Abstract
A drawer glide mechanism can include a first elongate guide member, a second elongate glide member, a ball bearing component, and a v-notch socket. The first elongate guide member includes a distal end that is configured to fit within an opening in the v-notch socket. The drawer glide mechanism can further include one or more floating members and fixed members.
Claims20
A drawer glide mechanism comprising:
- a first elongate guide member;
- a second elongate guide member nested at least partially within the first elongate guide member, the second elongate guide member having a longitudinally extending body;
- a fixed member extending from the longitudinally extending body of the second elongate guide member in a first direction that is non-parallel with respect to the longitudinally extending body of the second elongate guide member;
- and
- a floating member extending at least partially over the fixed member, wherein the floating member and the fixed member comprise corresponding smooth engagement surfaces that allow the floating member to slide relative to the fixed member along the first direction.

A drawer glide mechanism comprising:
- a first elongate guide member;
- a second elongate guide member coupled to the first elongate guide member and configured to slide with respect to the first elongate guide member;
- at least one fixed member protruding from at least one of the first elongate guide member and the second elongate guide member;
- and
- at least one floating member coupled to the at least one fixed member and comprising an opening configured to receive at least a portion of the at least one fixed member, wherein an interior surface within said opening is smooth, thereby allowing the at least one floating member to move relative the at least one fixed member.
2 more elements
A drawer glide mechanism comprising:
- a first elongate guide member;
- a second elongate guide member coupled to the first elongate guide member and configured to move relative to the first elongate guide member;
- a fixed member connected to the first elongate guide member or the second elongate guide member;
- and
- a floating member coupled to the fixed member and comprising an opening configured to receive at least a portion of the fixed member, wherein an interior surface extending along at least a portion of a length of said opening is smooth, thereby allowing the floating member to move relative the at least one fixed member.
