Abstract
Several slide rail locks for use with a slide rail assembly for an extendable table are disclosed, each including a clamping mechanism to prevent the slide rails from sliding in a clamping position and allow the slide rails to slide in a released position. A distinctive slide rail assembly is also disclosed which uses rollers to facilitate smooth extension and retraction of the rails, and with which one of the slide rail locks is used.
