Abstract:
1. A slide assembly comprising: a stationary rail having a rail trough; a sliding rail slidably connected to said stationary rail, the sliding rail including a guiding member having a first inclined plane and a protuberance; a sliding member slidably disposed in said rail trough of said stationary rail; a fixing base secured at one end of said stationary rail; a first resilient member connected between said sliding member and said fixing base; a retainer disposed in said stationary rail, said retainer including a recess and a second inclined plane adjacent to said recess; a second resilient member fixed relative to said stationary rail; and an engaging plate movably connected to said sliding member, said engaging plate including an engaging rod corresponding in position to said second resilient member; wherein said engaging rod of said engaging plate is urged by said second resilient member to engage said protuberance of said guiding member when said sliding rail is in a first predetermined position with respect to said stationary rail; wherein said engaging rod of said engaging plate detaches from said second resilient member and moves along said second inclined plane of said retainer into said recess of said retainer when said sliding rail moves from said first predetermined position to a second predetermined position with respect to said stationary rail, said engaging rod having thereby disengaged from said protuberance of said guiding member; wherein said first inclined plane of said guiding member engages said engaging rod and urges said engaging rod to disengage from said recess of said retainer to engage said protuberance of said guiding member when said sliding rail moves from said second predetermined position toward said first predetermined position relative to said stationary rail, so that said sliding rail is urged by said first resilient members to retreat back into said stationary rail.
