Abstract

A slide rail includes a first rail, a second rail, and a third rail. The first rail is slidably coupled to the second rail. The second rail is slidably coupled to the third rail. The first rail includes a pulling tab. The second rail includes a first resilient piece and a first clearance slot. The third rail includes a positioning slot. One end of the first resilient piece is fixed to the second rail, and another end of the first resilient piece extends into the first clearance slot. When the first rail slides out, the pulling tab drives the first resilient piece and the second rail to slide out. When the first resilient piece is moved to the positioning slot, the first resilient piece resiliently bends and inserts into the positioning slot, and the first resilient piece is separated from the pulling tab.

Claims (51)

1. A slide rail comprising:

a first rail;

a second rail, the first rail slidably coupled to the second rail; and

a third rail, the second rail slidably coupled to the third rail; wherein:

the first rail comprises a pulling tab;

the second rail comprises a first resilient piece and a first clearance slot;

the third rail comprises a positioning slot;

one end of the first resilient piece is fixed to the second rail, and another end of the first resilient piece extends into the first clearance slot;

when the first rail slides out, the pulling tab drives the first resilient piece and the second rail to slide out;

when the first resilient piece is moved to the positioning slot, the first resilient piece resiliently bends and inserts into the positioning slot, and the first resilient piece is separated from the pulling tab;

wherein the first rail comprises a first pushing block, the first resilient piece comprises a second pushing block, when the first rail slides in, the first pushing block abuts the second pushing block to drive the second rail to slide in.

2. The slide rail of claim 1 , wherein:

the pulling tab comprises a driving hole;

the first resilient piece comprises a protrusion;

when the protrusion inserts into the driving hole, the pulling tab pulls the first resilient piece to move; and

after the first resilient piece inserts into the positioning slot, the protrusion is separated from the driving hole.

3. The slide rail of claim 2 , wherein:

the first rail comprises a through slot; and

one end of the pulling tab is fixed to the first rail, and another end of the pulling tab inserts into the through slot.

4. The slide rail of claim 2 , wherein:

the pulling tab comprises a protrusion;

the first resilient piece comprises a driving hole;

when the protrusion inserts into the driving hole, the pulling tab pulls the first resilient member to move; and

after the first resilient piece inserts into the positioning slot, the protrusion is separated from the driving hole.

5. The slide rail of claim 3 , wherein:

the first rail comprises a first hook;

the pulling tab comprises a second hook; and

when the first hook is moved to a position above the through slot, the second hook is inserted between the through slot and the first hook.

6. The slide rail of claim 5 , wherein:

the first hook is configured to limit the second hook.

7. The slide rail of claim 3 , wherein:

when the first rail is slid out, a wall of the driving hole abuts a vertical surface of the protrusion to pull the second rail; and

when the first rail is slid in, the wall of the driving hole abuts a sloped surface of the protrusion to pass over the protrusion.

8. The slide rail of claim 1 , wherein:

the second rail comprises a second resilient piece and a second clearance slot;

the third rail comprises a limiting slot;

one end of the second resilient piece inserts into the second clearance slot;

the first resilient piece is slidably mounted on the second rail;

the first resilient piece is configured to slide under the second resilient piece to separate the second resilient piece from the second clearance slot;

after the first resilient piece slides away from the second resilient piece, the second resilient piece inserts into the limiting slot.

9. The slide rail of claim 8 , wherein:

another end of the second resilient piece is fixed to the second rail by a fixing member;

the first resilient piece comprises a sliding groove; and

the sliding groove is configured to sleeve over the fixing member.

10. The slide rail of claim 8 , wherein:

the first resilient piece comprises a first step;

the second resilient piece comprises a second step;

after the first resilient piece slides to position the first step under the second step, the first step lifts the second step, and the second resilient piece is separated from the second clearance slot.

11. The slide rail of claim 8 , wherein:

one end of the first resilient piece away from the second resilient piece inserts into the first clearance slot; and

one end of the second resilient piece away from the first resilient piece inserts into the second clearance slot.
