Abstract

A bracket positioning structure for a slide includes a bracket having an end plate at one end and a fastening seat close to the end plate. The fastening seat is pivotally connected with a connecting element. The connecting element comprises an arm having at least one tooth and an end piece urged by an elastic element to swing to an angle and to return to its original position. When studs on the end plate of the bracket are inserted into holes of a support, the arm of the connecting element swings to one side with the tooth sliding along the edge of the support. The tooth hooks the support and is secured thereat.
