Patent ID: 8459758

Claim:
A slide for a drawer having a frame and drawer box, the slide comprising: a stationary slide member attachable to the frame of the drawer; a telescoping slide member slideable with respect to the stationary slide member between an extended position and a retracted position, the telescoping slide member attachable to the drawer box for traversing the drawer box between an opened position and a closed position; an arm connected to the stationary slide member and having a slot formed therein; and an auto close mechanism with reset feature attached to both the stationary and telescoping slide members, the auto close mechanism with reset feature comprising: a pin in fixed relative position with respect to the telescoping slide member and the drawer box; and an actuator connected to the arm and slidable within the slot, the actuator being biased toward a retracted position and traversable to an extended position as the drawer box is traversed to the opened position, the actuator having a catch traversable between an engaged position so that the actuator and the pin are in fixed relative position to each other for auto closing the drawer box and a release position so that the pin is released from the actuator for allowing the drawer box to be traversed to the opened position, the actuator defining a leading portion having a ramp configuration for resetting the auto close mechanism when the actuator is inadvertently traversed to the engaged position when the drawer box is in the opened position, wherein the slot includes a generally straight segment and a curved segment.
