Abstract

The slide-out undercarriage storage apparatus includes a storage bin or tray and a slide-out mechanism, which allows the bin or tray to be manually pulled between a retracted storage position and an extended open position. The slide-out mechanism includes a pair of fixed frame rails, a pair slide rails and three pairs of track rollers. The slide rails are nested within corresponding frame rails and supported by three track rollers, which allow the slide rails to shift longitudinally about the frame rails. Each of the frame and slide rails have a perpendicular flat flange and a V-shaped flange. One pair of track rollers are mounted to the front end of the frame rails. Two track rollers are rotatably mounted to the slide rails, one located at the back of the slide rail and at an intermediate position along the slide rail. V-shaped flanges of the frame and slide rails have slanted inner faces that provides a race for two of the track rollers. The flat flange of the frame rails provides a race for the other track rollers.
