Abstract
A damper assembly includes anti-rattle tracking devices or components for preventing rattling and play when a sliding tray is moved into and out from a stationary housing by a damper device. The damper device further includes a fail-safe locking device so as to maintain the assembly of the locking device for the sliding tray regardless of either a pushing or pulling motion.
