A bearing retainer lock () for a drawer slide () has a detent pin () which engages within an opening () formed into a forward end () of a bearing retainer (). The detent pin () is mounted to the slide member () to which the bearing retainer () is secured. A slot () is formed into the detent pin () such that sides of the detent pin () have a predetermined flexibility. The opening () in the bearing retainer () has two side portions () which are of selected widths to determine a flexibility of the opening (). The size and depth of the slot () in the detent pin () are selected in combination with the width of the side portions () of the opening () such that the detent pin () will engage within and release from the opening () at a predetermined force.

A staging lock () is movably mounted to an intermediate member (), and has a follower tab () and a lock tab (). When the intermediate member () is fully extended from within the cabinet member (), the follower tab () engages a cam form () on the cabinet member () and moves the staging lock () from a closed position to an open position. When the staging lock () is disposed in the closed position, the lock tab () engages a staging lock catch () on the chassis member () to secure the chassis member () in a fully retracted position within the intermediate member (). When the staging lock () is moved to the open position, the chassis member () may extend from within the intermediate member (). A rear lock () retains the intermediate member () in a fully extended position until the chassis member () is fully retracted within the intermediate member ().

A telescoping support member () is provided for supporting a central portion () of a cable management arm () for use with drawer slides (). The drawer slides () each have a cabinet member (), an intermediate member () and a chassis member (). The cable management arm () is secured on one end to one of the chassis members () and on an other end to one of the cabinet members (). The support member () has a first end () pivotally secured in fixed relation to one of the intermediate members () and a second end () pivotally secured in fixed relation to one of the cabinet members (). Extension of the drawer slides () extends the cable management arm () and the support member (), with said support member () disposed beneath and in sliding engagement with the central portion () of the cable management arm ().

A drawer slide () is provided with a front release lock () and disconnect lock () moveably mounted a first slide member () for engaging opposite sides of a stopper () mounted to a second slide member (). A release linkage () is slidably secured to the first slide member () for moving the release lock () from a lock position to a release position, spaced apart from the stopper (), to allow the first slide member () to retract into the second slide member (). A disconnect linkage () is slidably secured to the first slide member () for moving the disconnect lock () from a retaining position to a disconnect position, spaced apart from the catch (), to allow the first slide member () to be removed from the second slide member (). The front release lock () and the disconnect lock () are slidably secured within a bracket () with bias springs () urging the release lock () into the lock position and the disconnect lock () into the retaining position.

A chassis lock () for drawer slide () is provided by a slot () and a rotary lock member (). The rotary lock member () has a disk-shaped body () with an arcuately shaped cutout portion defining a cam follower surface (). A stop protuberance () extends from the rotary lock member () with opposite ends () which locate the rotary lock member () in an open position and a closed position. A torsion spring () urges the rotary lock member () into the closed position. The weight of a drawer is applied through a mounting lug () to the cam follower surface (), to move the rotary lock member () to the open position which aligns the cam follower surface () for passing the mounting lug () into a lock section () of the slot (). When in the closed position, the disk-shaped portion () of the rotary lock member () prevents removal of the mounting lug () from within the lock section () of the slot ().

A bearing drawer slide () has an inner slide member () which is slidably extensible from within an outer slide member (). Captives bearings () have elongate bodies () for locating in fixed relation to a rearward end () of the inner slide member (), disposed within the bearing spaces () between the inner slide member () and the outer slide member (), with sides () of the elongate bodies fitting against bearing races () of the outer and inner slide members (). The captive bearings () are moveable with the inner slide member () relative to the outer slide member (), and prevent movement of the rearward end () of the inner slide member () relative to the outer slide member () in directions which are transverse to the directions in which inner slide member () extends relative to the outer slide member (), particularly when the inner slide member () is fully retracted within the outer slide member ().

Anti-torque load captive bearings

A drawer slide () has a first slide member () and second slide member (). A lock member () has a forward portion (), a central portion () and a tab (). The forward portion () is mounted to the first slide member (). The central portion () extends from the forward portion () and fits within an aperture () in a forward end of the second slide member () to secure the first slide member () to the second slide member (). A release member () is slidably secured to the first slide member (), and has a first window () through which the central portion () extends, a second window () through which the tab () extends, and a cam () disposed adjacent to the second window () for pushing the tab () to remove the central portion () of the lock member () from the aperture ().

Low profile lock with front release for a drawer slide

A drawer slide () has a chassis member (), an intermediate member () and a rack member (). An emboss () is formed into the rack member (). A lock member () has a tab () which extends through a window () in the intermediate member () for engaging the emboss (). A slot () is formed into the lock member () for receiving a fastener () to slidably secure the lock member () to the intermediate member ().
