Abstract
A telescoping assembly includes a drawer slide member that is slidable toward its retracted position to unlock a trigger lever interconnecting intermediate and cabinet slide members, thereby permitting relative movement between the intermediate and cabinet slide members. Otherwise, the trigger lever acts to block rearward movement of the intermediate slide member toward its retracted position relative to the stationary cabinet member.
Claims2
An over and under telescoping slide assembly for supporting a movable drawer in a cabinet, the slide assembly comprising
- a stationary cabinet slide member for mounting on the cabinet,
- a drawer slide member for carrying the drawer, and
- an intermediate slide member including a support bracket slidably connected to the cabinet slide member and an outer section fixed to the support bracket form movement therewith, the outer section being formed to include channel means having a bottom wall and outwardly extending flanges for receiving the drawer slide member therein, an supporting means retained in the channel means for slidably supporting means drawer slide member in the channel means to permit sliding movement of the drawer slide member relative to the outer section from a retracted position in the outer section to a release position with the drawer slide member partially extending from the intermediate slide member, and where receiving means includes a flexible stop mounted to the bottom wall of said drawer slide member and biased outward from the bottom wall to lockingly engage a lug mounted on the outer section, with said receiving means being releasable to allow the drawer slide member and a drawer mounted thereon to be disconnected from the outer section of the intermediate slide member without removing the supporting means from the channel means in response to exit of the drawer slide member from the channel means at the release position.
