Abstract
The organizer glide system of the present invention is comprised of a base frame slidably engaging a pair of support rails mounted to a support surface. A wire basket or other organizer container is removably secured to the base frame. The glide system is designed so that the application of external pressure, such as is generated by a heavy object held within the organizer, creates tension on the leg members of the base frame; thereby flexing the leg members resulting in a trussing effect by the side runners against the channel walls to control the sliding movement of the base frame and container. Interaction of the stop member of the base frame with the stops of the support rails limits the reciprocating movement of the glide system.
Claims10
A reciprocating organizer glide system comprising:
- a base frame comprising a pair of spaced apart parallel front and rear cross members, a pair of leg members extending downward at an angle from the distal ends of each one of said cross members providing flexible support, a pair of side runners spaced apart extending longitudinally and parallel to one another and generally perpendicular to said cross members and said leg members, said side runners being attached to the distal ends of said leg members, a pair of spaced apart and parallel support members extending lengthwise, parallel to, and in between said side runners being attached to said cross members and a stop member attached to said support members between said front and rear cross members, located near one end of said support members, said stop member extending outward at least as far as said side runner;
- and
- a pair of support rails mounted to a support structure, spaced apart and parallel to one another, each one of said support rails comprising a top surface, an exterior sidewall, and an interior sidewall, an inner channel within said interior sidewall extending continuously along the entire length of said support rail for supporting said side runners of said base frame, said side runners being slidably engaged within said channels of said support rails, a plurality of spaced apart external grooves extending longitudinally within said exterior sidewall of each of said support rails, and a front or rear stop means located on said top surface near one end of each of said support rails.
