  • Patent number: 5457867
    Abstract: A system that allows for easy assembly of ready-to-assemble ("RTA") furniture without using any tools or other supplemental hardware is disclosed. A drawer slide support is provided with substantially cylindrically shaped, ribbed bushings connected to the support. The support includes a sliding portion mounted to a first member of a piece of furniture, such as a drawer or shelf. A second member of furniture, such as an upright panel, is provided with openings into which the bushings may be easily press-fitted, but not easily removed. The support may thus be attached with the bushings to the second member of furniture so that the first and second members of furniture are assembled together without using tools, supplemental hardware, or excessive force.
