Abstract:
1. A mechanism to moveably couple a drawer to a drawer support structure, the mechanism comprising: a pair of tracks mountable to opposing sides of the support structure, each track having a first section aligned with a direction of movement of the drawer and a second section configured substantially transverse to the direction of movement of the drawer; a pair of drawer stabilizer assemblies mountable to opposing rear portions of the drawer, each drawer stabilizer assembly configured to moveably couple with a corresponding track; a coupling mechanism to couple the drawer stabilizer assemblies to the second section of the track when the drawer is closed; a first arm mountable to a corresponding rear portion of the drawer; a second arm pivotally coupled to the first arm; a spring coupled to the first arm and the second arm to bias the movement of the first arm angularly apart from the second arm relative to each other, wherein the first arm and the second arm are substantially perpendicular to each other when the drawer is disposed in an open position, and aligned to each other when the drawer is disposed in a closed position; and a wheel coupled to the second arm and configured to rotatably couple to a corresponding one of the tracks.
