Abstract
A slide assembly includes a first rail, a second rail and at least one positioning device. The first rail has a first elongate body. The second rail is slidable relative to the first rail and has a second elongate body. At least one of the first elongate body and the second elongate body has an opening. The at least one positioning device has a support member and a dowel. The support member has a fixing portion and a resilient arm connected to the fixing portion. The fixing portion is fixed to the at least one of the first elongate body and the second elongate body. The dowel is disposed on the resilient arm and corresponds in position to the opening.
Claims4
A slide assembly comprising:
- a first rail having a first elongate body with an inner side;
- a second rail having a second elongate body with an inner side, the first and second rails being coupled in longitudinally slidable manner with the inner sides of the first and second rails opposing one another, wherein at least one of the first and second elongate bodies has a body opening formed therein;
- and
- at least one positioning device having a support member and a dowel, the support member defining a fixing portion fixed to the at least one of the first and second elongate bodies, and a resilient arm having a bent portion extending from the fixing portion with the resilient arm having a resilient arm opening through which a fixing member passes, said resilient arm terminating at a free end to remain transversely deflectable, the bent portion being received in said body opening to engage an inner wall thereof when the resilient arm is moved in response to a force applied thereon, the dowel being disposed on the resilient arm of the support member in transverse alignment and coupled to said fixing member to extend transversely away from an outer surface of the at least one of the first and second elongate bodies wherein said fixing member transversely extends through the resilient arm of the support member and is securely fixed to the dowel.
