Abstract
A sliding guide rail assembly (20, 20a, 20b) is provided for slidably mounting a drawer or equipment (10) within a cabinet or chassis. The rail (33a) is formed from a sheet metal into a T-shaped section onto which a sliding means (40, 40a, 40b, 40c) fits and slides smoothly thereon. Guides (50, 120, 150, 160) also formed from a sheet metal into C-sections fitting over the sliding means (40, 40a, 40b, 40c) and operable to slide smoothly therewith. This enables the drawer/equipment mounted on the slide (20, 20a, 20b) to be drawn in and out with little effort or wear and tear.
Claims9
A sliding guide assembly supporting a drawer/equipment for slidably opening and closing within a cabinet or chassis comprising:
- a mounting bracket in the form of an L-section having a vertical flange for mounting to a part of said cabinet or chassis and a horizontal flange;
- a rail flange perpendicularly mounted to said horizontal flange, having one edge formed into a T-rail, and adjacent said T-rail is formed a first pair of limit stoppers;
- a sliding housing having sliding means, arranged to fit on said T-rail and being operable to slide smoothly thereon, with the distance of travel limited between said first pair of limit stoppers;
- and
- a pull-out guide having a C-section arranged to fit over said sliding housing, and being operable to slide smoothly therewith between a second pair of limit stoppers;
- wherein the pull-out guide is mounted to the drawer/equipment, the potential travel of said pull-out guide in relation to the rail flange is given by the total distances between the first pair of limit stoppers on said T-rail and the second pair of limit stoppers on said pull-out guide minus twice the length of said sliding housing.
