Patent ID: 8475047

Claim:
A sliding mechanism, comprising: a first plate; a second plate disposed over said first plate, and comprising a sliding slot and a guiding part; a fixing structure having a perforation, wherein said fixing structure is penetrated through said sliding slot of said second plate; and a sliding member disposed over said second plate, and comprising a sliding piece and an elastic element, wherein said sliding piece has a recess for accommodating said elastic element, a first end of said sliding piece is sustained against said guiding part of said second plate, and a second end of said sliding piece is penetrated through said perforation of said fixing structure, wherein when said second plate is slid with respect to said first plate for a first predetermined distance, said sliding piece is guided by said guiding part to be slid in a first direction of said fixing structure, so that said elastic element generates elastic potential energy, wherein when said second plate is slid with respect to said first plate for a second predetermined distance, said sliding piece is guided by said guiding part to be slid in a second direction of said fixing structure, so that said elastic element releases said elastic potential energy to have said second plate automatically slide with respect to said first plate.
