Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a bayonet mounting means in combination with a drawer-slide device used in conjunction with file and desk drawers. The drawer-slide device is of the type having oppositely-disposed rails operably interconnected by ball rollers wherein one rail is fixedly attached to the side of a drawer, while the opposite rail is removably attached to the inner cabinet frame by means of bayonet, spring-loaded clips formed as an integral part of the removable rail by stamping out, at each end thereof, a main finger and at least one limiting rib member. One bayonet clip is positioned in a horizontal plane while the oppositely-disposed clip is positioned vertical to the center line of the rail, and each clip is adapted to be removably received in slots formed in the frame of the file cabinet or desk, thereby providing a simple and easy method of installing desk and file drawers in their related structures.
