TOLERANCE ADAPTIVE SLIDE CONNECTION ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A tolerance adaptive slide connection assembly for use in connecting an implement to an article of furniture is configured to provide tolerance forgiveness with respect to deviations from parallelism of slide connections between the implement and the article of furniture that may be the result of variations in the construction of the article of furniture, the implement or other connecting hardware. The tolerance adaptive slide connection assembly includes a first slide assembly having at least one fixed connection to the article of furniture and at least one fixed connection to the implement, and a second slide assembly having at least one tolerance adaptive connection between the article of furniture and the implement. The tolerance adaptive connection allows slidable movement of the implement between a closed position within the article of furniture and an open position extending outward from the article of furniture.
