Abstract
A drawer slide assembly comprising two or more channel pieces is fabricated from both plastic and metal materials. Specifically, the channel pieces are made up of formed steel and certain individual components such as stops, cushions and ball retainers are made of plastic. The invention behind the present concept is usage of detents, tabs and projections to retain the plastic components in their positions while maintaining the functional integrity of these individual items as they function within the drawer slide.
