Abstract
Abstract Drawer rail assemblies are attached to slotted vertical standards with special supports, each support having a clip and a slide element. The clip has projecting tabs to fit within the slots of the vertical standards at the selected height, and has ear portions forming a slide channel for retaining the slide element. The slide element has orifices to receive fasteners which attach the drawer rail thereto and also secure the slide element against further sliding motion in the clip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A drawer rail support assembly comprising: slotted vertical standards having a plurality of vertically spaced slots therein; a drawer rail support for each vertical standard, including a clip and a slide element; said clip having projections for interfitting with said slots at a selected elevation and having portions defining a slide channel for said slide element; said slide element having fastener receiving orifices for attachment of a drawer rail thereto; said clip portions and slide element being arranged for securement of said slide element against sliding in said slide channel when the drawer rail is attached to said slide element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A drawer rail support assembly comprising: slotted vertical standards having a plurality of vertically spaced slots therein; a drawer rail support for each vertical standard, including a clip and a slide element; said clip having projections for interfitting with said slots at a selected elevation and having portions defining a slide channel for said slide element; said slide element having fastener receiving orifices for attachment of a drawer rail thereto; said clip portions and slide element being arranged for securement of said slide element against sliding in said slide channel when the drawer rail is attached to said slide element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
73 words
A mount for attaching a drawer rail assembly to slotted vertical standards comprising: a clip and a slide element interfitting therewith; said clip having projections for interfitting with a slotted standard, and having portions defining a slide channel for said slide element; said slide element being slidably interfitted in said slide channel for sliding movement, and having means for cooperation with drawer rail attaching fasteners to attach a drawer rail to said mount.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
73 words
A mount for attaching a drawer rail assembly to slotted vertical standards comprising: a clip and a slide element interfitting therewith; said clip having projections for interfitting with a slotted standard, and having portions defining a slide channel for said slide element; said slide element being slidably interfitted in said slide channel for sliding movement, and having means for cooperation with drawer rail attaching fasteners to attach a drawer rail to said mount.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
73 words
A mount for attaching a drawer rail assembly to slotted vertical standards comprising: a clip and a slide element interfitting therewith; said clip having vertically spaced uppere and lower projections for interfitting with a slotted standard, and having portions defining a laterally oriented slide channel for said slide element; said slide element being slidably retained in said slide channel for limited sliding movement, and having orifice means for receiving drawer rail attaching fasteners.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
73 words
A mount for attaching a drawer rail assembly to slotted vertical standards comprising: a clip and a slide element interfitting therewith; said clip having vertically spaced uppere and lower projections for interfitting with a slotted standard, and having portions defining a laterally oriented slide channel for said slide element; said slide element being slidably retained in said slide channel for limited sliding movement, and having orifice means for receiving drawer rail attaching fasteners.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
The mount in claim 3 wherein said clip has a body from which said projections and said portions extend, said portions extending adjacent said orifice means to be between the drawer rail assembly and said slide element to cause the fasteners to retain said slide element against sliding when secured.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The mount in claim 3 wherein said orifice means comprise slots elongated in the direction of said slide element sliding movement.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The mount in claim 3 including stops to limit the sliding movement of said sliding element in said slide channel.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
120 words
A drawer rail and support assembly comprising: a plurality of slotted vertical standards each having a plurality of vertically spaced slots therein; a drawer rail mount for each vertical standard, including a clip and a slide element; said clip having projections for interfitting with said slots at a selected elevation and portions defining a slide channel for said slide element; each said slide element having fastener receiving orifices for attachment of a drawer rail thereto; drawer rails attached to said mounts by fasteners received in said orifice, said fasteners causing said clip and said slide element to bind together to restrain sliding of said slide element in said slide channel when the drawer rail is attached to said slide element.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
120 words
A drawer rail and support assembly comprising: a plurality of slotted vertical standards each having a plurality of vertically spaced slots therein; a drawer rail mount for each vertical standard, including a clip and a slide element; said clip having projections for interfitting with said slots at a selected elevation and portions defining a slide channel for said slide element; each said slide element having fastener receiving orifices for attachment of a drawer rail thereto; drawer rails attached to said mounts by fasteners received in said orifice, said fasteners causing said clip and said slide element to bind together to restrain sliding of said slide element in said slide channel when the drawer rail is attached to said slide element.
