Abstract: A slide device for supporting the folding leaf of a dropleaf table comprises a bar and an elongated retainer having a channel which receives the bar for lengthwise reciprocation. The channel has a depth slightly greater than the width of the bar, and the retainer is provided with oppositely extending coplanar flanges on opposite sides of the channel which define a substantially flat mounting surface. A first boss is provided on each flange near one end which projects above the mounting surface. A second boss of substantially the same height as the first boss is also provided on each flange and is disposed adjacent to the first boss on the side thereof toward the other flange end. Each second boss has a first mounting hole therethrough, and each flange is provided with a second mounting hole near the other end thereof.
