Abstract

A slide assembly for mounting an electronic device includes an inner slide, a fastening member mounted on the electronic device and a locking member with a distal end slidably mounted on the inner slide. A receiving slot is defined in the locking member. A mounting slice extends horizontally from the receiving slot toward the distal end of the locking member. The fastening member abuts the mounting slice to make the locking member elastically deform. The fastening member slides into the receiving slot. When the locking member elastically returns, the fastening member is restricted in the receiving slot by the mounting slice.

Claims (26)

1. A slide assembly for mounting an electronic device, comprising:

an inner slide;

a fastening member mounted on the electronic device; and

a locking member with a distal end slidably mounted on the inner slide; a receiving slot is defined in the locking member; a mounting slice extends horizontally from the receiving slot toward the distal end of the locking member; wherein the fastening member abuts the mounting slice to elastically deform the locking member; the fastening member slides into the receiving slot; and when the locking member elastically returns, the fastening member is restricted in the receiving slot by the mounting slice.

2. The slide assembly of claim 1 , wherein a locating slot is defined in the inner slide corresponding to the fastening member; and the fastening member passes through the locating slot to mount in the receiving slot.

3. The slide assembly of claim 1 , wherein the locking member comprises a locking slice; a rod-shaped first sliding slot is defined in a first distal end of the locking slice adjacent to the receiving slot; a column-shaped first guiding portion is formed on the inner slide corresponding to the first sliding slot; and the first guiding portion slides in the first sliding slot when the fastening member abuts the mounting slice.

4. The slide assembly of claim 3 , wherein a circular mounting slot is defined in a second distal end of the locking slice; a column-shaped mounting portion is formed on the inner slide corresponding to the mounting slot; and the mounting portion passes through the mounting slot to mount the second distal end of the locking slice on the inner slide.

5. The slide assembly of claim 4 , wherein a width of the first sliding slot is equal to a first dimension of the first guiding portion; and a second dimension of the mounting slot is equal to a third dimension of the mounting portion.

6. The slide assembly of claim 4 , wherein an elastic slice is formed between the receiving slot and the mounting slot; and the elastic slice elastically deforms when the fastening member abuts the mounting slice.

7. The slide assembly of claim 6 , wherein a rod-shaped connecting slot is defined in the elastic slice; and a width of the elastic slice is less than a width of the first distal end and a width of the second distal end of the locking slice.

8. The slide assembly of claim 6 , wherein a rod-shaped second sliding slot is defined in the locking slice between the receiving slot and the elastic slice; a column-shaped second guiding portion is formed on the inner slide corresponding to the second sliding slot; and the second guiding portion slides in the second sliding slot when the fastening member abuts the mounting slice.

9. The slide assembly of claim 8 , wherein an outer side of the mounting slice is arc-shaped; an arc-shaped protrusion portion is formed on an inner side of the mounting slice; and the fastening member abuts the protrusion portion when the fastening member is being restricted in the receiving slot.

10. The slide assembly of claim 9 , wherein the fastening member is circular; and a radius of the fastening member is equal to a length of the protrusion portion in a horizontal direction.

11. A slide assembly, comprising:

an inner slide;

an electronic device comprising a fastening member mounted thereon; and

a locking member with a distal end slidably mounted on the inner slide; a receiving slot is defined in the locking member; a mounting slice extends horizontally from the receiving slot toward the distal end of the locking member; wherein the fastening member abuts the mounting slice to elastically deform the locking member; the fastening member slides into the receiving slot; and when the locking member elastically returns, the fastening member is restricted in the receiving slot by the mounting slice.

12. The slide assembly of claim 11 , wherein a locating slot is defined in the inner slide corresponding to the fastening member; and the fastening member passes through the locating slot to mount in the receiving slot.

13. The slide assembly of claim 11 , wherein the locking member comprises a locking slice; a rod-shaped first sliding slot is defined in a first distal end of the locking slice adjacent to the receiving slot; a column-shaped first guiding portion is formed on the inner slide corresponding to the first sliding slot; and the first guiding portion slides in the first sliding slot when the fastening member abuts the mounting slice.

14. The slide assembly of claim 13 , wherein a circular mounting slot is defined in a second distal end of the locking slice; a column-shaped mounting portion is formed on the inner slide corresponding to the mounting slot; and the mounting portion passes through the mounting slot to mount the second distal end of the locking slice on the inner slide.

15. The slide assembly of claim 14 , wherein a width of the first sliding slot is equal to a first dimension of the first guiding portion; and a second dimension of the mounting slot is equal to a third dimension of the mounting portion.

16. The slide assembly of claim 14 , wherein an elastic slice is formed between the receiving slot and the mounting slot; and the elastic slice elastically deforms when the fastening member abuts the mounting slice.

17. The slide assembly of claim 16 , wherein a rod-shaped connecting slot is defined in the elastic slice; and a width of the elastic slice is less than a width of the first distal end and a width of the second distal end of the locking slice.

18. The slide assembly of claim 16 , wherein a rod-shaped second sliding slot is defined in the locking slice between the receiving slot and the elastic slice; a column-shaped second guiding portion is formed on the inner slide corresponding to the second sliding slot; and the second guiding portion slides in the second sliding slot when the fastening member abuts the mounting slice.

19. The slide assembly of claim 18 , wherein an outer side of the mounting slice is arc-shaped; an arc-shaped protrusion portion is formed on an inner side of the mounting slice; and the fastening member abuts the protrusion portion when the fastening member is being restricted in the receiving slot.

20. The slide assembly of claim 19 , wherein the fastening member is circular; and a radius of the fastening member is equal to a length of the protrusion portion in a horizontal direction.
