Abstract

A slide rail unit includes: an outer rail; a middle rail housed in the outer rail, being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the outer rail; an inner rail housed in the middle rail, being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the middle rail; and a lever disposed between the outer rail and the middle rail, being slidable in the longitudinal direction of the outer rail. The lever includes a lever projecting portion configured to lock a slide of the middle rail when the lever is drawn out by a predetermined distance.

Claims (28)

1. A slide rail unit comprising:

an outer rail;

a middle rail housed in the outer rail, being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the outer rail;

an inner rail housed in the middle rail, being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the middle rail; and

a lever disposed between the outer rail and the middle rail, being slidable in the longitudinal direction of the outer rail,

wherein the lever includes a lever projecting portion configured to lock sliding of the middle rail when the lever is drawn out by a predetermined distance,

the middle rail has a locking hole,

the lever projecting portion of the lever drawn out by the predetermined distance is configured to lock sliding of the middle rail as being caught on the locking hole,

the inner rail has an inner rail projecting portion which is to be caught on the locking hole, and

the inner rail being configured to slide together with the middle rail as the inner rail projecting portion is caught on the locking hole until the lever is drawn out by the predetermined distance.

2. The slide rail unit according to claim 1 , wherein the lever projecting portion caught on the locking hole is disengaged from the locking hole when the lever is pushed back.

3. The slide rail unit according to claim 2 , wherein the inner rail slides independently as the lever projecting portion of the lever drawn out by the predetermined distance, instead of the inner rail projecting portion, is caught on the locking hole.

4. The slide rail unit according to claim 3 , wherein the lever projecting portion is a leading end of a lock clamp having a rear end fixed to the lever.

5. The slide rail unit according to claim 2 , wherein the lever projecting portion is a leading end of a lock clamp having a rear end fixed to the lever.

6. The slide rail unit according to claim 5 , wherein the lock clamp is rotatable with respect to the lever.

7. The slide rail unit according to claim 1 , wherein the inner rail slides independently as the lever projecting portion of the lever drawn out by the predetermined distance, instead of the inner rail projecting portion, is caught on the locking hole.

8. The slide rail unit according to claim 7 , wherein the lever projecting portion is a leading end of a lock clamp having a rear end fixed to the lever.

9. The slide rail unit according to claim 1 , wherein the lever projecting portion is a leading end of a lock clamp having a rear end fixed to the lever.

10. The slide rail unit according to claim 9 , wherein the lock clamp is rotatable with respect to the lever.

11. The slide rail unit according to claim 9 , wherein the lock clamp is connected to the lever by a spring.

12. A slide rail unit comprising:

an outer rail;

a middle rail housed in the outer rail, being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the outer rail;

an inner rail housed in the middle rail, being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the middle rail; and

a lever disposed between the outer rail and the middle rail, being slidable in the longitudinal direction of the outer rail, wherein

the lever includes a lever projecting portion configured to lock sliding of the middle rail when the lever is drawn out by a predetermined distance, and

the lever projecting portion of the lever drawn out by the predetermined distance is configured to lock sliding of the middle rail as being caught on a leading end of the middle rail.

13. The slide rail unit according to claim 12 , wherein the lever is a leaf spring.
