  • Patent number: 11266239
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a working member and a contact feature. The second rail and the first rail are movable relative to each other. The working member is mounted to a connecting part arranged on one of the first rail and the second rail. The contact feature is arranged on the other one of the first rail and the second rail. At least one space is defined between the working member and the connecting part. When the slide rail assembly is in a retracted state, the working member is configured to block the contact feature, in order to prevent the second rail from being moved from a predetermined position along one direction.

  • Publication number: 20220065292
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a blocking feature, and a component. The two rails can be displaced with respect to each other. The blocking feature is provided at one of the two rails, and the component at the other of the two rails. When the second rail is at a predetermined position with respect to the first rail, a blocking portion of the blocking feature and a predetermined portion of the component are blocked by each other to prevent the second rail from being displaced with respect to the first rail from the predetermined position in a predetermined direction. One of the blocking portion and the predetermined portion forms a non-vertical structure.

  • Patent number: 11259632
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a returning device and a connecting device. The returning device is arranged on the first rail and includes an elastic member and a movable member. The connecting device is arranged on the second rail and includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. During a process of the second rail being moved relative to the first rail from an extended position along a retracting direction, the second connecting member is configured to contact the movable member, in order to drive the movable member to switch from a second state to a first state. Accordingly, the second rail is configured to be driven to move to a retracted position by an elastic force of the elastic member.

  • Patent number: 11246410
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a stop, and a working member. The second rail can be displaced with respect to the first rail. The stop is disposed on the first rail. The working member is movably mounted on the second rail. When reaching a predetermined position after being displaced with respect to the first rail from an extended position in a retracting direction, the second rail is blocked by the stop via the working member and is thus prevented from being displaced from the predetermined position in an opening direction. The slide rail assembly has a shorter length when the second rail is at the predetermined position than when the second rail is at the extended position.
