Claim:
A multi-section slide assembly, comprising: an outer slide comprising a web and two arms respectively extending from two lateral edges of the web, a locking tab formed on the web; an intermediate slide received between the arms of the outer slide and being movable relative to the outer slide in a back-and-forth direction, the intermediate slide comprising a web and two arms respectively extending from two lateral edges of the web thereof, the web of the intermediate slide defining two receiving slots and at least one slit; an actuating member mounted to the web of the intermediate member and forming two arms, two arrises protruding downward from the arms of the actuating member respectively and extending through the corresponding receiving slots of the intermediate slide to prevent the actuating member from moving along the intermediate slide in left-and-right direction; a positioning member comprising a fixed end portion fixed to the intermediate slide and a free end portion being movable relative to the intermediate slide in an up-and-down direction perpendicular to the web of the intermediate slide, the free end portion pressing on a driving portion of the actuating member adjacent the arrises, the positioning member comprising at least one positioning tab extending from the free end portion through the at least one slit and abutting against the locking tab of the outer slide to prevent the intermediate slide from sliding inward in the back-and-forth direction; and an inner slide receivable and movable in the arms of the intermediate slide, the inner slide comprising a web and two arms respectively extending from two lateral edges of the web thereof, the inner slide capable of being slid relative to the intermediate slide inward to press the arms of the actuating member to allow the driving portion of the actuating member lifting the positioning member to thereby disengage the at least one positioning tab of the positioning member from the locking tab of the outer slide.
