Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems, for a modular rail slide are described herein. One or more embodiments include a modular rail slide, comprising: a first slide module comprising a first number of inserts coupled to the first slide module, and a second slide module, coupled to the first slide module, comprising a second number of inserts, and wherein the second slide module is coupled to a first coupling end of the first slide module.
Claims20
A modular rail slide, comprising:
- a first slide module comprising first inserts coupled to the first slide module and a first coupling end on a first end of the first slide module;
- and
- a second slide module comprising second inserts coupled to the second slide module, wherein a coupling end of the second slide module is in non-overlapping physical contact with the first coupling end of the first slide module to generate a complete rail slide comprising the first slide module and the second slide module and wherein no mechanical coupling is utilized to couple the first slide module to the second slide module.
A modular rail slide, comprising:
- a plurality of slide modules coupled together by a plurality of coupling ends positioned at each end of each of the plurality of slide modules to generate a complete slide rail with no mechanical coupling to couple the plurality of slide modules to each other, wherein a first slide module and a second slide module of the plurality of slide modules includes corresponding plurality of insert material embedded in a base material of the first slide module and the second slide module respectively, wherein a first distance between a first insert material of the plurality of insert material from the first slide module and a second insert material of the plurality of insert material from the second slide module is equal to a second distance between a third insert material of the plurality of insert material from the first slide module and a fourth insert material of the plurality of insert material from the first slide module, and wherein the plurality of slide modules are coupled together by non-overlapping physical contact between the plurality of coupling ends.
A modular rail slide system, comprising:
- a plurality of slide modules coupled to a rail beam of a suspension system with T-slots on a top side of the number of slide modules;
- a plurality of corresponding coupling ends of the plurality of slide modules to couple the plurality of slide modules together on the rail beam with the plurality of corresponding coupling ends to generate a complete slide rail coupled to the rail beam, wherein the plurality of corresponding coupling ends are in non-overlapping physical contact with no mechanical coupling between the plurality of corresponding coupling ends;
- and
- a U-shaped clip mechanically attached to the rail beam with an aperture of the clip positioned between an end of the rail beam and a coupling end of one of the plurality of slide modules to prevent the plurality of slide modules from being removed from the rail beam.
