ABSTRACT:
A thin profile drawer slide apparatus for slidably supporting a heavy drawer in an article of furniture, comprising outside channels for slidably attaching the apparatus to a drawer and an article of furniture, a plurality of bearings slidably retained in the channels by parallel, opposed bearing retainers, and by a one-piece, generally "I"-shaped intermediate slide member or retaining member unitarily formed with top and bottom parallel raceway means for guiding the bearing retainers. Use of a single intermediate slide member with raceways for four separate sets of bearings enables construction of a thin, strong drawer slide for carrying heavy loads.
