  • Publication number: 20250089891
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly is provided and includes a first rail, a second rail, a blocking feature, an engaging member and an operating member. The second rail is displaceable relative to the first rail along a longitudinal direction. The blocking feature is arranged on the first rail. When the second rail is located at a predetermined position relative to the first rail, the blocking feature blocks the engaging member for preventing a displacement of the second rail from the predetermined position along a first direction. The operating member is configured to drive the engaging member, such that the engaging member is not blocked by the blocking feature for allowing the displacement of the second rail from the predetermined position along the first direction.

  • Patent number: 12232614
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a slide assisting device, an elastic member and a working member. The second rail and the first rail are movable relative to each other. The elastic member is arranged on the second rail. During a process of the second rail being moved relative to the first rail along an opening direction, the working member is configured to contact the elastic member in an initial state in order to drive the slide assisting device to move along the opening direction to a predetermined position. When the slide assisting device is located at the predetermined position, the elastic member releases an elastic force through a predetermined space of the first rail, such that the elastic member is no longer in the initial state with the working member no longer contacting the elastic member.

  • Publication number: 20250043819
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, an auxiliary member, a blocking member and an operating member. The auxiliary member is arranged on the second rail. The blocking member is pivotally connected to the second rail. When the second rail is located at an extended position relative to the first rail, a blocking feature on the first rail blocks the blocking member in a first state for preventing the second rail from displacing away from the extended position along a retracting direction. When the operating member moves from a first operating position to a second operating position to drive the blocking member to move to a second state, the blocking feature does not block the blocking member in the second state, and the operating member engages with a predetermined portion of the auxiliary member to retain the operating member at the second operating position.

  • Patent number: 12209433
    Abstract: A lock device adapted for a first object and a second object movable relative to the first object includes a slider, a driving module, a latch and a power module. The driving module can drive the slider to move between a locking position and an unlocking position. The latch is movable relative to the slider. The power module can provide electricity to the driving module. When the second object is located at a retracted position relative to the first object, the driving module can drive the slider to move to the locking position, so that the latch blocks the second object. When the driving module is not driven by the power module, the latch is driven by the second object moving in an opening direction to move from an original state to a non-original state for driving the slider to move from the locking position to the unlocking position.
