Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
273 words
A slide and guide assembly including a guide member adapted to be mounted to a drawer and a roller assembly adapted to be mounted to a cabinet, said adjustable roller assembly including: a bushing having a first end and a second end and a threaded bore extending axially from the first end of said bushing toward said second end, said bore sized for threaded engagement with said screw, exterior key means on the first end of said bushing, a roller having an axially facing first and second face and including, an inner race, an outer race, bearings captivated betWeen the races, and a roller member on the outer race, said inner race having a through axial bore of a predetermined diameter greater than the diameter of said threaded screw and the diameter of said bushing, and a keyway in the inner race extending axially from the second face of said roller, a radially inwardly extending shoulder constricting the mouth of said bore of said inner race adjacent said first face of said roller with an opening sized for passage of said threaded screw, a coil spring of a diameter greater than the diameter of said threaded screw captivated between said shoulder and the bushing, whereby, said threaded screw extends through the bore of said inner race and into threaded engagement with said threaded bore and said bushing, said roller is adapted to be moved inwardly and outwardly relative to said bushing on sliding movement of said key in said keyway; and means to mount said bushing to a first surface said roller assembly mounted for relative movement with respect to said guide assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
