  • Controller for a quick disconnect slide assembly
    Patent number: 7178888
    Abstract: A slide assembly includes an inner slide segment, an intermediate slide segment, and an outer slide segment. A bearing assembly is provided between the inner slide segment and the intermediate slide segment. Preferably, a lock arm extends from the outer slide segment and is engageable with an engagement surface of the intermediate slide segment to limit movement of the intermediate slide segment with respect to the outer slide segment. A latch is associated with the intermediate slide segment and comprises a locking portion. The locking portion is selectively engageable with the bearing assembly to limit movement of the bearing assembly.
    Type: Grant

  • Controller for a quick disconnect slide assembly
    Patent number: 6820954
    Abstract: A slide assembly including a first slide segment, a second slide segment, and a third slide segment. A bearing assembly is provided between the second slide segment and the third slide segment. A lock arm extends from the third slide segment and is engageable with an engagement surface of the second slide segment to limit movement of the third slide segment with respect to the second slide segment. A controller is associated with the second slide segment and comprises a locking portion and an actuator portion. The locking portion extends through an opening in a side wall of the second slide segment towards the bearing retainer. The locking portion is selectively engageable with the bearing retainer to limit movement of the bearing assembly. The actuator extends through an opening in a side wall of the second slide segment between the first slide segment and the lock arm to actuate the lock arm and thereby disengage it from the engagement surface when the slide assembly is retracted.
