ABSTRACT:
A drawer slide mechanism for detachably mounting a drawer in a cabinet includes a first slide portion for permanently mounting on the cabinet, a second slide portion slidably engaging the first slide portion, and a third slide portion for permanently mounting on the drawer. The second slide portion includes upper and lower tracks and a stop formed between the upper and lower tracks and extending into the path of motion of the third slide portion to prevent accidental withdrawal of the third slide portion therefrom. The third slide portion includes a lever having a hook portion for engaging the stop on the second slide portion. The lever is permanently mounted adjacent both of its ends from the third slide portion for slight vertical movement to provide for disengagement of the hook portion from the stop. The lever is pivotally mounted at one of its ends, and its other end includes an elongated slot which extends generally transverse to the direction of drawer motion. The third slide portion includes a pin which extends through the slot, the pin having a circular cross section to allow the slight vertical movement. To remove the third slide portion from the second, the lever is moved slightly upwardly so that the hook disengages the stop and the drawer can be removed.
