  • Patent number: 11832411
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a node safe locking device and a server. An outer rail is disposed between two adjacent node modules. A middle rail is slidably assembled at the outer rail. Each middle rail is driven by one node module to translate in a same direction. When the middle rail moves, the linking and interlocking rod may be driven to reach different positions. When the middle rail moves outwards from the initial position together with one of the node modules, the locking guiding lean edge drives the linking and interlocking rod to move to the locking position. At this time, the blocking locking edge of the middle rail corresponding to the other node module is blocked by the linking and interlocking rod located at the locking position, and the node module may not move outwards to realize locking.

  • Publication number: 20150131929
    Abstract: Disclosed is a drawer sliding device. The drawer sliding device is configured such that when a drawer is pulled out, an intermediate rail and an inner rail are moved together. Therefore, the load support capacity of a drawer slide can be enhanced and the drawer can be smoothly pulled out. The drawer sliding device may be designed such that the intermediate rail can be extended to a position above an operating rail. In this case, the range of the operation of the automatic closing means can be increased without a reduction in the structural strength of the rail. Furthermore, in the present invention, the drawer slide is provided with the automatic closing means. Therefore, when the drawer is retracted to a predetermined range or more, the drawer can be automatically retracted to a completely closed position, and the drawer in the closed state can be prevented from being undesirably opened.

    Abstract: A drawer slide having first and second rails interconnected by a center rail. The center rail includes a spool configured to provide half-speed travel of the center rail relative to the travel of the first rail. The drawer slide is configured for use with a drawer assembly having a drawer and a chassis. The drawer assembly further includes a radius limiter secured to the center rail. The radius limiter travels at half-speed relative to the drawer. The radius limiter also automatically rotates relative to the travel of the drawer. The chassis includes sides including threaded backing plates, and mounting brackets. The mounting brackets include tri-lobed holes for receipt of a reciprocally shaped washer and a fastener for mounting the brackets to the chassis sides.

  • Publication number: 20110291539
    Abstract: In a slide assembly, an adjustable detent mechanism enables the detent and, therefore, the holding force, between a slide member on a pull-out component and an opposite slide member to be adjusted based on the application and load conditions for the pull-out component. The adjustable detent mechanism may include a base having symmetrically-disposed detent arms and associated legs which interact with respective adjuster cams symmetrically disposed on an adjustment dial. The dial is co-axial with, and is received in, the base, and both are coupled to one of the slide members. The opposite slide member has two symmetrically-disposed retention tabs that interact with respective ones of the detent arms to adjust the holding force between the slide members. The dial's range of rotation may be defined by the interaction between a pin disposed on the base and a rotation restriction guide that is defined through an undersurface of the dial.

    Abstract: A sliding mechanism includes an outer rail, an inner rail, a middle rail and a latching assembly. The middle rail has a resisting portion and is slidably mounted to the outer rail and the inner rail is slidably mounted to the middle rail. The latching assembly includes a first protrusion, a second protrusion, a third protrusion, a first roller and a second roller, a latching slot and a stopping surface. When the inner rail slides relative to the middle rail, the first protrusion resists the first roller so the middle rail sliding with the inner rail; and then the first roller slides along the third protrusion to release the first roller from the first protrusion. The second roller then slides in the latching slot until the resisting portion resists the stopping surface; and then the first roller slides along the first protrusion so the inner rail further extends relative to the middle rail.

    Abstract: A sliding mechanism includes an inner rail with a first protrusion and a second protrusion. An outer rail with a third protrusion and a stopping surface; a middle rail slidably mounted between the inner rail and the outer rail along a first direction, and having a resisting portion; a positioning member being slidably mounted on the middle rail in a second direction. The inner rail non-slidably latches with the middle rail when the inner rail slides a first predetermined distance. The resisting portion latches with the stopping surface to enable the middle rail to be non-slidably relative to outer rail after the inner rail together with the middle rail slides a second predetermined distance; and the positioning member slides relative to the second protrusion in the second direction to release the positioning member.

    Abstract: An interlocking device for a slide rail is connected with other interlocking devices through a cable. The interlocking device has a sliding block and a rotary disc disposed on a fixed base. The rotary disc is disposed thereon with a stop block. The sliding block and the stop block are connected with the rotary disc respectively by second springs to link each other. The stop block is connected with a pulley of a slide rail. The sliding block is connected with the cable so that when the slide rail slides outward, the slide rail drives the stop block, the rotary disc, and the sliding block to move synchronously. After the pulley is separated from the stop block, the cable is drawn tightly by the sliding block to lock the other interlocking devices.

    Abstract: A drawer slide with lock mechanism has an elongated outer slide member extendably coupled to an inner slide member. A latch arm or pin is fixed to the inner slide member for latching by a lock mechanism fixed to the outer slide member. The lock mechanism uses a latch receiver that rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is in a travel path of the latch arm. A lever arm rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is positionable to block rotation of the latch receiver in a locked position to retain the latch arm. A motor drives a cam to position the lever arm to free the latch receiver from the locked position.

  • Patent number: 7857403
    Abstract: A retaining mechanism for a multi-section slide track assembly includes a stop actuating assembly and a resilient retainer assembly. The stop actuating assembly is provided on an intermediate slide track of the multi-section slide track assembly while the resilient retainer assembly is provided on an outer slide track of the multi-section slide track assembly. To retain a return movement of the intermediate slide track, the stop actuating assembly is directly engaged with the resilient retainer assembly to provide a high-degree effective operation of retaining reliability. The stop actuating assembly includes a stop-engaging member and a resiliently actuating member combined therewith. The resilient retainer assembly correspondingly includes a resilient stop member which can be engaged with the stop-engaging member for positioning the intermediate slide track, and can be actuated by the resiliently actuating member for releasing the intermediate slide track.

  • Patent number: 7806595
    Abstract: A miniature linear motion guide unit can eliminate the need for additional machining on a track rail, and thus improve the accuracy of the track rail and reduce the manufacturing costs. A track rail (R) having raceway grooves (4, 5) is fixed to a mounting surface by a fixing member (A). A slider (S) straddles and moves on the track rail. The fixing member has a recessed groove (7) formed in an opposing mounting face (6) facing the mounting surface and straddling the track rail. Part of the recessed groove is in contact with the track rail when the recessed groove straddles the track rail. A mounting hole (11) is drilled in a portion of the recessed groove of the fixing member away from the track rail. A stopper member (10) such as a bolt is inserted in the mounting hole and fixed to the mounting surface.
