Structure slide track assembly

Abstract

An improved structure slide track assembly comprised of an inner track, it having a check element on its exterior surface and a solid, stepped crown extending from the top of the check element and an outer track that contains a ball bearing channel rail and a center track. The ball bearing channel rail has a reticulated catch slot that is engaged by a spring-based pawl of the center track guide sleeve into a unitary structural entity. When the drawer is installed onto the outer tracks, while the check element stepped crowns at the drawer inner tracks force down press sections on the guide sleeves to disengage the ball bearing channel rails from the center tracks and enable easy sliding with the drawer. As such, the present invention achieves efficient installation and the protection of the ball bearing channel rails to prevent damage due to inappropriate installation.

1 . An improved structure slide track assembly comprised of an inner track that provides for installation on both the left and right sides of an active, pullout-type drawer, the said inner track having a check element on its exterior surface, the said check element serving as a means of separating the drawer and outer track, and a solid, stepped crown extending from the top of the said check element; an outer track that contains a ball bearing channel rail and a center track; a center track having a guide sleeve installed at its anterior-most extremity, with a spring disposed on the said guide sleeve as well as a press section and a pawl projecting from the said spring; and a ball bearing channel rail at the side of the said guide sleeve in the said center track having a reticulated catch slot at its anterior-most extremity adjacent to the said guide sleeve spring; therefore, the said ball bearing channel rail catch slot is engaged and fixed by the said pawl of the said center track guide sleeve into a unitary structural entity; when the drawer is installed onto the said outer tracks, since the said ball bearing channel rails and the said center tracks are engaged into unitary structural entities, insertion from the said center tracks into the said ball bearing channel rails is quite smooth, while the said check element stepped crowns at the said inner tracks on the drawer force down the said press sections on the said guide sleeves to disengage the said ball bearing channel rails from the said center tracks and enable easy sliding by the drawer, thereby achieving efficient installation and the protection of the said ball bearing channel rails to prevent damage due to inappropriate installation.
