Patent abstract
The apparatus and methods reduce the force needed to open and close a drawer, as well as reduce noise generated by friction slide mechanisms when the drawer is opened and closed. A drawer slide mechanism includes a first elongated track, an elongated rail, and a low friction material. The rail is telescopically received by the track, by which a path of motion is defined for the rail. The rail remains at least partially received by the track along the entire path of motion of the rail. In addition, the low friction material is disposed between the track and the rail such that the low friction material remains at least partially disposed between the track and the rail throughout the entire path of motion.
