  • Publication number: 20240068516
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a slide assisting device, an elastic member and a working member. The second rail and the first rail are movable relative to each other. The elastic member is arranged on the second rail. During a process of the second rail being moved relative to the first rail along an opening direction, the working member is configured to contact the elastic member in an initial state in order to drive the slide assisting device to move along the opening direction to a predetermined position. When the slide assisting device is located at the predetermined position, the elastic member releases an elastic force through a predetermined space of the first rail, such that the elastic member is no longer in the initial state with the working member no longer contacting the elastic member.

  • Publication number: 20230399872
    Abstract: A lock device adapted for a first object and a second object movable relative to the first object includes a slider, a driving module, a latch and a power module. The driving module can drive the slider to move between a locking position and an unlocking position. The latch is movable relative to the slider. The power module can provide electricity to the driving module. When the second object is located at a retracted position relative to the first object, the driving module can drive the slider to move to the locking position, so that the latch blocks the second object. When the driving module is not driven by the power module, the latch is driven by the second object moving in an opening direction to move from an original state to a non-original state for driving the slider to move from the locking position to the unlocking position.
