Abstract:
A telescoping slide assembly having at least a first slide segment and a second slide segment. Desirably, each of the first and second slide segments include one or more solid bearing surfaces and are in contact with one another along at least a portion of the bearing surfaces. Preferably, the bearing surfaces are curved and the contact between the slide segments occurs along a lateral distance, which is less than one-half of the distance of the smaller bearing surface. In one arrangement, the slide assembly includes a third slide segment telescopingly engaged with one of the first or second slide segments.
