Patent number: 8091971Abstract: A soft-close cabinet slide assembly permits the soft-close action and/or a soft-open action of a drawer, and thus the reduction of effort by an operator, when the drawer is opening or closing. The cabinet slide assembly includes a cabinet, a drawer, and at least one slide mechanism coupling the drawer to the cabinet to permit movement of the drawer between a fully open position and a fully closed position. A forcing means for exerting an extension force, preferably a gas spring, is also be included in the soft-close cabinet slide assembly having a first end coupled to the cabinet and a second end coupled to the drawer. Preferably, the soft-close cabinet slide assembly also includes a first and second pivotal coupling, which permit the gas spring to swing through an arc as the drawer moves between the fully open position and the fully closed position.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Rev-A-Shelf Company, LLCInventors: Kevin M. Ward, Michael G. Dobrick

Patent number: 8056994Abstract: A positioning device for a drawer includes a base, a handle and a pair of connecting members. The base comprises a fixing plate, an engaging arm and a resilient member. The engaging arm comprises a tenon, a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, a first end connected to the fixing plate, and a second end connected to the resilient member. The tenon is disposed on the first side of the engaging arm adjacent to the second end. The second end of the engaging arm is formed with a first through hole. The handle is formed with a second through hole corresponding in position to the second end of the engagement arm. The handle is provided with a recess to accommodate the resilient member. The connecting members insert through the second through hole and the first through hole. By assembling the above parts with the drawer, the tenon engages with an engaging hole of the drawer slide.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2008Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: King Slide Works Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ken-Ching Chen, Hsiu-Chiang Liang, Chun-Chiang Wang

Patent number: 7695080Abstract: A securing device for a drawer slide includes a base, a pressing element and a first elastic element. The pressing element is slidably connected to the base. The pressing member has a releasing block. The first elastic element is disposed in the pressing element. When the pressing element is pressed, the releasing block is partially inserted into the base. When the pressing force against the releasing block is released, the pressing element restores its original state. The base is provided with a fixing plate for mounting the base to a drawer. A holding element is provided in a drawer slide to facilitate engagement of the base. By pressing the pressing element, the engagement of the holding element is released.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: King Slide Works Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ken-Ching Chen, Hsiu-Chiang Liang, Chun-Chiang Wang
