Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, and an auxiliary member. The first rail includes a passage, and the passage includes a passage opening. The second rail is inserts in the passage from the passage opening through being guided by the auxiliary member.

Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a slide-facilitating device, and a working member. The second rail is movably mounted in a channel of, and is displaceable with respect to, the first rail. The slide-facilitating device is movably mounted between the rails and includes an engaging feature. The working member is provided on the first rail and includes a main body portion, an elastic portion for supporting the main body portion, and a predetermined portion connected to the main body portion. The first rail includes a supporting portion for supporting the elastic portion of the working member. The engaging feature is engaged with the predetermined portion of the working member when the slide-facilitating device is at a predetermined position.

Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a slide-facilitating device, and a retaining member. The second rail is movably mounted in a channel of, and is longitudinally displaceable with respect to, the first rail. The slide-facilitating device is movably mounted between the rails and includes an engaging feature. The retaining member is provided on the first rail and includes an elastic portion with a predetermined feature. The first rail includes a limiting feature for preventing deformation of the elastic portion. When the second rail is moved out of the channel after displacement in an opening direction with respect to the first rail, the slide-facilitating device is at a predetermined position, with the engaging feature engaged with the predetermined feature.

Abstract: A slide rail mechanism is configured to be mounted to a first post and a second post of a rack. A transverse space is defined between the first post and the second post. The slide rail mechanism includes a first slide rail kit and a second slide rail kit. Each of the slide rail kits includes a fixed rail and a movable rail longitudinally movable relative to the fixed rail. The two fixed rails are respectively connected to the two posts, and are located outside the transverse space. Each of the fixed rails is formed with a passage corresponding to inside of the transverse space. Each of the movable rail is configured to be movably mounted to the passage.

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.

Abstract: A slide rail assembly is provided and includes a first rail, a second rail movable with respect to the first rail, a working member, an operating member and a blocking member. When the second rail is located at an extended position with respect to the first rail and the working member is in a first state, the working member and a blocking feature of the first rail block each other for restraining the second rail from moving toward a first predetermined direction from the extended position. The blocking member is switchable between a blocking state and a non-blocking state for restraining the operating member from driving the working member to disengage from the first state or for allowing the operating member to drive the working member from the first state to a second state. Besides, a related slide rail kit is also provided.

Abstract: A production line includes a number of production units, production equipments and a sliding bracket. The sliding bracket slides between the production units. Each production unit includes at least one base unit which is made in series. The at least one base unit has an enclosure. The sliding bracket and the production equipment are received in the enclosure. The production units are arranged in a configuration such as straight line, U-shaped or rectangular.

Abstract: An exemplary hot-melting method includes the following steps. A hot-melting machine (20) is provided. The hot-melting machine includes a rotatable worktable (23), a heater (25), at least one cooler (26), and a plurality of carriers located on the worktable and being uniformly spaced apart. A first workpiece loaded on a first one of the carriers is cooled using the at least one cooler. Simultaneously, a second workpiece loaded on a second one of the carriers is heated using the heater.

Abstract: An exemplary hot-melting machine (20) includes a worktable (23), a number of carriers (24), a heater (25), at least one cooler (26), and a controller (28). The carriers are located on the worktable and are uniformly spaced apart. Each carrier is configured for holding a workpiece. The heater is configured for heating the workpiece. The cooler is configured for cooling the workpiece. The controller is configured for driving the worktable to rotate, the heater to move down toward and up away from a corresponding one of the carriers, and the at least one cooler to move down toward and up away from another corresponding one of the carriers. At each of successive stages in operation of the hot-melting machine, one of the carriers is aligned with the heater, another one the carriers is aligned with the at least one cooler, and a further one of the carriers is positioned such that a workpiece can be unloaded from the further one of the carriers and another workpiece can be loaded on the further one of the carriers.
