Abstract
A glide apparatus for an assembly, such as a vehicle interior accessory, includes a first member disposed for slidable relative movement with respect to a second member. The first member has a longitudinally-extending, generally channel-shaped portion defined a base and a pair of spaced-apart legs protruding laterally outwardly from the base. A glide member preferably includes a number of serially-arranged arcuate slide portions at least partially fixed relative to a backing plate and curving laterally outwardly from the backing plate for relative slidable engagement with at least one, or both, of the legs on the channel-shaped portion of the first member. Preferably, a number of second arcuate slide portions are at least partially fixed relative to the backing plate and curve laterally outwardly from the backing plate for relative slidable engagement with the base of the channel-shaped portion of the first member. At least the second arcuate slide portions, which are adapted for slidable engagement with the base of the channel-shaped portion, are laterally resilient in order to resiliently bias the first member in a lateral direction away from the second member, and preferably have generally arcuate shaped convex protrusions positioned for engaging the channel base substantially in a 'point-contact' engagement therewith.
