ABSTRACT:
A channel and stop arrangement for structures of the type containing racks or drawers supported from sliding or rolling support members carried in a channel, comprising an elongated channel member of generally C-shaped cross section adapted to receive the support members in its interior trackway and a stop member positioned in the end of the channel member to retain the support members in the trackway. The stop member comprises a cap portion of enlarged cross section joined to a rigid central body portion by a neck portion of reduced cross section and a lateral positioning tab extending from the central body portion. The tab is adapted to flex longitudinally relative to the central body portion between a normal position and an assembly position to facilitate insertion of the stop member into the channel and to rigidly oppose lateral motion relative to the central body portion to laterally retain the stop member in the channel. The channel member side wall has an indented portion formed near its front-facing end rigidly projecting into the trackway. When the stop is positioned in the channel, the indented portion extends between the cap portion and the central body portion to prevent longitudinal outward movement of the stop member, the indented portion and the central body portion providing sufficient structural rigidity to oppose longitudinal loads applied to the stop member by pull-out forces exerted on the rack or drawer.
