Abstract

A drawer slide mechanism for detachably mounting a drawer in a cabinet includes a first slide member for rigidly mounting on the cabinet, a second slide member slidably engaging the first slide member, and a third slide member for rigidly mounting on the drawer. The first slide member provides a pair of facing tracks. The second slide member provides a second pair of tracks in solid bearing engagement with the first tracks. The second slide member further includes a third pair of tracks which face in opposite directions between the tracks of the second pair. The tracks of the third pair form, with a fourth pair of tracks provided on the third slide member, a pair of bearing races for receiving ball- or roller bearings. The fourth tracks face toward one another.
