Abstract
A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a third rail and a switching member movable between a first state and a second state. The third rail is movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail. When the second rail is moved along a predetermined direction relative to the third rail located at a predetermined position relative to the first rail, the switching member is configured to abut against a predetermined part of the third rail, in order to move the switching member to switch from the second state to the first state.
Claims19
A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail arranged with an auxiliary structure;
- a second rail;
- a third rail movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail and arranged with a predetermined part and an engaging member, the predetermined part having a first predetermined section and a second predetermined section opposite to each other;
- and
- a switching member movably mounted on the second rail and comprising a first contact part and a second contact part;
- wherein when the third rail is located at a first predetermined position relative to the first rail and the second rail is located at a second predetermined position relative to the third rail, the slide rail assembly has a first predetermined length;
- wherein during a process of the switching member being moved to switch from a first state to a second state with the second rail being moved from the second predetermined position along a retracting direction, the first contact part of the switching member in the second state and the first predetermined section of the predetermined part are configured to abut against each other, such that the second rail is configured to drive the third rail to move along the retracting direction to a third predetermined position;
- wherein when the first contact part of the switching member in the second state and the first predetermined section of the predetermined part abut against each other, the second contact part of the switching member is adjacent to the second predetermined section of the predetermined part, and the second contact part of the switching member is extended beyond the second predetermined section of the predetermined part along the retracting direction, such that the predetermined part is located between the first contact part and the second contact part of the switching member;
- wherein when the third rail is located at the third predetermined position relative to the first rail, the engaging member is configured to be engaged with the auxiliary structure in order to prevent the third rail from being moved along an opening direction, and the slide rail assembly has a second predetermined length shorter than the first predetermined length;
- wherein during a process of the second rail being moved along the opening direction relative to the third rail located at the third predetermined position, the second contact part of the switching member and the second predetermined section of the predetermined part are configured to abut against each other in order to drive the switching member to return from the second state to the first state.

A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail;
- a second rail longitudinally movable relative to the first rail;
- a third rail movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail and arranged with a predetermined part, the predetermined part having a first predetermined section and a second predetermined section opposite to each other;
- and
- a switching member movably mounted on the second rail and configured to be in one of a first state and a second state, the switching member comprising a first contact part and a second contact part;
- wherein when the switching member is in the first state, the first contact part of the switching member is not aligned with the predetermined part along a longitudinal direction of the slide rail assembly;
- when the switching member is in the second state, the first contact part of the switching member is aligned with the predetermined part along the longitudinal direction;
- wherein when the slide rail assembly is in an extended state, the third rail is located at a first predetermined position relative to the first rail, and the second rail is located at a second predetermined position relative to the third rail;
- wherein during a process of the second rail being moved from the second predetermined position along a retracting direction with the switching member being in the second state, the first contact part of the switching member in the second state and the first predetermined section of the predetermined part are configured to abut against each other, such that the second rail is configured to drive the third rail to move along the retracting direction to a third predetermined position;
- wherein when the first contact part of the switching member in the second state and the first predetermined section of the predetermined part abut against each other, the second contact part of the switching member is adjacent to the second predetermined section of the predetermined part, and the second contact part of the switching member is extended beyond the second predetermined section of the predetermined part along the retracting direction, such that the predetermined part is located between the first contact part and the second contact part of the switching member;
- wherein during a process of the second rail being moved along an opening direction relative to the third rail located at the third predetermined position, the second contact part of the switching member and the second predetermined section of the predetermined part are configured to abut against each other in order to move the switching member to switch from the second state to the first state.
