Abstract
An improved drawer glide for a drawer slide assembly provides drawer slide securement structure taking the form of an internal recess that securely receives a rear portion of an elongated metal drawer slide extending past a rear panel of a drawer. By providing the recess within the drawer glide as drawer slide securement structure, a range of lengths of drawer slides may be used for a given drawer length, significantly reducing the number of different sizes of drawer slides required to meet demands of the furniture industry. The improved drawer glide also includes internal reinforcement structure in the form of an imbedded metal plate.
