An improved drawer glide for a drawer slide assembly provides drawer slide securement means taking the form of an internal recess with a ramped locking tab that lockingly secures a rear portion of an elongated metal drawer slide extending past a rear panel of a drawer. By providing the recess within the drawer glide as part of the drawer slide securement means, a range of lengths of drawer slides may be used for a given drawer length, significantly reducing the number of different sizes of drawer slides required to meet demands of the furniture industry. The ramped locking tab also facilitates furniture assembly by providing reliable securement of the drawer slide in the drawer guide prior to installation on in a furniture unit. External integral reinforcement means are also provided in the form of gussets.

Drawer glide for drawer slide assembly

A versatile user-adjustable clamp for clamping accessories to the panels of ready-to-assemble furniture articles, and other surfaces such as countertops, has a main body member, a jaw member, and a knob. The main body member has a substantially spool-shaped section with accessory interface means at opposing ends thereof, and a rectangular section that projects tangentially from the spool-shaped section. The spool-shaped section of the main body member telescopingly receives the jaw member, and has a knob-receiving aperture. The knob is rotatably secured within the knob aperture and provides a means for actuating the telescopic movement of the jaw member relative to the main clamp body. The jaw member includes a flat surface interface that is oriented parallel to the rectangular section of the main clamp body, and has a separate accessory interface means therein. This separate accessory interface means can include a snap-lock feature, allowing users to confirm that the clamp is securely fastened to an associated accessory. The clamp can be used as a hinge when rotatably mounted to a pair of hinge-halves that comprise a further accessory interface means, using the first two accessory interface means.
