  • Patent number: 10865831
    Abstract: A slide rail includes a first rail, a second rail, a third rail, a first resilient member, a second resilient member, and a locking member. When the first rail is pulled out, the first resilient member drives the second resilient member to move along with the first resilient member to pull the second rail. When a receiving slot is aligned with a through slot, a spring piece and the locking member fall into the through slot, the spring piece separates from the first resilient member, the locking member latches onto a first step surface of the through slot to limit movement of the second rail, and the first rail continues to move.

    Abstract: An anti-binding slide is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the slide includes a bar having a pin hole adjacent the distal end of the bar. A rolling assembly includes rollers connected by a pin along a roller axis, the pin being positionable in the pin hole. A casing accepts the distal end of the bar. The rollers are positionable within tracks of the casing. The rollers, and thus the distal end of the bar, are able to move within the casing between a compressed position and an extended position. The pin hole provides a clearance fit for the pin, such that small movements of the bar do not interfere with the orientation of the roller axis with respect to the casing.

  • Patent number: 5116141
    Abstract: Apparatus for force restoration of a bearing retainer uses a loop of resilient line around a pulley at an end of the bearing retainer. One end of the loop attached to a slide and the other end is attached to a base of a positioning table. A second loop is similarly attached at the opposite end of the retainer. These loops apply equal tension to both ends of the bearing retainer as long as the bearing retainer remains in its proper position without creep. When the bearing retainer moves out of position, unequal forces are exerted by the two loops, with a resultant force in a direction necessary to return the bearing retainer to its proper position. This controls the position of the bearing retainer relative to the slide. Provision for detecting and controlling broken force restoration lines may be included. In a second embodiment, a positioning table is disposed in a non-level position wherein gravity tends to produce bearing creep in a downward direction.

  • Patent number: 4936691
    Abstract: A tableslide mechanism for use in extension tables in a manner which minies variations in guide block dimensions, while at the same time utilizing materials which have good strength characteristics and which are relatively inexpensive to manufacture. This is accomplished by providing a pair of wooden slide members, each having a lengthwise recess formed in the bearing surface thereof, and a plastic guide block for sliding engagement disposed therebetween. The guide block comprises oppositely disposed male extensions for receipt within and sliding engagement with the channels in the slide members. In this way, the coefficient of friction between the guide block and the tableslide is minimized, thus reducing friction.
