Abstract: A self-moving mechanism, a slide incorporating the same and a method of self-moving a slide are provided. A slide incorporating a self-moving mechanism is a self-moving slide and includes a first slide member slideably coupled to a second slide member. A self-moving mechanism is coupled to the second slide member. A slot having a first longitudinal portion and a second transverse portion is formed on a housing of the mechanism. A slider having an actuator is guided within the slot and slides along the housing and couples with the first slide member for moving the first slide member relative to the second slide member.

Abstract: A damper including a first fluid conduit in fluid communication with a second fluid conduit via a regulator, a first movable member disposed within the first fluid conduit, a second movable member disposed within the second fluid conduit, and a fluid residing between the first and second movable members. The regulator may include one or more orifices each having a valve disposed therein, wherein the valves are moveable between a seated position and an unseated position with respect to the orifices and are spring biased toward the unseated position. The damper may be spring biased such that when it is mounted on a stationary rail of a drawer slide, and engages with a movable rail of the drawer slide, it urges the drawer slide toward a closed position and dampens the closing motion of the drawer slide.

Abstract: Self-moving mechanisms, slides incorporating such mechanisms, i.e., self-moving slides and methods of self-moving slides are provided. An exemplary embodiment self-moving slide includes a first slide member and a second slide member slideably coupled to the first slide member. A self-moving mechanism is coupled to the second slide member for self-moving the first slide member relative to the second slide member. A dampener is included dampening the movement of the first slide member relative to the second slide member.
