Abstract

A drawer slide with a detent mechanism which provides a detent-in, detent-out and midway detent function. Detent bumpers are coupled to slide members of a drawer slide. The detent bumpers engage protrusions located on other slide members at points along the length of travel of the drawer slide so as to provide a frictional interface. In one embodiment the protrusion is formed by use of an opposing detent bumper.
