    Abstract: A bed assembly includes first, second, third, and fourth side rails, first and second slat supports, first and second rail supports, and a slat. The side rails each include an end and a side. The end of the second side rail is coupled to the end of the first side rail. The end of the fourth side rail is coupled to the end of the third side rail such that the sides of the first and second side rails are facing the sides of the third and fourth side rails. The first and second slat supports are configured to engage the first and third side rails, respectively. The first and second rail supports each include a continuous surface coupled to two of the first, second, third, and fourth side rails and configured to inhibit movement of the two of the first, second, third, and fourth side rails.

  • Patent number: 9033434
    Abstract: A drawer glide having, among other things, a cabinet rail that includes a glide member and a wheel housing. The drawer glide further includes a drawer rail having a wheel and a glide lip. In operation, the cabinet rail is positioned on a cabinet and the drawer rail is positioned on a drawer. When the drawer is opened, the glide lip travels along the glide member and the wheel travels along the wheel housing. The drawer glide prevents slop, eliminates racking, increases drag and reduces noise. Further, the drawer glide is relatively easy to install on an article, such as RTA furniture.
