When thesecond slide member 20 reaches to its closed position with respect to thefirst slide member 10, the engagingportion 42 of the engagingmember 40 is extended through thesecond hole 84 b, and is urged by theresilient member 70 to return to its original position, therefore, the engagingsurface 44 of the engagingmember 40 is in touched with the surrounding surface of thesecond hole 84 b. - To release the locked position, as shown in
FIG. 7 , a user may use the operatingmember 60 to deflect the engagingmember 40 which brings the engagingportion 42 to deflect and detach from thesecond hole 84 b, thus thesecond slide member 20 may be pulled away from thefirst slide member 10. -
FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially similar to the first preferred embodiment with the exception described hereinafter. This embodiment comprises a plurality of frames, a plurality of slide assembles 2, a plurality of engagingassemblies 4, and at least onechassis 86. - The plurality of frames is composed of a
first frame 82 a, asecond frame 82 b, athird frame 82 c and afourth frame 82 d to form a configuration of two pairs offrames frames rack 80 in a predetermined shape such as a square. - The
first bracket 30 and thesecond bracket 30 a of eachslide assembly 2 are mounted to the pair offrames rack 80 in a level status. - Each engaging
assembly 4 comprises aresilient member 70 and an engagingmember 40 which is urged by theresilient member 70 to restore its original position, thus the engagingmember 40 may remain a locked position in the hole of therack 80. - The
chassis 86 has two sides connected with theslide assemblies 2, respectively, and is linked to move simultaneously. In this embodiment, the chassis may be a computer server or an electronic device. Therefore, thechassis 86 is able to slide inward or outward with respect to therack 80. - The present invention does not restraint either the type or model of the chassis, nor the handle on the chassis. It also provides a locking function when the chassis is pushed into the rack. The bracket connected to the slide assembly doesn't need adding any parts for engagement of the engaging member.
