Abstract
A cabinet door or doors are each hingedly mounted to the slide brackets of a pair of slide track assemblies which, in turn, are secured to a side wall of a cabinet. A pair of inelastic cables of substantially the same length connect the upper and lower slide brackets in a prescribed configuration to prevent skewing of the slide brackets at all times. One of the cables extends rearwardly from the upper bracket across an upper rear pulley, downwardly and forwardly around a lower front pulley and back into the lower bracket. The other cable follows the opposite path from the upper bracket forwardly around an upper front pulley, downwardly and rearwardly around a lower rear pulley, and forwardly into the lower bracket. Because the cables are of equal length, they insure that vertical alignment is maintained.
