ABSTRACT:
A drawer slide includes a first slide channel telescopically mounted for longitudinal movement in a second slide channel. The first channel includes a cantilever spring latch which engages the second slide channel when the first slide channel is extended to a fully telescoped position associated with a fully open drawer supported by the first channel. The first slide channel further includes a longitudinally movable manual release lever, which is slidable to engage and release the spring latch and thus allow the first channel to be slidably translated into the second channel thereby allowing the attached drawer to be moved to the closed position. The first slide channel further includes a second cantilever spring latch that limits the opening movement of the first channel. Both spring members may be released by an auxiliary release lever.
