Abstract
A bearing drawer slide () has an inner slide member () which is slidably extensible from within an outer slide member (). Captives bearings () have elongate bodies () for locating in fixed relation to a rearward end () of the inner slide member (), disposed within the bearing spaces () between the inner slide member () and the outer slide member (), with sides () of the elongate bodies fitting against bearing races () of the outer and inner slide members (). The captive bearings () are moveable with the inner slide member () relative to the outer slide member (), and prevent movement of the rearward end () of the inner slide member () relative to the outer slide member () in directions which are transverse to the directions in which inner slide member () extends relative to the outer slide member (), particularly when the inner slide member () is fully retracted within the outer slide member ().
