In a slide assembly, an adjustable detent mechanism enables the detent and, therefore, the holding force, between a slide member on a pull-out component and an opposite slide member to be adjusted based on the application and load conditions for the pull-out component. The adjustable detent mechanism may include a base having symmetrically-disposed detent arms and associated legs which interact with respective adjuster cams symmetrically disposed on an adjustment dial. The dial is co-axial with, and is received in, the base, and both are coupled to one of the slide members. The opposite slide member has two symmetrically-disposed retention tabs that interact with respective ones of the detent arms to adjust the holding force between the slide members. The dial's range of rotation may be defined by the interaction between a pin disposed on the base and a rotation restriction guide that is defined through an undersurface of the dial. |
