Sliding rail

A sliding rail adapted to be engaged with an engaging member, said sliding rail comprising:

• a track that has
• a base wall,
• two side walls extending respectively and transversely from opposite sides of said base wall, said base wall having first and second ends that are opposite to each other and that are disposed between said side walls;
• and
• two pivoting slots formed in said base wall and spaced apart from each other;
• and
• a limiting mechanism that includes
• first and second operating members movably disposed on said base wall,
• a limiting member pivotably connected to said base wall and said first and second operating members,
• a first connecting member extending through said limiting member, said first operating member and said base wall, and
• a second connecting member extending through said limiting member, said second operating member and said base wall;
• wherein said first operating member is formed with a first linking slot, said first connecting member extending movably through said first linking slot, said first linking slot having
• a first tip, and
• a first right end disposed below said first tip, a distance between said first right end and said second end of said base wall being shorter than a distance between said first tip and said second end of said base wall;
• wherein said second operating member is formed with a second linking slot, said second connecting member extending movably through said second linking slot, said second linking slot having
• a second tip, and
• a second right end disposed below said second tip, a distance between said second right end and said second end of said base wall being shorter than a distance between said second tip and said second end of said base wall;
• wherein said limiting member has a connecting portion and two pivoting portions connected respectively to opposite ends of said connecting portion, said first and second connecting members extending respectively through said pivoting portions;
• wherein said first operating member is operable for driving said limiting member to move between a locked position and a first unlocked position, and said second operating member is operable for driving said limiting member to move between the locked position and a second unlocked position;
• wherein, when said limiting member is in the locked position, said connecting portion, said pivoting portions, and one of said side walls cooperatively define a limiting space that is adapted to contain the engaging member;
• wherein, when said limiting member is in the locked position, said first operating member is movable towards said first end of said base wall to rotate said limiting member about said second connecting member to the first unlocked position by virtue of engagement between said first connecting member and said first linking slot, thereby moving said first connecting member to said first right end of said first linking slot, and opening said limiting space to allow removal of the engaging member from said limiting space;
• and
• wherein, when said limiting member is in the locked position, said second operating member is movable towards said first end of said base wall to rotate said limiting member about said first connecting member to the second unlocked position by virtue of engagement between said second connecting member and said second linking slot, thereby moving said second connecting member to said second right end of said second linking slot, and opening said limiting space to allow removal of the engaging member from said limiting space.
