SLIDE ASSEMBLY WITH DUAL HANDED BALL RETAINER LATCH

摘要

A slide assembly has a gravity biased latch arm on a slide member with a head having opposing barbs each insertable into a respective one of opposing cutouts in a bearing retainer of the slide assembly to provide a bearing retainer function. The latch arm and the cutouts in the bearing retainer are positioned such that the latch head may enter a cutout when an inner slide member is removed from the slide member. The use of dual barbs and opposing cutouts allows for unhanded operation of the bearing retainer function.
