Abstract
A mechanism is provided that couples to a slide member of at least a two member slide forming a self-closing slide. The mechanism comprises a housing having a slot guiding an actuator. The actuator is spring coupled to the housing. The actuator engages a second slide member of the slide when the second slide member approaches a closed position. The spring generates a force for moving the actuator and the engaged second slide along the slot to a slide closed position.
