ABSTRACT:
A drawer of the sort used in cabinets, desks, files and the like is supported for sliding movement by a single self-aligning center rail. The rail is mounted to the cabinet frame preferably above the drawer, extending from front to back. It is supported at its forward end by a bracket in fixed position and at the rear end by a cup-shaped receptacle allowing limited lateral movement of the rail end. A bifurcated drawer guide is attached at its lower end to the back wall of the drawer and at its upper end slidably engages the rail. The rail is tubular for the major portion thereof while the forward end is flattened to provide a partial stop action for the drawer and also provide means for the drawer to be fully removed. Low friction guide plates are mounted about the drawer opening for quiet, easy movement thereof.
