Abstract
A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a working member and a contact feature. The second rail and the first rail are movable relative to each other. The working member is mounted to a connecting part arranged on one of the first rail and the second rail. The contact feature is arranged on the other one of the first rail and the second rail. At least one space is defined between the working member and the connecting part. When the slide rail assembly is in a retracted state, the working member is configured to block the contact feature, in order to prevent the second rail from being moved from a predetermined position along one direction.
Claims10
A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail;
- a second rail longitudinally movable relative to the first rail;
- a working member mounted to a connecting part transversely arranged on one of the first rail and the second rail;
- and
- a contact feature arranged on the other one of the first rail and the second rail;
- wherein the connecting part has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, and a first space is defined between the working member and the first side of the connecting part, and a second space is defined between the working member and the second side of the connecting part;
- wherein during a process of the second rail being moved relative to the first rail from a first predetermined position to a second predetermined position along a first direction, the contact feature is configured to contact the working member, such that the working member is flexibly deformed through the first space, in order to allow the contact feature to cross the working member along the first direction;
- wherein during a process of the second rail being moved relative to the first rail from the second predetermined position to the first predetermined position along a second direction opposite to the first direction, the contact feature is configured to contact the working member, such that the working member is flexibly deformed through the second space, in order to allow the contact feature to cross the working member along the second direction;
- wherein the working member has different flexible deformation levels through the first space and the second space respectively.
A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail;
- a second rail movable relative to the first rail;
- a working member detachably mounted to a connecting part of the first rail, wherein the connecting part is transversely protruded from a longitudinal wall of the first rail, and the connecting part has a first side facing toward a rear end part of the first rail and a second side facing toward a front end part of the first rail;
- and
- a contact feature arranged on the second rail;
- wherein a first space is defined between the working member and the first side of the connecting part, and a second space is defined between the working member and the second side of the connecting part;
- wherein when the second rail is moved relative to the first rail along a first direction from a retracted state, the working member is configured to block the contact feature in order to prevent the second rail from being moved from a first predetermined position along the first direction;
- wherein the working member has a first flexible deformation level through the first space smaller than a second flexible deformation level through the second space.
