Abstract
A file cabinet drawer slide assembly comprises a slide arm which is fitted with rotatable rollers, the rollers being dimensioned and configured to support a hem of a cabinet drawer. The slide arm is cooperable with a generally C-shaped track fixed to an inside side wall of the cabinet and configured to receive and support the slide arm in rolling telescoping relationship. A pivotable cam member is secured to the forward end of the slide arm in proximity to one of the rollers defining a slot through which the hem of the drawer travels. The bottom wall of the drawer is provided with a downward projection which engages a cross brace connected to the slide arm and normally prevents removal of the drawer. When the cam member is pivoted away from the hem, the drawer may be lifted sufficiently such that the projection disengages from the cross brace and the drawer can be removed from the cabinet.
