Drawer guide system

A drawer guide plastic assembly for a drawer guide system comprising:

• a drawer guide having a front end, a rear end, a top portion, a pair of side walls attached to the top portion, a pair of inwardly extending flanges attached to the pair of side walls and extending from the front end to the rear end, an elongate recess disposed between the top portion and the pair of side walls, and a window disposed at a rear end of each side wall of the pair of side walls;
• and
• a drawer guide plastic adapted to be partially disposed within the recess at the rear end of the drawer guide, the drawer guide plastic having a front end with a pair of legs extending therefrom and a rear end having a pair of rollers disposed therein, each leg of the pair of legs including a tab adapted to be disposed within each window of the pair of side walls upon insertion of the pair of legs of the drawer guide plastic into the rear end of the drawer guide,
• wherein the tabs of the drawer guide plastic extend outside of the windows of the pair of side walls and, upon contact with a pair of cam mechanisms of a case runner plastic, cause the cam mechanisms to rotate into the windows of the drawer guide, forming a stop mechanism and preventing further movement of the drawer guide, and the pair of rollers of the drawer guide plastic is adapted to contact a pair of flanges of a case runner, reducing friction between the drawer guide and the case runner.

A drawer guide system comprising:

• a case runner plastic assembly comprising a case runner having a front end, a rear end, a base, a pair of side walls attached to the base and a pair of outwardly extending flanges attached to the pair of side walls and extending from the front end to the rear end;
• and a case runner plastic having a front end, a rear end, a central portion disposed between the front and rear ends and adapted to be secured to a drawer frame, a pair of cam mechanisms, each cam mechanism disposed on either side of the central portion, and a roller bearing surface disposed in the rear end, wherein the rear end of the case runner plastic is disposed within and removably secured to the front end of the case runner such that the pair of side walls of the case runner contact the rear end of the case runner plastic;
• and
• a drawer guide plastic assembly comprising a drawer guide having a front end, a rear end, a top portion, a pair of side walls attached to the top portion, a pair of inwardly extending flanges attached to the pair of side walls and extending from the front end to the rear end, an elongate recess disposed between the top portion and the pair of side walls, and a window disposed on each side wall of the pair of side walls;
• and a drawer guide plastic adapted to be partially disposed within the drawer guide, the drawer guide plastic having a front end, a rear end, a pair of rollers disposed in the front end, a pair of legs extending from the rear end and biased in a outward direction, each leg of the pair of legs having a tab adapted to be disposed within the window of the pair of side walls upon insertion of the pair of legs of the drawer guide plastic into the drawer guide,
• wherein the recess at the front end of the drawer guide receives the case runner plastic assembly, such that the pair of rollers of the drawer guide plastic run along top surfaces of the pair of flanges of the case runner, reducing friction between the case runner and the drawer guide;
• and
• wherein the cam mechanisms of the case runner plastic engage the windows of the side walls of the drawer guide when the drawer guide is in a fully extended position, forming a lock between the drawer guide and the case runner plastic and preventing any further extension of the drawer guide plastic assembly.

A drawer guide system comprising:

• a case runner plastic assembly having a case runner plastic adapted to be secured to a drawer frame, and a case runner attached to the case runner plastic, the case runner plastic having a pair of cam mechanisms;
• and
• a drawer guide plastic assembly having a drawer guide adapted to be secured to a drawer, and a drawer guide plastic inserted into and secured to the drawer guide, the drawer guide plastic having a pair of tabs, wherein the drawer guide includes a pair of sidewalls, each sidewall having a window for receiving the pair of tabs of the drawer guide plastic, the drawer guide adapted to run along a longitudinal axis of the case runner during operation of the drawer;
• wherein, upon contact with the tabs of the drawer guide plastic, the cam mechanisms automatically rotate about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the case runner into the windows of the drawer guide, temporarily securing the case runner plastic to the drawer guide and preventing any further extension of the drawer guide.

A drawer guide system comprising:

• a case runner plastic assembly having a case runner plastic adapted to be secured to a drawer frame, and a case runner attached to the case runner plastic, the case runner plastic having a pair of cam mechanisms;
• and
• a drawer guide plastic assembly having a drawer guide adapted to be secured to a drawer, and a drawer guide plastic inserted into and secured to the drawer guide, the drawer guide plastic having a pair of tabs, wherein the drawer guide includes a pair of side walls, each sidewall having a window for receiving the tabs of the drawer guide plastic, the drawer guide adapted to run along a longitudinal axis of the case runner during operation of the drawer;
• wherein, upon contact with the tabs of the drawer guide plastic, the cam mechanisms automatically rotate into the windows of the drawer guide, creating an interference outside of the longitudinal axis of the case runner to counterbalance the weight of a fully extended drawer.
