  • Patent number: 4690571
    Abstract: A slide assembly for mounting sliding furniture parts, such as drawers or shelves, including a first rail section operating as the guide rail which is attached at a furniture side wall and at least one other second rail section operating as a sliding rail attached at the sliding furniture part. The first and second rails are movable relative to each other and the second rail is formed with either an L- or a Z-shaped sectional configuration with the sliding furniture part being mounted on a lower horizontal leg of the second sliding rail and being connected thereto upon a support face of the horizontal leg. An adjustment screw mechanism is provided for enabling adjustment of the positioning of the sliding furniture part relative to the horizontal leg of the second rail section. The horizontal leg is also provided with a flat, upwardly bent bracket having a bore therein for receiving an adjustment screw which is threadedly attached into the furniture part.
