Abstract
A slide assembly includes an outer slide, a blocking member mounted on the outer slide, an inner slide slidably attached to the outer slide, a sliding block slidably mounted on the inner slide, and a long bar slidably attached to an inner side of the inner slide. A groove is defined in the blocking member. The sliding block is inserted in the groove to fix the inner slide on the outer slide. A slanted protrusion extends from the long bar. When the long bar is pulled towards a first direction, the slanted protrusion pushes the sliding block. The sliding block moves towards a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to disengage the inner slide from the outer slide.
Claims20
A slide assembly, comprising:
- an outer slide;
- a blocking member mounted on the outer slide, wherein a groove is defined in the blocking member;
- an inner slide slidably attached to the outer slide;
- a sliding block slidably mounted on the inner slide, wherein the sliding block is engaged in the groove to fix the inner slide on the outer slide;
- and
- a long bar slidably attached to an inner side of the inner slide, wherein a slanted protrusion extends from the long bar;
- when the long bar is pulled towards a first direction, the slanted protrusion pushes the sliding block, and the sliding block moves towards a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to disengage the inner slide from the outer slide.
A slide assembly, comprising:
- a first slide;
- a blocking member extends from the first slide, wherein a groove is defined in the blocking member;
- and
- a second slide slidably attached to the first slide, wherein a sliding block extends from the second slide;
- the sliding block is engaged in the groove to fix the second slide on the first slide;
- a short bar is slidably attached to an inner side of the second slide;
- a slanted protrusion extending from the short bar;
- when the short bar is pulled towards a first direction at a force lower than a predetermined force, the slanted protrusion urges the sliding block, the sliding block moves towards a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to disengage the second slide from the first slide, and the second slide is retracted in the first slide;
- when the short bar is pulled at a force greater than the predetermined force, the second slide is extended from the first slide towards the first direction.
