  • Patent number: 10610015
    Abstract: A slide rail device with an unlocking structure for a middle slide rail includes an outer slide rail mounted on a fixing member, and an inner slide rail mounted on a side wall of a movable member. The inner slide rail is coupled to the outer slide rail to enable a middle slide rail to be disposed between the outer slide rail and the inner slide rail. A ball bearing unit is disposed between the middle slide rail and the inner slide rail. A releasing element is movably disposed on the middle slide rail and arranged between the ball bearing unit and the elastic locking element. When the inner slide rail and the movable member are removed from the slide rail device, the releasing element is pushed by the ball bearing unit and pushes an elastic locking element to unlock the middle slide rail.

  • Patent number: 9986829
    Abstract: An undermount drawer slide mounting clip releasably attaches a drawer to a drawer rail assembly mounted in a cabinet carcass. The apparatus is capable of effecting positional adjustments of the drawer in three directions without removing the drawer from the cabinet carcass. The apparatus is comprised of a body slidingly engaged with a bonnet. A trigger pivotally connected between the body and the bonnet. A spring loaded catch slidable within the bonnet and acted on by the trigger to releasably attach the apparatus to a drawer rail assembly. A threaded spindle rotates within the base and adjusts the horizontal position of the drawer. A ramp adjustably connected to the base adjusts the vertical position of the drawer. A plunger extends from a housing connected to the body to adjacent the drawer rail assembly and adjusts the depth of the drawer.
