Abstract

See full text

A friction controlled mechanism for use on a cabinet assembly is provided. The cabinet assembly includes a stationary structure such as a cabinet, a moveable structure such as a drawer that is moveable in relation to the stationary structure and the friction controlled mechanism. The friction controlled mechanism is attached to each side of the moveable structure. The friction controlled mechanism includes a frame member with a length and a friction based flexible member. The flexible member is wrapped around a perimeter of the frame member such that the flexible member is capable of traveling in opposite directions around the perimeter of the frame member during movement of the moveable structure toward and away from the stationary structure. The flexible member imparts a friction to side rails of both the stationary structure and the moveable structure to provide a controlled stable movement of the moveable structure.
