ABSTRACT:
A slide structure for drawers, racks and the like includes a channel shaped first slide member secured to a support or supported by an exterior slide member slidably telescoped by the first slide member and a wheel carrying second slide member slidably telescoping the first slide member and having a longitudinal well in its inside face is secured to the drawer or rack. A pair of longitudinally spaced stop arms are pivoted at their outer ends to the well base and project toward each other and are outwardly biased by leaf springs projecting outwardly from the arm free ends and defining cams. When the drawer is pulled to a predetermined position extending the slides one of the arm end faces releasably engages an end stop face of the first slide member and the other arm end face engages a transverse stop face of the border of an opening in the first slide member to releasably lock the tracks in position. The leaf spring cam faces prevent excessive pivoting of the arms and jamming upon sliding of the slide members by depressing the excessively raised arms consequent to the engagement of a cam surface by a respective stop face.
