  • Patent number: 6481812
    Abstract: A drawer guide assembly for a movable structure such as a drawer in a furniture article, and more particularly to a new and improved drawer guide assembly which is concealed from view and allows for a wider and deeper drawer. The drawer guide assembly contains mirror image assemblies, each comprising a guide rail mountable to the interior of a furniture article in a generally horizontally disposed position and a pull-out rail mountable to the drawer, or other movable structure, and movable within the guide rail. Both the guide and pull-out rails are provided with one or more rotatable rollers mounted in fixed positions and upper and/or lower ledges which are in rolling contact with complementary rotatable rollers, thus enabling forward and rearward horizontal movement of the pull-out rail and carried structure on the fixed guide rail.

  • Patent number: 6302502
    Abstract: A laterally adjustable mounting bracket for use with a tongueless drawer guide, comprising a mounting plate and a hollow central elongate member connected at one end to the front face of the mounting plate. An opening in one end of the central elongate member opposite the mounting plate connection is adapted to receive a tongueless drawer guide. The opening is designed to maintain tension on the drawer guide, such that the drawer guide remains relatively secure after adjustment to a particular position. This is accomplished by a tab which is deflected slightly inward toward the interior of the opening, and which is somewhat displaced when a drawer guide is inserted.
