Abstract
A drawer slide (12) has a moveable lock member (30) and a set of spaced apart slots (24, 26, 28) configured for receiving respective chassis mounting lugs (22). The slots (24, 28) are substantially vertical, and the slot (26) extends on one side of the slots (24, 28) and at an angle to the vertical, sloping downward and away from the slots (24, 28). The lock member (30) is linearly moveable from a closed position adjacent to the slot (24) to an open position aside of the slot (24) to selectively allow the mounting lug (22) to be removed from the slot (24). The lock member (30) includes an elongate tab (42) for slidably fitting within an elongate slot (44) in the drawer slide (12), and an elongate slot (58) through which a rivet extends to slidably secure the lock member (30) to the drawer slide (12).
