Abstract
A drawer slide assembly, includes a first slide member securable to an article of furniture, a second slide member securable to a drawer, an intermediate slide member having an area formed with a plurality of raceways, and a plurality of rolling elements received in the raceways for slidingly coupling the second and intermediate slide members. In order to significantly improve a lateral stability of the drawer slide and to reduce the elastic deformation in the area of the race ways when subject to stress, the raceways-forming area of the intermediate slide member has a groove which is open towards the outside for receiving an inwardly bent end arm of the intermediate slide member.
