1. A slide mechanism comprising:

  • a first frame;

    a pair of bearing elements each located on said first frame in opposed relation to each other and spaced apart in a direction transverse to the direction of desired sliding movement;

    a second frame having a pair of sliding rail elements each having means for slidably engaging a respective one of said pair of bearing elements to mount said second frame for sliding movement relative to said first frame;

    at least one of said bearing elements having sufficient resiliency to permit flexing between a normal condition in which said one bearing element is relatively bowed toward said other bearing element and a condition in which the one bearing element is relatively less bowed; and

    means mounting said one bearing element on said first frame in said relatively less bowed condition;

    said one bearing element including means normally urging said one bearing element to return to its normal condition, whereby said second frame is held between said bearing elements in a manner which prevents movement of the second frame in a direction transverse to the direction of sliding movement.
