  • Patent number: 11641940
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a blocking member, a positioning member, and an operating member, configured to operate one of the blocking member and the positioning member. The first rail includes a positioning feature; the second rail is movable relative to the first rail. The blocking member and the positioning member are movably mounted on the second rail, and are respectively at one of the first state and the second state. When the second rail is moved in an extending direction from a retracted position to an extending position relative to the first rail, the second rail is prevented from being moved in the extending direction or a retracting direction from the second extending position relatively to the first rail, through the positioning member and the blocking member respectively corresponding to two portions of the positioning feature of the first rail.

  • Patent number: 11641939
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly and a slide rail kit are provided. The slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a blocking member, and an operating member. The blocking member is movably mounted on the second rail. When the second rail is positioned at an extending position relative to the first rail, a blocking feature of the first rail blocks the blocking member at a first state, so as to prevent the second rail from being moved from the extending position in a retracting direction. The operating member is operated to be positioned at a position that moves the blocking member from the first state to a second state, such that the blocking feature is unable to block the blocking member at the second state. The operating member is engaged with the predetermined portion of the second rail to be retained at the position.
