer, the tabs telescope into a kerf formed in the side panel to aid in supporting the drawer on the rollers and to assure proper location of the track on the side panel so that the ramps are positioned properly to obtain the desired self-closing action.
