Abstract

A bracket mechanism includes a connecting wall and a mounting device. The mounting device and the connecting wall are movable relative to each other to be in a locking state or an unlocking state. The mounting device includes at least one mounting member. When the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the locking state, the at least one mounting member is adjacent to the connecting wall to be closed relative to each other. When the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state, the at least one mounting member is away from the connecting wall to be opened relative to each other.

Claims (36)

1. A bracket mechanism, comprising:

a connecting wall; and

a mounting device, wherein the mounting device and the connecting wall are movable relative to each other to be in one of a locking state and an unlocking state;

wherein the mounting device comprises at least one mounting member configured to be mounted to a post;

wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the locking state, the at least one mounting member is adjacent to the connecting wall to be closed relative to each other;

wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state, the at least one mounting member is away from the connecting wall to be opened relative to each other;

wherein the connecting wall and the mounting device are pivoted relative to each other;

wherein the connecting wall has a longitudinal length, and the bracket mechanism further comprises a pivot shaft the pivot shaft is arranged in a direction substantially identical to a direction of the longitudinal length; the connecting wall and the mounting device are pivoted relative to each other through the pivot shaft.

2. The bracket mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the mounting device further comprises an end wall, the at least one mounting member is arranged on the end wall, and the end wall is pivotally connected to the connecting wall through the pivot shaft.

3. The bracket mechanism of claim 2 , wherein the mounting device further comprises an extension wall substantially perpendicularly connected to the end wall, and the extension wall and the connecting wall are respectively arranged with a first structure and a second structure associated to each other; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the locking state, the first structure and the second structure are connected to each other; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state, the first structure and the second structure are not connected to each other.

4. The bracket mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the connecting wall and/or the mounting device has a limiting feature; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state relative to each other, the mounting device and the connecting wall are held in the unlocking state through the limiting feature.

5. The bracket mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the connecting wall is arranged with a fastening member; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the locking state, the fastening member is adjacent to the at least one mounting member; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state, the fastening member is away from the at least one mounting member.

6. A bracket mechanism, comprising:

a connecting wall having a longitudinal length;

a mounting device comprising at least one mounting member; and

a pivot shaft arranged in a direction substantially identical to a direction of the longitudinal length;

wherein the connecting wall and the mounting device are pivoted relative to each other through the pivot shaft;

wherein the mounting device further comprises an end wall, the at least one mounting member is arranged on the end wall, and the end wall is pivotally connected to the connecting wall through the pivot shaft;

wherein the mounting device further comprises an extension wall substantially perpendicularly connected to the end wall, and the extension wall and the connecting wall are respectively arranged with a first structure and a second structure associated to each other; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are rotated relative to each other to be closed, the first structure and the second structure are connected to each other; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are rotated relative to each other to be opened, the first structure and the second structure are not connected to each other.

7. The bracket mechanism of claim 6 , wherein the connecting wall is arranged on a slide rail.

8. The bracket mechanism of claim 6 , wherein the connecting wall or the mounting device is arranged with a fastening member configured to mount the bracket mechanism to a target object.

9. A slide rail assembly, comprising:

a first rail;

a first bracket mechanism arranged adjacent to a first end part of the first rail; and

a second bracket mechanism arranged adjacent to a second end part of the first rail away from the first end part;

wherein the first bracket mechanism is longitudinally movable relative to the first rail through an extension rail;

wherein the first bracket mechanism comprises:

a connecting wall arranged on the extension rail; and

a mounting device, wherein the mounting device and the connecting wall are movable relative to each other to be in one of a locking state and an unlocking state;

wherein the connecting wall and the mounting device are pivoted relative to each other;

wherein the connecting wall has a longitudinal length, and the first bracket mechanism further comprises a pivot shaft the pivot shaft is arranged in a direction substantially identical to a direction of the longitudinal length; the connecting wall and the mounting device are pivoted relative to each other through the pivot shaft.

10. The slide rail assembly of claim 9 , wherein the mounting device comprises an end wall and at least one mounting member arranged on the end wall, and the end wall is pivotally connected to the connecting wall through the pivot shaft.

11. The slide rail assembly of claim 10 , wherein the mounting device further comprises an extension wall substantially perpendicularly connected to the end wall, and the extension wall and the connecting wall are respectively arranged with a first structure and a second structure associated to each other; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the locking state, the first structure and the second structure are connected to each other; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state, the first structure and the second structure are not connected to each other.

12. The slide rail assembly of claim 9 , wherein the connecting wall and/or the mounting device has a limiting feature; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state relative to each other, the mounting device and the connecting wall are held in the unlocking state through the limiting feature.

13. The slide rail assembly of claim 9 , wherein the connecting wall or the mounting device is arranged with a fastening member; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the locking state, the fastening member is adjacent to the other one of the connecting wall and the mounting device; wherein when the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state, the fastening member is away from the other one of the connecting wall and the mounting device.

14. The slide rail assembly of claim 10 , wherein the at least one mounting member of the first bracket mechanism is configured to mount the first rail to a first post, and the second bracket mechanism comprises at least one connecting member configured to mount the first rail to a second post; the slide rail assembly further comprises a second rail longitudinally movable relative to the first rail, and the second rail and the extension rail are respectively located at two sides of the first rail.
