Patent ID: 8428668

Claim:
A sliding mechanism, comprising: a main plate; a sliding plate defining two guiding grooves arranged along a first line; a sliding enabling member coupled between the sliding plate and the main plate so the sliding plate slidably engages with the main plate; and a biasing assembly coupled between the sliding plate and the main plate, the biasing assembly including a guiding member and two biasing members slidably resisting the guiding member, each of the two biasing members received and sliding in each of the two guiding grooves, wherein when the sliding plate is slid from a closed position to an intermediate position along a direction of a second line perpendicular to the first line, the biasing members are distorted along the guiding grooves by the guiding member to exert a force on the sliding plate and the main plate causing the sliding plate to automatically slide toward an open position once the sliding plate passes the intermediate position; wherein the guiding member protrudes from the main plate and includes two opposite surfaces which each have a peak that resists against a corresponding biasing member, each biasing member includes a retaining portion formed on one end thereof and a resisting portion formed on another end thereof; the retaining portions are respectively mounted to the sliding plate, each of the resisting portions slidably resisting against one of the arcuate surfaces of the guiding member; and wherein the sliding plate further defines two retaining holes, each of the two retaining portions is respectively mounted in one of the two retaining holes by a rivet.
