Abstract: An improvement on my U.S. Pat. No. 4,389,079, granted June 21, 1983, for a DRAWER SLIDE ASSEMBLY applicable to case goods generally, such as chests, desks, dressers, tables and other household furniture having a drawer. My invention is applicable to case goods formed of wood, metal, etc. My improved slide comprises a pair of interengaging male and female channel-like members that may conveniently be metal stampings, one affixed to the bottom of a drawer cavity while the other is attached to the drawer bottom and designed to ride in the first mentioned channel member. The male channel has affixed to its leading or rear end a slide or guide block preferably molded of synthetic plastic having a low coefficient of friction, serving to introduce the channel by which it is carried into the other channel and also serving as a low friction bearing for smooth sliding movement of the drawer.
