A track assembly for a pull-out member, such as a drawer for a piece of furniture or an oven tray for cooked food, includes a stationary guide rail, a runner slidable with respect to the guide rail in an operating direction between extracted and retracted positions and coupled to a pull-out slide member, and a spring-biased brake mechanism mounted transversely to the operating direction of the runner and bearing upon at least one flank of the runner, to thereby impede a smooth run between the runner and the guide rail of the track assembly in cases in which a certain degree of sluggishness is desired.

Track assembly for a pull-out member

A cabinet with a glass door is formed by inserting into the top and bottom walls of the cabinet a hinge part composed of a bushing and two elastic members with projections. Inserted between these elastic members and secured against the bushing by them is a hinge post which is a part of a second hinge part that has a receiving slot. The receiving slot is operative for receiving the glass door which is secured in the pocket by a clamping screw. In this way the door may be easily and quickly installed and removed.
