An improved slide arrangement for mounting between the bottom edge of a drawer and the drawer support. The bearing member formed of sheet material having a coefficient of friction less than 0.25 and having a plurality of bearing sockets. The bearing sockets formed by molding, drilling or perforating the bearing member. A laser can also be used to carve the bearing sockets. A roller or ball bearing is inserted into each socket molded or carved to a preselected size and shape thereby holding the bearing in place. A bearing is placed within each drilled or perforated socket and each socket edge is punched to form a flange around the edge of each socket thereby holding the bearing in place. A reinforcing member formed of sheet material having a coefficient of friction less than 0.25 can be applied to the longitudinal edge of the drawer to present a resilient working edge with a low coefficient of friction to the ball or roller bearings.

A slide arrangement that rests upon a support for a drawer or the like comprising: an elongated bearing member having a pair of opposed surfaces, the bearing member formed of sheet material having a coefficient of friction of less than 0.25 being fixedly mounted by the first of the opposed surfaces

A slide arrangement that rests upon a support for a drawer or the like comprising: an elongated bearing member having a pair of opposed surfaces, the bearing member formed of sheet material having a coefficient of friction of less than 0.25 being fixedly mounted by the first of the opposed surfaces to the support for the drawer; first walls forming a plurality of ball receiving sockets in general alignment along the length of and accessible through the second of the opposed surfaces; and balls engaged within the ball receiving sockets, the balls disposed to support the bottom longitudinal edge of the drawer a preselected distance from the bearing member.
