Abstract

A rail assembly for furniture has a stationary track, an internal track, a sliding frame, a latch bracket and a resilient latch. When the internal track and sliding frame are pushed in, the resilient latch engages the sliding frame as the sliding frame releases the resilient latch from an extended position. The latch bracket automatically pulls the resilient latch and the attached sliding frame to a completely closed position.
