  • Patent number: 8007060
    Abstract: A slide assembly includes an outer slide, a blocking member mounted on the outer slide, an inner slide slidably attached to the outer slide, a sliding block slidably mounted on the inner slide, and a long bar slidably attached to an inner side of the inner slide. A groove is defined in the blocking member. The sliding block is inserted in the groove to fix the inner slide on the outer slide. A slanted protrusion extends from the long bar. When the long bar is pulled towards a first direction, the slanted protrusion pushes the sliding block. The sliding block moves towards a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction to disengage the inner slide from the outer slide.

  • Patent number: 7823995
    Abstract: A slide assembly includes an outer slide (10), an intermediate slide (30) telescopically attached to the outer slide, an inner slide (90) telescopically attached to the intermediate slide, and a transmitting mechanism (31) detachably attached to the intermediate slide. The outer slide has a blocking portion (11). A fulcrum (365) is formed on the intermediate slide. The transmitting mechanism includes a driving member (35) and a post member (38). The driving member includes a driving portion (357), a lifting end (351), and a resilient member (37). The post member is connected to the lifting end of the driving member and traversed through the intermediate slide. A head portion (381) is formed on the post member and configured for engaging with the blocking portion. The resilient member is attached to the post member for urging the post member to return to an original position.

  • Publication number: 20080111382
    Abstract: A retaining mechanism for a slide assembly includes a stop member (60), a retaining member (70), and an unlatching member (80). The stop member is attached to a first slide (30) of the slide assembly. The retaining member is attached to a second slide (90) of the slide assembly. The retaining member includes a movable block (73). The block can prevent the stop member moving from a first side of the block to second side. The unlatching member is movably attached to the second slide. The unlatching member includes an engaging portion (83). When the unlatching member moves along a first direction, the engaging portion urges the block to move along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction for unblocking the stop member.
