  • Patent number: 10062885
    Abstract: A tray glide system includes a frame having opposite sides, and a base defining an interior, where a tray slides relative to the frame. Glide mounts formed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are attached to the base in the interior, and are located under the tray providing sliding of the tray relative to the frame. Glide rails are engaged to the bottom of the tray and are shaped to engage one or more surfaces of the slide mounts. Each of the glide rails includes a bearing ledge proximate to one of the opposite sides of the frame. An upper guide rail is attached to each of the opposite walls. Each upper guide rail has a horizontal retaining ledge positioned above one of the bearing ledges, to engage the bearing ledges, and to prevent downward pivoting of the tray during withdraw of the tray from the frame.
