Abstract
A slide rail assembly includes two slide rails. During a process of a first one of the two slide rails being moved relative to a second one of the two slide rails along a predetermined direction, a first predetermined feature and a second predetermined feature are configured to contact each other to provide resistance in order to stop or slow down the relative movement between the two slide rails.
Claims13
A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail arranged with a blocking feature;
- a second rail;
- a third rail movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail;
- and
- an auxiliary member movably mounted on the third rail, the auxiliary member being movable between a first state and a second state;
- wherein the second rail is arranged with a first predetermined feature, and the third rail is arranged with a second predetermined feature;
- wherein when the third rail is located at a predetermined position relative to the first rail and when the auxiliary member is in the first state, the blocking feature is configured to block the auxiliary member in order to prevent the third rail from being moved from the predetermined position along a predetermined direction;
- wherein during a process of the second rail being moved a predetermined distance along the predetermined direction relative to the third rail located at the predetermined position, the first predetermined feature and the second predetermined feature are configured to contact each other in order to slow down movement of the second rail along the predetermined direction relative to the third rail;
- wherein one of the first predetermined feature and the second predetermined feature has a first guiding surface;
- wherein during the process of the second rail being moved the predetermined distance along the predetermined direction relative to the third rail located at the predetermined position, the first predetermined feature and the second predetermined feature are configured to contact each other through the first guiding surface in order to slow down the movement of the second rail along the predetermined direction relative to the third rail;
- wherein during a process of the second rail being further moved along the predetermined direction relative to the third rail located at the predetermined position, the first predetermined feature and the second predetermined feature are configured to contact each other in order to provide resistance to the second rail due to friction until the first predetermined feature crosses over the second predetermined feature.
