Drawer slide locking button

Abstract

A locking apparatus for use with a fastening system for a cabinet framework comprising: a head extending to a shaft, the shaft having a spring inside to provide the extension and compression of the locking apparatus. The spring of the locking apparatus extends and compresses within a cavity of a panel, allowing the locking apparatus to fasten a mount to a panel. The locking apparatus is used in conjunction with a channel lock or channel lock slot fastening system.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A locking apparatus for use with a fastening system for a cabinet framework comprising:
 a button having a head and a shank, the button located in a cavity of a panel of the cabinet framework;   a mount having at least a base, the base comprising an opening configured to interlock with the button;   an underside of the base removably attachable to at least two drawer slide channel locks;
 each drawer slide channel lock having a bottom surface and a top surface, wherein the top surface is removably attached to the underside of the base; and the bottom surface fastens to a drawer slide channel lock slot; 
   a plurality of drawer slide channel lock slots formed in the panel of the cabinet framework,
 a quantity of the drawer slide channel lock slots corresponding to each drawer slide channel lock, each of the drawer slide channel lock slots having a narrow groove transitioning to a wider groove; and 
   the cavity located adjacent to the narrow groove of at least one of the drawer slide channel lock slots.   
     
     
         2 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the button is hollow. 
     
     
         3 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the button is made of a metal material. 
     
     
         4 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the head is less than a diameter of the shank. 
     
     
         5 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the button is cylindrically shaped. 
     
     
         6 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a spring remains in the shank. 
     
     
         7 . The locking apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the spring is detachably secured to the shank. 
     
     
         8 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cavity is cylindrically shaped. 
     
     
         9 . The locking apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein a height of the cavity is substantially a height of the shank. 
     
     
         10 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the mount is a sidemount. 
     
     
         11 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the mount is an undermount. 
     
     
         12 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the opening is circularly shaped. 
     
     
         13 . The locking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the head of the button is configured for compression below a plane of the underside of the base by an application of a downward force, such that the mount is removable. 
     
     
         14 . A locking apparatus for use with a fastening system for a cabinet framework comprising:
 a hollow button comprising a head extending integrally with a shank and a spring located in the shank, the head having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the shank;   a mount having at least a base, the base of the mount comprising an opening configured for interlocking with the hollow button; and   the hollow button positioned in a cavity of a panel of the cabinet framework, wherein a height of the cavity is substantially a height of the shank.   
     
     
         15 . The locking apparatus of  claim 14 , further comprising at least two drawer slide channel locks connected to the base of the mount. 
     
     
         16 . The locking apparatus of  claim 15 , further comprising at least two drawer slide channel lock slots in the panel to join with the at least two drawer slide channel locks. 
     
     
         17 . The locking apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the mount is a sidemount. 
     
     
         18 . The locking apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the mount is an undermount. 
     
     
         19 . A locking apparatus for use with a fastening system comprising:
 a hollow button having a head and a shank; and   a spring located in the shank configured to compress and extend, and provide a lock between a mount and a panel of a cabinet framework.   
     
     
         20 . The locking apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein a diameter of the head is smaller than a diameter of the shank.
