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.
