ABSTRACT:
A drawer slide (12) has a chassis member (14), an intermediate member (16) and a rack member (18). An emboss (162) is formed into the rack member (18). A lock member (158) has a tab (160) which extends through a window (164) in the intermediate member (16) for engaging the emboss (162). A slot (166) is formed into the lock member (158) for receiving a fastener (168) to slidably secure the lock member (158) to the intermediate member (16). The slot (166) and the window (164) are configured for receiving the fastener (168) and the tab (160), respectively, such that the lock member (158) is lineally moveable relative to the intermediate member (16). A torsion spring (172) biases the lock member (158) to engage the emboss (162). The chassis member (14) is moved rearward and engages the lock member (158) to move the tab (160) aside of the emboss (162).
