Description
VERTICAL SUPPORT FOR A SLIDE MECHAI'1ISM IN A CABINET
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a cabinet, such as a file cabinet, and more particularly, to an improved vertical support used to support drawers positioned in such a cabinet.
File cabinets of the type used in office environments are commonly configured with one or more drawers. Often, such drawers are supported by a pair of slide mechanisms that are attached to the side walls of the cabinet housing.
Each slide mechanism typically is secured to a pair of vertical supports positioned along the side wall of the housing: one at the rear of the housing and another at the front of the housing. Often, in such an arrangement, the rear vertical support has a forwardly facing opening which is adapted to receive a rearwardly facing hook member disposed on a rear portion of the slide mechanism.
The front vertical support, typically configured as a channel, usually includes a surface that lies parallel to the housing side wall. Typically, this surface has a rectangular opening adapted to receive a portion of the slide mechanism. The slide mechanism typically has a forward hook member which engages the bottom edge of the opening and a lip portion that engages the top edge of the opening. When installed, the hook member and lip portion releasably secure the slide mechanism to the vertical support. Typically, the width and length of the opening are defined so that the slide mechanism is tightly secured to the support member.
To install the slide mechanism, the installer typically inserts the rear hook member into the forwardly facing opening in the rear vertical support.
The forward hook member is then positioned on the bottom edge of the opening. The installer then applies a dynamic impact force to the slide mechanism to force the hook member down over the bottom edge of the opening and to force the lip portion past the top edge of the opening. Because the opening, hook members and lip portion are intended to provide a snug fit, the impact force required to install the slide mechanism can be quite significant.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly stated, the invention is directed to an improved vertical support for supporting a slide mechanism in a cabinet. The vertical support includes a support member that has an opening adapted to receive the slide mechanism and a resilient tab member that is adapted to releasably engage the slide mechanism when disposed in the opening. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support member. comprises a channel having a base section. The opening is positioned in the base section.

The first mounting member releasably engages an edge of the opening and the second mounting member releasably engages 1 o the resilient tab member, the slide mechanism is mounted to the vertical support in the housing.
In another aspect of the invention there is provided a slide mechanism for supporting a drawer in a cabinet housing having a support with an opening defined at least by opposing edges formed in the support. The slide mechanism comprises a mounting bracket comprising a hook member extending from a side portion of the mounting bracket, and a resilient tab member comprising three sides extending from the mounting bracket adjacent the hook member in an opposite direction therefrom. The hook member extends downwardly from the side portion of the mounting bracket and the tab member extends upwardly from the side portion in an opposite direction therefrom. The side portion of the 2 o mounting bracket has an opening therein defining the three sides of the tab member.

There is also at least one slide member 2 5 adapted to support the drawer. At least one slide member is slidably connected to the mounting bracket.
In another aspect of the invention, a method is provided for assembling the support assembly which supports the sliding drawer in the cabinet.
S The method includes providing a housing, a slide mechanism that has a forward and rear portion, a rear vertical support member and a front vertical support member that has an opening and a resilient tab member extending into the opening. To assemble the support assembly, the vertical support members are attached to the housing. The rear portion of the slide mechanism is releasably secured to the rear vertical support member. The forward portion of the slide mechanism is releasably secured to the front vertical support member at the opening such that the tab member releasably engages the forward portion.
The present invention provides significant advantages over other , vertical supports and methods for installing slide mechanisms on the vertical IS supports. Most importantly, when installing the slide mechanism, the resilient tab member deflects as the forward portion of the slide mechanism is inserted into the opening. Once the forward portion is inserted in the opening, the tab member snaps back to its original position thereby releasably securing the slide mechanism to the vertical support member. Because the tab member is resilient, less force is required to install the slide mechanism. Accordingly, the installer can easily apply the insertion force with his hand, rather than by using a mechanical aid such as a rubber mallet.
Another advantage of the invention ~is that the opening can be manufactured with less demanding tolerances while maintaining a secure attachment with the slide mechanism when installed. In particular, the distance between the free end of the tab member and the opposite side of the opening does not have to be maintained with tight tolerances because the tab member can deflect if the mounting members on the slide mechanism are slightly oversized.
The present invention, together with further objects and advantages, will be best understood by reference to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DES(~RIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 show a cabinet 2 having a housing 10, a sliding drawer 4, and a slide mechanism 30. The housing 10 includes a pair of side walls 12, a back wall 14, a base i6, and a top wall 18. A
S front vertical support 50 and a rear vertical support 70 are attached to each of the side walls 12. Preferably, the housing and vertical support members are made out of sheet metal.
Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the rear vertical support 70 is preferably configured as an open channel, having a pair of flanges 74 and a pair of L-shaped side legs 72 and 73. The front side leg 72 has an opening 78 positioned in it.
A top and bottom mounting flange 76 extend outwardly .from the top and bottom of flanges 74 as shown in FIG. 11. The rear vertical support is fixedly attached to the housing by welding the mounting flanges to inwardly 1S extending flanges on the top and bottom of the side wall 12, or, in the alternative, by employing a plurality of fasteners. The flanges 74 can also be welded directly to the sidewalls.
The front vertical support member 50 is preferably configured as a channel with a pair of side legs 52, a base section 54 connecting the side legs, and a pair of flanges 56 extending perpendicularly from the side legs 52, as shown in FIGS. 3-5. The front vertical support 50 also includes mounting flanges 53 that extend outwardly from the top and bottom of the support. The base section 54 is spaced laterally inward from the side wall 12 of the housing. The front vertical support member is fixedly attached to the side wall 12 of the housing by welding or mechanically fastening the mounting flanges to top and bottom flanges on the sidewall, or by some comparable method.
Referring to FIG. 3, the base section 54 of the front vertical support member includes an opening 58 that is defined by a bottom edge 60, a top edge and a pair of side edges 64. The dimensions of the opening 58 are dictated by the corresponding dimensions of the mating portion of the slide mechanism. For example, when using a slide mechanism, Model No. TR-200-US, produced by Thomas Regout USA, Inc., the opening preferably has a width of about 0.750 inches.
A resilient tab member 66 extends downwardly from the base section 54 of the front vertical support member into the opening 58.
Preferably, the tab member 66 lies in the same plane formed by the base section, which is substantially flat as shown in FIG. 5. In a preferred embodiment, the tab member is about 0.375 inches long, although other lengths are acceptable. As shown in the FIG. 3, the distance between the bottom edge 60 of the opening and a free edge 68 of the tab member is preferably about 0.50 inches. As shown in FIG. 3, the tab member 66 preferably is formed by stamping two slots 57 in the base 54 that define the sides 59 of the tab member and form part of the opening 58.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 6-8, the slide mechanism 30 includes a mounting bracket 32, two slide members 34, and a plurality of bearings 36 interfacing between the slide members 34 and the mounting bracket 32. An acceptable commercial slide mechanism is the Model TR-200-US mechanism sold by Thomas Regout USA, Inc. In operation, the slide members 34 extend outwardly from the mounting bracket 32 as the drawer 4, which is attached to the _7_ outermost slide member, is pulled outwardly from the housing 10. The mounting bracket 32 generally has a forward portion 38, a rear portion 40, a side surface 42 and a rear hook member 44 extending outwardly and rearwardly from the side surface at the rear portion 40. The rear hook member 44 is adapted to engage the opening 78 in the front side leg 72 of the rear vertical member.
The forward portion 38 of the slide mechanism has a first and second mounting members 46, 48 that protrude from the side surface of the mounting bracket. The first mounting member 46 is preferably configured as a downwardly extending hook member, as shown in FIG. 8. The hook member 46 is spaced apart from the side surface 42 about .046 inches, which is about the thickness of the sheet metal forming the base section 54 of the front vertical support member. It should be understood that the space between the hook member 46 and side surface 42 can be altered to accommodate other thicknesses of sheet metal. The second mounting member 48 is preferably configured as a lip portion.
It should also be understood that other types of mounting members, such as a single boss protruding from the slide mechanism, would also interface with the improved vertical support member described herein.
To install the slide mechanism 30, as shown in FIG. 2, an installer first inserts the rearwardly extending rear hook member 44 into the opening 78 in the rear vertical support member, so that the first and second mounting members 46, 48 are aligned with the opening 58 in the front vertical support member.
Preferably, the rear hook member 44 includes an end portion 45 that is angled away from the side surface 42 so as to ease the insertion of the hook member WO 97!48311 PCT/US97/10390 _g_ into the opening 78. Similarly, the forward hook member 46 also preferably has an end portion 43 that is angled away from the side surface 42.
The installer slides the end portion 43 of the forward hook member 46 onto the bottom edge 60 of the opening. The installer then applies a downward and lateral force to the slide mechanism 30, forcing the forward hook member over the bottom edge of the opening while simultaneously forcing the lip portion 48 past the free edge 68 of the tab member 66 as shown in FIG. 8. Because the tab member 66 is resilient, it deflects during the insertion of the lip portion 48 and springs back to its original position once the lip portion 48 clears the free edge 68.
Because the tab member 66 deflects, less energy is required to install the slide mechanism.
Previously, the installer was required to force the iip portion past a rigid top edge that defined the opening in the base section. Because the top edge does not deflect, a greater force is required to install the slide mechanism, thereby making installation more difficult for the installer.
The improved vertical support also facilitates the removal of a worn or damaged slide mechanism. In essence, the reverse procedure is followed; the installer forces the lip portion away from the free edge of the tab member causing it to deflect. Once the lip portion disengages from the free edge, the resilient tab member snaps back to its original configuration. Thus, the force required to remove the slide mechanism is reduced as when compared to the prior art structure.
As an alternative to the aforedescribed improvement to the vertical support member, the slide mechanism can also be altered to reduce the installation force. 1n such an embodiment the vertical support member has a rectangular opening, but does not have a resilient tab member extending into the opening.
Instead, as shown in FIG. 9, an opening 80 is formed in the side surface 42 of the slide mechanism around three sides of the lip portion 48. In this way, the lip portion becomes a resilient tab member 82. Accordingly, when installing the slide mechanism, the resilient tab member 82, i.e., the lip portion having a relief cut around it, deflects as it is forced past the rigid top edge defining the opening in the vertical support member. Once the lip portion passes the top edge, the resilient tab member 82 returns to its original position, thereby releasably securing the slide mechanism to the vertical support member with a minimum of installation force.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. As such, it is intended that the foregoing detailed description be 1S regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it is the appended claims, including all equivalents thereof, which are intended to define the scope of the invention.
