Safety device for a slide track retainer

Abstract

A slide track assembly comprises an outer slide track, a medium slide track, an inner slide track and a retainer. The outer slide track includes a protrusion; the medium slide track is adapted to mount the retainer which includes an elastic plate, a safety protrusion and an unlatching member. When the inner slide track is initially retracted into the medium slide track, an end of the inner slide track is engaged with the safety protrusion of the retaining member. Thereby, a temporary safety space is formed between the inner slide track and the medium slide track such that fingers are able to remove from the inner slide track in time. Before the inner slide track is completely retracted into the medium slide track, the protrusion of the outer slide track may push the unlatching member to disengage the safety protrusion from the end of the inner slide track.
