The specification discloses a sequential drawer slide having a simple yet positively reliable sequencing mechanism. The mechanism includes a gravity operable control lever carried by the intermediate slide member and shiftable at the transition point between two positions, each wherein either the cabinet or drawer slide member is interlocked with the intermediate member. The single control lever therefore provides full sequencing of the slide members.

Sequential drawer slide

The specification discloses a lift-out drawer slide having a lock to positively prevent accidental or inadvertent removal of the drawer from the cabinet. As is conventional in lift-out slides, the drawer rail can be vertically cocked with respect to the supporting rail to bypass the stop mechanism and remove the drawer. The present slide includes a movable lock which can be positioned within the clearance space between the rails to prevent relative cocking of the rails and thereby prevent bypassing of the stop mechanism.
