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 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 assembly includes a supporting frame, a first rail, a second rail and a third rail. The first rail is movable relative to the supporting frame. The second rail is movable relative to the first rail. The third rail is movable relative to the second rail. When the slide rail assembly is at an extending state, the first rail is located at a predetermined position relative to the supporting frame, the second rail is located at an extended position relative to the first rail, the third rail is located at an opened position relative to the second rail and a rear rail section of the third rail is overlapped with a front rail section of the first rail.

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.

Abstract: A slide rail mechanism includes a first slide rail assembly, a second slide rail assembly, a third slide rail assembly and a locking member. An opening movement of a second rail of the first slide rail assembly with respect to a first rail of the first slide rail assembly drives the locking member from a first predetermined position to a second predetermined position, and an opening movement of a second rail of the second slide rail assembly with respect to a first rail of the second slide rail assembly drives the locking member from the second predetermined position to a third predetermined position. The locking member at the third predetermined position blocks the third working member for preventing an opening movement of a second rail of the third slide rail assembly with respect to a first rail of the third slide rail assembly.

Abstract: A slide rail kit includes a first rail, a second rail, an elastic member and an engaging member. The first rail is arranged with an engaging feature. The engaging member is movably mounted on the second rail. When the second rail is located at a retracted position relative to the first rail, the engaging member is configured to be engaged with the engaging feature of the first rail. When a force is applied to the engaging member to switch the engaging member from an engaging state to a disengaging state, the second rail is movable relative to the first rail from the retracted position along a predetermined direction.

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.
