Patent ID: 7410360

Claim:
A slide apparatus, comprising: a first member; a second member movable between a first position and a second position in relation to the first member, with a central position therebetween; a first slide module disposed on the first member, comprising: a first rotating structure rotatable when the second member is between the first position and the central position and not rotatable when the second member is between the central position and the second position; and a first elastic element comprising a first end fixed to the first rotating structure and a second end fixed to the first member; and a second slide module disposed on the first member, comprising: a second rotating structure not rotatable when the second member is between the first position and the central position and rotatable when the second member is between the central position and the second position; and a second elastic element comprising a third end fixed to the second rotating structure and a fourth end fixed to the first member; wherein when the second member moves from the first position to the central position in relation to the first member by a first external force, the first rotating structure rotates to generate a first torque in the first elastic element, driving the second member from the central position to the first position; and when the second member moves from the second position to the central position in relation to the first member by a second external force, the second rotating structure rotates to generate a second torque in the second elastic element, driving the second member from the central position to the second position.
