Abstract:
1. A slide assembly with an auxiliary positioning device, comprising: a first slide member; a second slide member longitudinally and slidably movable relative to the first slide member, the second slide member having a stored opening force relative to the first slide member when in a closed position; the auxiliary positioning device comprising: a positioning member pivotably connected to the first slide member, the positioning member including a pin member; a guiding base attached to the second slide member, the guiding base comprising a first passage, a first slot and a first wall, the first wall having a first guide surface facing the first passage; a second passage, a second slot and a second wall, the second wall having a second guide surface facing the second passage; a separation body having a guiding end which faces the first slot; an engaging body having an engaging surface which has a portion facing the second slot; a third passage, a third slot and a third wall, the third wall having a third guide surface facing the rest portion of the engaging surface; a fourth wall having a fourth guide surface; and a link member located corresponding to the positioning member; wherein the pin member is located in a first path in the first passage of the guiding base when the second slide member is in the closed position relative to the first slide member; wherein the pin member is guided by the first guide surface of the first wall and moves from the first path to the first slot and the pin member is located at a first position when the second slide member applies a force relative to the first slide member; wherein the pin member is guided by the guiding end of the separation body and moves from the first position to a second path in the second passage when the force is released; wherein the pin member is guided by the second guide surface of the second wall and moves away from the second path to the second slot via the second passage and the pin member is located in a second position when the second slide member is retracted relative to the first slide member; the pin member moves away from the second position to engage with the engaging surface of the engaging body and located in a third position when the second slide member is released; wherein the pin member is guided by the third guide surface of the third wall and moves from the third position into the third slot and the pin member is located in a fourth position when the second slide member further applies a force relative to the first slide member; the pin member is guided by the fourth guide surface of the fourth wall when the second slide member is released; wherein the link member pivots the positioning member by the movement of the second slide member when the second slide member moves relative to the first slide member.
