Abstract
A precision ball bearing slide mechanism having a removable inner member. One version of the invention utilizes an inner member which also holds the inner member in a locked out extended position. The inner member is stopped and locked by the engagement of an elongated latch with a stop. By moving the latch the inner member may be removed from the body of the slide. Latches which lock the inner member in an extended configuration and permit retraction only upon movement of the latch are disclosed as are configurations which permit the slide to be readily retracted. Also disclosed is a version of the latch which permits the slide to be retracted upon exertion of an inward force on the slide.
