Slide assist device

A slide assist device, comprising:

• a draw-in unit including:
• a case adapted to attach to one of a main body or a mobile body,
• a slider slidably placed on the case,
• a latch pivotally supported in the slider and capable of switching between a standby position in which the latch is locked in a corresponding portion of the case and a draw-in position in which the latch is released from the case,
• a resistance-imparting portion provided on a sliding-and-contacting surface of the slider or the latch in which the sliding-contacting surface is a surface between the latch and the slider, and acting as a resistance or a friction force when the latch is turned as a supporting point of a pivot portion relative to the slider, and
• an urging device connected to the slider and arranged to accumulate an urging force thereof;
• and
• an actuating member adapted to attach to the other of the main body or the mobile body, and arranged to be able to engage with the latch so that the latch is switched from the standby position to the draw-in position, or to be able to disengage from the latch so that the latch is switched from the draw-in position to the standby position,
• wherein when the latch is switched from the standby position to the draw-in position, the urging force accumulated in the urging device moves the mobile body from a first position on a main body side to a second position through the actuating member, and
• the resistance-imparting portion has a concave-convex shape in which a convex portion of the resistance-imparting portion is positioned in the middle of a rotating direction of the pivot portion, and in which a concave portion is disposed on the opposite side of the convex portion.

• a piston braking device comprising a structural member, for damping a moving speed by an urging force of the mobile body,
• a fixing ring as a temporary fixing member arranged in the slider or the case to temporarily fix the structural member of the braking device, and
• an attachment member to be attached to the slider or the case to firmly fix the structural member of the braking device to the slider or the case,
• wherein when the latch is switched from the standby position to the draw-in position, the urging force accumulated in the urging device moves the mobile body from a first position on a main body side to a second position through the actuating member, and
• the draw-in unit includes a connecting portion to hold the attachment member, and the fixing ring is disposed inside the connecting portion, so that the fixing ring is arranged to temporarily fix the structural member of the braking device to the draw-in unit and the attachment member is placed over the connecting portion to firmly fix the structural member and engage with the connecting portion.
