A sequencing mechanism for a sequential drawer slide includes a resiliently compressible sequence control roller carried by the intermediate slide member and mutually opposing bosses on the drawer and cabinet slide members. The bosses are in the travel path of the control roller to selectively engage the control roller and compress it therebetween at the transition point to thereby smoothly sequence movement of the slide members.

A sequential drawer slide comprising: a cabinet slide member; an intermediate slide member; a drawer slide member; first anti-friction means for slidingly coupling said cabinet and intermediate slide members for linear movement; first stop means for limiting the movement of said intermediate slide member with respect to said cabinet slide member between extended and retracted positions; second anti-friction means for slidingly coupling said drawer and intermediate slide members for linear movement; second stop means for limiting the movement of said drawer slide member with respect to said intermediate slide member between extended and retracted positions; a resiliently compressible sequence control roller rotatably supported by said intermediate slide member, clearance being provided between said control roller and said cabinet and drawer slide members so that said control roller normally does not rotate thereagainst; a cabinet boss extending from said cabinet slide member to engage said control roller during relative movement of said cabinet and intermediate slide members, said cabinet boss being forward of said control roller during substantially all relative movement of said cabinet and intermediate slide members, said cabinet boss being immediately adjacent and rearward of said control roller when said intermediate slide member is in its extended position, said boss compressing said control roller when moving past said control roller; a drawer boss extending from said drawer slide member to engage said control roller during relative movement of said drawer and intermediate slide members, said drawer boss being immediately adjacent and rearward of said control roller when said drawer slide member is in its retracted position, said boss being forward of said control roller during substantially all relative movement of said drawer and intermediate slide members, said drawer boss compressing said control roller when moving past said control roller.
