Drawer glide mechanism

A cabinet system comprising:

• a cabinet comprising a back cabinet panel, two side cabinet panels, and a plurality of face frame components;
• a drawer comprising a back drawer panel, two side drawer panels, and a front drawer panel;
• and
• two drawer glide mechanisms, each drawer glide mechanism comprising:
• a first elongate guide member comprising a first end attached to one of the plurality of face frame components, a second end opposite the first end, and a length extending between the first and second ends;
• a second elongate guide member comprising a first end, a second end opposite the first end of the second elongate guide member, and a length extending between the first and second ends of the second elongate guide member, the second elongate guide member connected to one of the two side drawer panels at one or more locations along the length of the second elongate guide member between the first and second ends of the second elongate guide member;
• and
• a ball bearing component comprising a plurality of ball bearings positioned between at least a portion of the first elongate guide member and at least a portion of the second elongate guide member, the ball bearing component configured to allow the second elongate guide member to move relative to the first elongate guide member;
• an attachment structure for securing the first elongate guide member to the back cabinet panel, the attachment structure arranged at the second end of the first elongate guide member and positioned against the back cabinet panel, the attachment structure oriented substantially perpendicular with respect to the length of the first elongate guide member and comprising a first slot and a second slot spaced from the first slot;
• a first fastener extending through the first slot of the attachment structure and through at least a portion of the back cabinet panel;
• and
• a second fastener extending through the second slot of the attachment structure and through at least a portion of the back cabinet panel;
• wherein the attachment structure and the first and second fasteners are secured to the back cabinet panel such that the attachment structure and the second end of the first elongate guide member are slideable along the first and second fasteners via the first and second slots.

A drawer glide mechanism for use with a cabinet and a drawer, the drawer glide mechanism comprising:

• a first elongate guide member comprising a first end configured to be secured to a front panel of the cabinet, a second end opposite the first end, and a length extending between the first and second ends;
• a second elongate guide member comprising a first end, a second end opposite the first end of the second elongate guide member, and a length extending between the first and second ends of the second elongate guide member, the second elongate guide member configured to be secured to a side panel of the drawer at one or more locations along the length of the second elongate guide member between the first and second ends of the second elongate guide member;
• a ball bearing component comprising a plurality of ball bearings positioned between at least a portion of the first elongate guide member and at least a portion of the second elongate guide member, the ball bearing component configured to allow the second elongate guide member to move relative to the first elongate guide member;
• an attachment structure for securing the first elongate guide member to a back panel of the cabinet, the attachment structure arranged at the second end of the first elongate guide member and configured to be positioned against the back panel of the cabinet when the drawer glide mechanism is in an installed position, the attachment structure oriented substantially perpendicular with respect to the length of the first elongate guide member and comprising a first slot and a second slot spaced from the first slot;
• a first fastener configured to extend through the first slot of the attachment structure and through at least a portion of the back panel;
• and
• a second fastener configured to extend through the second slot of the attachment structure and through at least a portion of the back panel;
• wherein the attachment structure, the first and second fasteners, and the first and second slots are configured to permit the attachment structure and the second end of the first elongate guide member to slide along the first and second fasteners via the first and second slots.

A drawer glide mechanism for use with a cabinet and a drawer, the drawer glide mechanism comprising:

• a first elongate guide member comprising a first end configured to be secured to a front portion of the cabinet and a second end opposite the first end;
• a second elongate guide member movably connected to the first elongate guide member and configured to be secured to the drawer;
• an attachment structure for securing the first elongate guide member to a back panel of the cabinet, the attachment structure arranged at the second end of the first elongate guide member and configured to be positioned against the back panel of the cabinet when the drawer glide mechanism is in an installed position, the attachment structure comprising a first slot and a second slot spaced from the first slot;
• a first fastener configured to extend through the first slot of the attachment structure and through at least a portion of the back panel of the cabinet;
• and
• a second fastener configured to extend through the second slot of the attachment structure and through at least a portion of the back panel of the cabinet;
• wherein the attachment structure, the first and second fasteners, and the first and second slots are configured to permit the attachment structure and the second end of the first elongate guide member to slide along the first and second fasteners via the first and second slots.
