  • Patent number: 4447095
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-leveling drawer slide assembly. The assembly incorporates roller assemblies intended to be attached to the opposed faces of a cabinet and channel assemblies adapted to be affixed to the cabinet-adjacent faces of the drawer. The device of the invention is characterized in that the rollers are mounted on a short section and the channel assembly comprises a substantially longer section, the inner and outer ends of the channel section being inclined upwardly relative to a central horizontal section whereby, in the inner and outer limiting positions of the drawer, the tendency of the drawer to sag is counteracted by the tendency of the rollers to tilt the channels.

  • Patent number: 4441772
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a bottom mounted drawer slide for supporting a drawer in a cabinet. The device is characterized in that the slide assembly is provided with means for enabling the drawer to be removed and to be replaced with a minimum of manipulative effort. The slide assembly incorporates fail-safe features which assure that the assembly latching the drawer channel to the stationary channel is automatically shifted to locked position responsive to assembly of the channels and is always in a position locked against accidental removal when the channels reach their mutually extended positions.
