  • Patent number: 7374260
    Abstract: A hidden type sliding rail assembly auto locking structure for drawer is disclosed comprised of a holder base, a slide, a coil spring member, a hook, a steel spring strip, a locking block, and an actuating block. When the outer sliding rail is moved outwards with the drawer, the actuating block pushes the steel spring strip to force the hook against the slide and to further force the locking block into a side notch and stopped at a stop edge at the holder base to prevent disconnection of the locking block, for enabling the coil spring member to return the drawer to the close position. Except the coil spring member, the holder base holds the other parts on the inside and keeps them from sight without the use of a cover, thereby saving much installation labor and time.

  • Patent number: 7244005
    Abstract: A sliding rail assembly auto locking structure for drawer is disclosed comprised of a holder base, a swivel hook, a slide, two return springs, an actuating block. When an arched block of the swivel hook is approaching a recess in the holder base for positioning, the arched block does not fall to the recess directly, and at this time, oblique guide grooves of the swivel hook are moved over associating guide blocks of the holder base to guide the arched block into the recess slowly and smoothly, and therefore the inner sliding rail of the sliding rail assembly is moved with the drawer smoothly without vibration.
