Abstract
A detachable rail assembly for drawers has a track assembly, a rail and a resilient latch. The track assembly is adapted to be attached to a fixture, the rail is slidably mounted in the track assembly and the latch is secured on the rail. A limit block with two locking protrusions is firmly attached to one end of a slide track of the track assembly, and two wings are defined laterally on opposite sides of the latch respectively to abut the locking protrusions. Two ribs are formed on a surface of the latch facing the rail so the rail can be separated by pressing the latch toward the rail easily and the latch is easily for a manufactured.

A detachable rail assembly for drawers and the detachable rail assembly comprising:
- a track assembly adapted to be attached to a sidewall of furniture and the track assembly comprising
- a slide track having an inner end, an outer end and two opposing sidewalls, and two guides formed at the two sidewalls respectively;
- a slide frame having an outer end and an inner end and slidably mounted on the slide track, and the slide frame having multiple ball bearings arranged on the slide frame, the ball bearings partly received in the guide of the slide track to allow the slide frame to move;
- and
- a limit block attached to the outer end of the slide track and a stop corresponding to the limit block formed on the inner end of the slide frame so movement of the slide frame is limited on the slide track, and the limit block having two locking protrusions respectively formed on two opposite sides of the limit block;
- a rail slidably mounted in the slide frame and adapted to be attached to a drawer, the rail having
- two sides with outer concave groves formed on two long sides of the rail to hold the ball bearings of the slide frame;
- and
- an attachment device formed on the rail;
- and
- a resilient latch attached to the rail by the attachment device and the latch with an outer end and an inner end having
- a notch formed at the outer end of the latch to attach to the attachment device;
- an inclined segment formed at the inner end of the latch and having a nub under the inclined segment and the inclined segment held by the attachment device;
- and
- two wings respectively protruding laterally from opposite sides of the inclined segment to abut with the locking protrusions;
- wherein, the improvement comprises:
- two ribs respectively formed on opposite sides of the nub under the inclined segment;
- wherein, a gap is defined between the latch and the rail so the latch can be pressed to release the wings from the locking protrusions and the rail is easily separated from the track assembly.
