  • Patent number: 8186285
    Abstract: A slider assembly for moving an ATM into and out of an ATM housing comprises a driving mechanism and a mount. Vertically spaced apart upper and lower bearing structures extending outward from the mount partially define a horizontal channel. A platform for supporting the ATM has a front end, a rear end and opposite first and second side margins. The platform is operatively connected to the driving mechanism to impart generally linear forward and rearward movements of the platform relative to the mounts between extended and retracted positions. The first side margin of the platform is received within the horizontal channel between the upper and lower bearing structures to support the platform and to facilitate the linear movement of the platform by the driving mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20110037365
    Abstract: An undermount drawer slide includes a first rail and a second rail slidable linearly with respect to the first rail. The first rail has a first wall perpendicular to a reference level, and includes a first and a second installation sections. The first installation section has a first vertical distance with respect to the reference level. The second installation section has a second vertical distance with respect to the reference level. The first vertical distance is different from the second vertical distance to form a height difference. The second rail includes a top wall and a protrusion protruding from the top wall. The protrusion has a height measured from the top wall which is substantially equal to the height difference. The protrusion is adapted to hold against a bottom of a drawer for keeping a front panel of the drawer in a level status with respect to a cabinet.

  • Patent number: 7810890
    Abstract: A slide frame mechanism for a rollout accessory such as a wire drawer has two or more ball-bearing glides in a vertical orientation. Each of the glides includes a glide mount with a threaded aperture and cross-bars attached to extend between the glides. The accessory has a plurality of mounting tabs. Shoulder screws with partial threads pass through the accessory mounting tabs and threadably engage the threads of the slide mount apertures to secure the accessory to the glides. A compressible pad is positioned between the accessory mounting tabs and the glide mounts to provide a floating suspension which reduces binding of the glides when the accessory is rolled in and out. The screws fit loosely through oversized openings in the mounting tabs to allow limited movement of the accessory relative to the glides in a horizontal plane for further reduction of binding. Drawer dividers are constructed to detachably fit on drawers to provide separate compartments.

  • Patent number: 6659293
    Abstract: A sliding pull-out tray assembly comprising trays which can be tilted and extended with respect to a supporting shelf structure and which are used for holding and delivering containers, using gravity feed, to the front of the trays. The tray assembly comprises an open-top tray having surrounding walls on the front and sides, and which is mounted on a linear sliding system allowing sliding movement relative to the wire rack shelf to which the tray assembly is attached. By raising the front or lowest end of the tray, the tray assembly may be slid forward so that the rear of the tray may be filled without necessarily disturbing any bottles or cans already present in the front of the tray. The position of the tray apparatus is maintained by fastening the tray apparatus to the back of the supporting wire rack shelf. The pull-out tray assembly may be used as a retrofit in existing refrigerators or refrigeration units by serving as original or replacement shelves.

  • Publication number: 20030132688
    Abstract: A drawer slide support and closure apparatus designed to support a drawer within its supporting frame includes one or more drawer support members connecting the frame front and back each of which has an upstanding member with a ridge formed therewith forming a guide rail. A ridge surrounding slidable member encompasses the guide rail and is movable with respect to it. The ridge surrounding member is affixed to the bottom of the drawer and enables slidable movement between the guide rail supported by the frame and the ridge surrounding member affixed to the drawer. Rollers provide additional support for the drawer in the open position, and a spring enables positive opening and closing of the drawer. A shock absorber minimizes sound and impact when the drawer is firmly closed.
