Abstract
A slide rail assembly includes a rail kit. The rail kit includes a rail, a blocking member, and an operating member. The rail has an extension hole. The blocking member is movably disposed on the rail. The operating member is disposed on the rail, can be operated in order to drive the blocking member, and includes an operating portion corresponding to a portion of the extension hole of the rail.
Claims15
A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail provided with a blocking portion;
- a second rail displaceable with respect to the first rail from a retracted position to an extended position, wherein the second rail has an extension hole;
- a blocking member movably disposed on the second rail;
- and
- an operating member having an operating portion configured to be operated to change from a first state to a second state in order for the operating member to drive the blocking member and thereby bring the blocking member from a first state to a second state, wherein the operating portion corresponds to a first portion of the extension hole of the second rail, the operating member exposing a second portion of the extension hole in both the first state and the second state of the operating portion;
- wherein when the second rail reaches the extended position after displacement with respect to the first rail and the blocking member is in the first state, a blocking relationship is established between the blocking member and the blocking portion of the first rail;
- wherein when the second rail reaches the extended position after displacement with respect to the first rail but the blocking member is in the second state, the blocking relationship between the blocking member and the blocking portion of the first rail is not established.

A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail having a first upper wall, a first lower wall, and a first sidewall connected between the first upper wall and the first lower wall, wherein the first upper wall, the first lower wall, and the first sidewall jointly define a channel, and a blocking portion is disposed on the first sidewall;
- a second rail movably mounted in the channel of the first rail, wherein the second rail has a second upper wall, a second lower wall, and a second sidewall connected between the second upper wall and the second lower wall, and the second sidewall has a first extension hole;
- a first blocking member movably disposed on the second sidewall of the second rail and corresponding to the blocking portion of the first rail;
- and
- a first operating member configured to be displaced from a first position to a second position and thereby drive the first blocking member, wherein the first operating member is disposed on the second sidewall of the second rail, the first operating member includes a first operating portion, the first operating portion corresponds to a first portion of the first extension hole of the second rail, and the first operating member exposes a second portion of the first extension hole in both the first position and the second position;
- wherein the second portion of the first extension hole of the second rail allows insertion therethrough by an operator's finger to operate the first operating portion and thereby displace the first operating member from the first position to the second position.

- a first rail having a first upper wall, a first lower wall, and a first sidewall connected between the first upper wall and the first lower wall, wherein the first upper wall, the first lower wall, and the first sidewall jointly define a channel, and a blocking portion is disposed on the first sidewall;
- a second rail movably mounted in the channel of the first rail, wherein the second rail has a second upper wall, a second lower wall, and a second sidewall connected between the second upper wall and the second lower wall, and the second sidewall has a first extension hole;
- a first blocking member movably disposed on the second sidewall of the second rail and corresponding to the blocking portion of the first rail;
- a first operating member configured to be operated and thereby drive the first blocking member, wherein the first operating member is disposed on the second sidewall of the second rail, the first operating member includes a first operating portion, and the first operating portion corresponds to a portion of the first extension hole of the second rail;
- a second blocking member movably disposed on the second sidewall of the second rail, a second elastic member for applying an elastic force to the second blocking member;
- and
- a second operating member configured to be operated and thereby drive the second blocking member, wherein the second operating member has a second actuating portion corresponding to the second blocking member, and the first blocking member and the second blocking member define a space therebetween for receiving the blocking portion of the first rail,
- wherein the first extension hole of the second rail allows insertion by an operator's finger so that the first operating portion is able to be operated with ease in order to displace the first operating member.
