Drawer slide module structure
A drawer slide module structure is composed of an inner slide and an outer slide. The inner slide includes a latch body installed therein, and an indent and an end portion disposed at innermost positions on both sides of the inner slide. The outer slide includes a resuming base disposed at a position corresponding to the latch body of the inner slide, and a locking base installed at a rear side of the resuming base. With the design of a driving member in the resuming base swung with a link member as an axle point, the driving member and the link member will not be damaged, when the drawer is pushed back; if one of the drawers in the whole cabinet is pulled open, the locking base will latch the inner slides of other drawers, so that other drawers will not fall out freely.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a drawer slide module structure, and its slide module is comprised of an inner slide and an outer slide, such that when a plurality of slide modules are installed to the drawers of a cabinet, the drawers will not damage a driving member and a link member when the drawers are pushed back into the cabinet, or when one of the drawers is pulled open, the rest of the drawers will not fall out freely.
2. Description of the Related Art
Referring to
To overcome the existing shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of the present invention based on years of professional manufacturing experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and developments, and finally invented a drawer slide module structure in accordance with the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary objective of the present invention is to provide a drawer slide module structure, and its slide module is comprised of an inner slide and an outer slide, such that after a plurality of slide modules are installed to the drawer, a link member can be swung with respect to an axle point of a driving member of a resuming base, so as to make sure that the driving member and the link member will not be damaged when the drawer is pushed back to its original position. If one of the drawers of the whole cabinet is pulled open, a retarding member of its locking base can stop the retarding members connected to other locking bases, such that the other drawers will not slide out freely from the cabinet.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a drawer slide module structure, wherein the inner slide includes a latch body installed therein, and an indent and an end portion disposed at innermost positions on both sides of the inner slide; and the outer slide includes a resuming base disposed at a position corresponding to a latch body of the inner slide, a section of a rectangular protruding top disposed in an internal concave space of the resuming base. The rear side of the rectangular protruding top is an indent for placing a link member, and a swayable resilient plate is disposed above the indent, and the front side of the link member has a pivotal axle to be latched by a curved hook that is disposed at a lower back side of the driving member, and the front side of the curved hook is a hook to be latched with a spring module that is installed in the internal concave space of the resuming base, and the top of another driving member has an inclined plane and a groove.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a drawer slide module structure, wherein a locking base is disposed at a rear side of a resuming base, a cross groove disposed on the locking base, a sunken groove disposed in a vertical groove of the cross groove for separately installing two sets of retarding members and springs, an inclined plane disposed on a side of a transversal groove of the cross groove for disposing a curved and bent long spring, such that both upper and lower ends of the long spring presses against the lateral sides of the retarding members, and a through groove disposed on another side of the transversal groove for passing a top plate, such that the rear end of the top plate props at the curved and bent position of the long spring and the front end is limited by the distal surface of the link member of the resuming base.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawing.
Referring to
After the slide modules are installed to a cabinet, a buckle 1A1 of the latch body 1A of the outer slide 1 is latched into a groove 53 on a driving member 5 of the resuming base 3. Since the driving member 5 and the link member 4 are connected with each other, the driving member 5 drives the link member 4 to displace (as shown in
When the drawer is pushed back to its original position, the buckle 1A1 of the latch body 1A in the outer slide 1 is moved to the top of the groove 53 of the driving member 5 (as shown in
If the link members 4, 5 are pulled back to their positions by the spring module 3A due to vibrations, then when the buckle 1A1 of the latch body 1A in the outer slide 1 is pushed back to the inclined plane 54 adjacent to the groove 53 of the driving member 5 (as shown in
After the slide modules are installed separately to a plurality of drawers in a cabinet, a link rod 6C is used to connect the locking bases 6 at the back of the resuming base 3 (as shown in
In summation of the above description, the present invention herein enhances the performance than the conventional structure and further complies with the patent application requirements and thus submitted to the Patent and Trademark Office for review and granting of the commensurate patent rights.
While the invention has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims.
Claims
1. A drawer slide module structure, with its slide module comprised of an inner slide and an outer slide, characterized in that:
- said inner slide, installing a latch body, and having an indent and an end portion disposed at innermost positions on both sides in said inner slide;
- said outer slide, having a resuming base disposed at a position corresponding to said latch body of said inner slide, a locking base disposed on a rear side of said resuming base, a section of rectangular protruding top disposed in an internal concave space of said resuming base, an indent disposed at a rear side of said rectangular protruding top for receiving a link member, a swayable resilient plate disposed above said indent, a pivotal axle disposed at the front of said link member and hooked by a curved hook at the lower back side of said driving member, a hook disposed at the front of said curved hook which is latched with a spring module inside an internal concave space of the resuming base; an inclined plane and a groove disposed above another driving member; a cross groove disposed on said locking base; a sunken groove disposed in a vertical groove of said cross groove for separately installing two sets of retarding members and springs; an inclined plane disposed on a side of a transversal groove of said cross groove, for placing a bent and curved long spring and both upper and lower ends of said long spring pressing against a lateral surface of said retarding member; a through groove disposed on another side of said transversal groove, for passing a top plate, and a rear end of said top plate pressing against the bent and curved position of said long spring, and a front end of said top plate being propped and restricted by a link member on said resuming base; such that after a plurality of slide modules are installed to a cabinet, said link member is swung with respect to said link member in said resuming base by an axle point, so as to make sure that when the drawer is pushed back, said link members will not be damaged, and if one of said drawers of said cabinet is pulled open, said retarding member of said locking base retards and stops said retarding members coupled to other locking bases, and thereby other drawers will not fall out freely.
