Abstract:
1. A positioning mechanism for a quick release device of a slide assembly, comprising: a longitudinally extended rail having an opening formed through the rail and defining a first contact portion including a sidewall of the opening, the first contact portion located adjacent to the opening, the opening having an open portion and a reception portion which communicates with the open portion, and a positioning member having a base, a resilient arm, a restriction portion and a second contact portion, the positioning member being fixed to the rail by the base and located corresponding to the opening, the resilient arm being connected between the base and the restriction portion, wherein the resilient arm is transversely movable from the rail to change position of the restriction portion, the restriction portion has a first contact end located corresponding to the open portion, the second contact portion is connected to the restriction portion, a substantially enclosed area is defined between the first contact end and the reception portion, and the second contact portion protrudes into the opening for capture therein, the second contact portion abutting with the sidewall of the opening to longitudinally bear against the first contact portion of the rail, such that when an impact is applied to the positioning member longitudinally from an installation member disposed in the reception portion, the second and first contact portions receive and redistribute the impact to the rail to substantially inhibit longitudinal movement of the positioning member relative to the rail.
