  • Patent number: 11266239
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a working member and a contact feature. The second rail and the first rail are movable relative to each other. The working member is mounted to a connecting part arranged on one of the first rail and the second rail. The contact feature is arranged on the other one of the first rail and the second rail. At least one space is defined between the working member and the connecting part. When the slide rail assembly is in a retracted state, the working member is configured to block the contact feature, in order to prevent the second rail from being moved from a predetermined position along one direction.

  • Patent number: 11259632
    Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a returning device and a connecting device. The returning device is arranged on the first rail and includes an elastic member and a movable member. The connecting device is arranged on the second rail and includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. During a process of the second rail being moved relative to the first rail from an extended position along a retracting direction, the second connecting member is configured to contact the movable member, in order to drive the movable member to switch from a second state to a first state. Accordingly, the second rail is configured to be driven to move to a retracted position by an elastic force of the elastic member.

  • Patent number: 9364089
    Abstract: A self-closing slide rail assembly with a deceleration mechanism includes first and second rails and a self-closing mechanism, in addition to the deceleration mechanism. The self-closing mechanism is mounted to the first rail and includes an elastic member for providing an elastic force in a first direction. The deceleration mechanism includes a deceleration spring for providing an elastic force in an opposite second direction. When the second rail is displaced from an extended position toward a retracted position relative to the first rail, the self-closing mechanism automatically drives the second rail toward the retracted position due to the elastic force applied by the elastic member. Meanwhile, the elastic force of the deceleration spring serves as a deceleration force, allowing the second rail to move slowly to the retracted position.

  • Patent number: 8561262
    Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a housing, an arm and at least one spring. A damping device includes a damper having a piston rod, a maintaining member secured in the housing and an adjustment member. The adjustment member is movably connected to the maintaining member and has a protruded portion located corresponding to the piston rod of the damper. When the adjustment member is moved to a first position relative to the maintaining member, the protruded portion of the adjustment member is located toward the piston rod of the damper, so that the piston rod contacts the protruded portion and retracts to perform damping function. When the adjustment member is moved to a second position relative to the maintaining member, the protruded portion of the adjustment member is moved away from the piston rod of the damper, and no damping function is available.

  • Patent number: 8496306
    Abstract: The opening mechanism includes a fixing member, a movable member, a locking member, a first resilient member and a second resilient member. The fixing member is fixed to a first rail and has a guide portion, a stop and a room. The movable member is movably connected to the fixing member and has a first leg, a second leg and an engaging portion. The first leg slidably contacts the guide portion and the second leg extends into the room. The locking member is pivotably connected to a second rail and includes a locking portion.
