Abstract
A cabinet and a slide rail kit thereof are disclosed. The cabinet includes an equipment body and a slide rail mechanism. The equipment body includes a first wall and a second wall. One of the first wall and the second wall is provided with a guiding path. The guiding path includes a blocking feature. The slide rail mechanism includes a supporting rail and a stop. The stop can be moved with respect to the supporting rail. When at a particular position, the stop can be blocked by the blocking feature of the guiding path to prevent the supporting rail from being displaced with respect to the equipment body from a predetermined position in a certain direction.
Claims17
A cabinet, comprising:
- an equipment body including a first wall and a second wall, wherein one of the first wall and the second wall is provided with a first guiding path, and the first guiding path has a front end, a rear end, and a blocking feature between the front end and the rear end, the blocking feature having a first side and a second side;
- and
- a first slide rail mechanism including a supporting rail, first and second stop portions, and a stop,
- wherein the stop is configured to be operated and thus moved with respect to the supporting rail;
- wherein the stop, when at a first position, is able to be blocked at the first side of the blocking feature of the first guiding path in order to prevent the supporting rail from displacement with respect to the equipment body from a first predetermined position in an opening direction,
- wherein the stop, when at a second position, is unable to be blocked by the blocking feature of the first guiding path and thus allows the supporting rail to be displaced with respect to the equipment body from the first predetermined position in the opening direction,
- wherein the first stop portion is blocked at the second side of the blocking feature of the first guiding path in order to prevent the supporting rail from displacement with respect to the equipment body from the first predetermined position in a retracting direction, and
- wherein, when the supporting rail reaches a second predetermined position after displacement with respect to the equipment body from the first predetermined position in the opening direction, the second stop portion is blocked at the first side of the blocking feature of the first guiding path in order to prevent the supporting rail from displacement with respect to the equipment body from the second predetermined position in the opening direction.
A slide rail kit, comprising:
- a supporting rail;
- a bracket connected to the supporting rail and including a first stop portion, a second stop portion, and a stop between the first stop portion and the second stop portion;
- and
- an operating member connected to the stop and configured to be operated in order to operate the stop and thereby displace the stop from a first position to a second position;
- wherein the stop is substantially on a same horizontal plane as the first stop portion and the second stop portion when at the first position;
- wherein the stop is not on the same horizontal plane as the first stop portion and the second stop portion when at the second position.
