ABSTRACT:
A universal and economical drawer slide is mounted on the rear underside of a pull drawer to engage a fixed cabinet side member or channel. The preferred embodiments disclosed in the present application are rectangular in shape and are intended for use with furniture-type drawers which have a recessed drawer back, with the thin bottom of the drawer secured into the recess in the drawer back. By making the drawer guide rectangular in configuration, it may be thinner at the rear and therefore may be used with a furniture-type drawer with a cutting away of only a short section in the center of the bottom of the drawer back. The cabinet guide members may be made of wood or of metal channels, and include laterally extending side rails which are engaged by the molded plastic drawer guide which is secured to the rear portion of the drawer. The drawer guide includes a generally rectangular flat, thin plastic body, with a flange which extends upwardly and over the outer side of the back portion of the drawer. Near the very rear of the drawer at the back of the drawer guide, it includes two laterally extending members to overly the laterally extending portions of the cabinet guide members. The plastic body also carries depending members along its length which engage the outer sides of the cabinet guides to maintain the drawer in alignment.
