Abstract
A slide rail assembly to be mounted to a first post and a second post of a rack is provided. The two posts define an accommodation space therebetween. The slide rail assembly is mounted between the first post and the second post by two brackets and includes a transverse width. A portion of the transverse width is arranged within the accommodation space so as to provide more space and thereby facilitate the mounting of an object to the rack.
Claims13
A slide rail assembly adapted to be mounted to a first post and a second post, wherein the first post and the second post are positioned to define an accommodation space therebetween, the slide rail assembly comprising:
- a first rail mounted to the first post and the second post via a first bracket and a second bracket respectively, the first rail thereby being located between the first post and the second post, the first rail including a longitudinal wall, an upper wall, and a lower wall, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are connected to two corresponding sides of the longitudinal wall of the first rail respectively;
- wherein at least a portion of the longitudinal wall is arranged within the accommodation space, and the longitudinal wall, the upper wall, and the lower wall jointly define a longitudinal channel;
- a second rail longitudinally and movably connected to the first rail and located in the longitudinal channel of the first rail;
- at least a first pair of support members mounted between the first rail and the second rail, the second rail including a longitudinal wall, an upper wall, and a lower wall, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are connected to two corresponding sides of the longitudinal wall respectively, and the first pair of support members support the upper wall and the lower wall of a section of the second rail respectively when the second rail is displaced relative to the first rail;
- and
- a pair of pressing portions provided at the upper wall and the lower wall of the second rail respectively, wherein the pair of pressing portions drive the first pair of support members when the second rail is displaced relative to the first rail in an extension direction from a retracted position.
A slide rail assembly applicable to an object to be supported, wherein the object is to be mounted to a rack by a pair of said slide rail assemblies, the rack includes two pairs of posts, the two pairs of posts define a transverse width therebetween, each said pair of posts includes a first post and a second post substantially corresponding in position to the first post, each said second post and each said first post have a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and an accommodation space is defined by each said pair of posts as a longitudinal extension between the two first sides and a longitudinal extension between the two second sides, each said slide rail assembly comprising:
- a first rail mounted to the first post and the second post of a corresponding said pair of posts via a first bracket and a second bracket respectively, the first rail thereby being located between the first post and the second post;
- a second rail longitudinally and movably connected to the first rail;
- the second rail including a longitudinal wall, an upper wall, and a lower wall, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are connected to two corresponding sides of the longitudinal wall respectively,
- at least a pair of support members mounted between the first rail and the second rail, wherein the pair of support members support the upper wall and the lower wall of a section of the second rail respectively when the second rail is displaced relative to the first rail;
- a pair of pressing portions provided at the upper wall and the lower wall of the second rail respectively, wherein the pair of pressing portions drive the pair of support members when the second rail is displaced relative to the first rail in an extension direction from a retracted position;
- and
- a third rail longitudinally and movably connected to the second rail and configured to be mounted with the object;
- wherein each said slide rail assembly includes a transverse width, and a portion of the transverse width of each said slide rail assembly is arranged within the accommodation space defined by the corresponding pair of posts.
A slide rail assembly, comprising:
- a first rail including a longitudinal wall, an upper wall, and a lower wall, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are connected to two corresponding sides of the longitudinal wall of the first rail respectively, and the longitudinal wall, the upper wall, and the lower wall jointly define a longitudinal channel;
- a second rail longitudinally and movably connected to the first rail and located in the longitudinal channel of the first rail, the second rail including a longitudinal wall, an upper wall, and a lower wall, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are connected to two corresponding sides of the longitudinal wall of the second rail respectively;
- at least a first pair of support members mounted between the first rail and the second rail;
- wherein when the second rail is displaced relative to the first rail, the first pair of support members are displaced along with the second rail and support the upper wall and the lower wall of a section of the second rail;
- and
- a pair of pressing portions provided at the upper wall and the lower wall of the second rail respectively, wherein the pair of pressing portions drive the first pair of support members when the second rail is displaced relative to the first rail in an extension direction from a retracted position.
