Abstract

The glide runner support of the present invention is comprised of a pair of longitudinal members, spaced apart and aligned parallel with one another, each one being formed having a centrally located longitudinal interior channel extending the length thereof with a stop at one end. A holding bracket forming 'C-shaped' flanges is integrally formed on each end of the longitudinal members for attachment of a support frame. A container such as a drawer, wire basket, or other organizer container having a pair of support members extending therefrom, such as a pair of support rods or lips, slidably engage the longitudinal interior channels of the longitudinal members. The glide runner support is designed with the longitudinal members being bowed slightly inward so that the application of external pressure, such as is generated by a heavy object held within the organizer, creates tension between the container support members and the longitudinal interior channels; thereby resulting in a trussing effect by the support members against the longitudinal interior channel walls to control the sliding movement of the container. Interaction of the stop member within the longitudinal interior channels of the longitudinal members limit the reciprocating movement of the container within the glide runner support.
