Disclosed are two drawer slide assemblies incorporating first and second latching systems, respectivley. The first latching system comprises first and second latching mechanisms disposed upon three telescopically slidable members. The second latching system comprises first and third latching mechanisms disposed upon three telescopically slidable members and an additional fourth latching mechanism when an optional additional (fourth) slide member is added. A drawer slide roller device is also disclosed. Such drawer slide roller device may be disposed upon one telescopically slidable drawer slide member to facilitate smooth and quiet slidable movement thereof within an adjacent slide member.

A drawer slide assembly comprising: at least first, second, and third slide members having proximal and distal longitudinal ends, said second and third slide members having internally formed elongated channels extending between said proximal and distal ends; said second slide member being longitudinally slidably disposed within the elongated channel of the third slide member so as to be movable between an “unextended”position wherein the second slide member is fully disposed within the elongate channel of the third slide member and an “extended”position wherein a portion of the second slide member extends beyond the distal end of the third slide member; said first slide member being longitudinally slidably disposed within the elongated channel of the second slide member so as to be movable between an “unextended”position wherein said first slide member is fully disposed within the elongated channel of the second slide member and an “extended”position wherein a portion of the first slide member extends beyond the distal end of the second slide member; a first latching mechanism operative to releasably lock said second slide member in fixed longitudinal position relative to said third slide member, said first latching mechanism comprising: a first latching member positioned on said second slide member; a first aperture extending through said third slide member and alignable with at least a portion of said first latching member upon slidable movement of said second slide member relative to said first slide member; said first latching member being spring biased to cause a portion of said first latching member to extend into said first aperture upon said slidable alignment thereof and to thereby hold said second slide member in fixed longitudinal position relative to said third slide member; and a second latching mechanism operative to releasably lock said first slide member in fixed longitudinal position relative to said second slide member, said second latching mechanism comprising: a second latching member positioned on said first slide member; a second aperture extending through said second slide member and alignable with at least a portion of said second latching member upon slidable movement of said first slide member within the elongated channel of said second slide member; said second latching member being biased to urge at least said portion of said first latching member into said second aperture when said aperture becomes slidably aligned therewith and to thereby hold said first slide member in fixed longitudinal position relative to said second slide member.
