Description

Slide rail mechanism

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a slide rail, and more particularly, to a slide rail mechanism with a bracket.

Background

For example, U.S. patent publication No. US 6,230,903B1 discloses a rack system. Wherein, a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket are respectively attached to the first end and the second end of a rail member (outer rail) in a sliding manner.

For example, U.S. patent publication No. US 8,028,965B2 discloses an adjustable bracket for a track assembly. Wherein a fixing seat is fixed to an outer rail, and a bracket is slidably installed in a passage of the fixing seat.

For example, U.S. patent publication No. US 9,328,769B1 discloses a bracket device of a slide rail assembly, which includes a rail member (outer rail), a first support frame, a second support frame, a third support frame and a mounting bracket. The first support frame is fixed to the rail piece, and the second support frame, the third support frame and the mounting bracket can telescopically displace relative to the first support frame. In addition, the mounting bracket can be adjusted to a first position relative to the rail member (as shown in fig. 5 of the patent) or to a second position (as shown in fig. 7 of the patent) as desired. Further, when the mounting bracket is located at the first position relative to the rail, the mounting bracket may partially cover the rail and the first support frame; however, when the mounting bracket is in the second position relative to the rail, the mounting bracket partially wraps around the rail, but does not wrap around any portion of the first support bracket.

For example, chinese patent publication No. CN 104507297B discloses a slide rail bracket, which comprises a front bracket and a rear bracket. The front bracket is fixed to a rail member (outer rail). Wherein, the rear bracket is movably sleeved in the chute of the front bracket.

For example, chinese patent publication No. CN 205378453U discloses an enhanced rail back frame structure, which includes a rail, a fixing frame and a sliding frame. Wherein, the fixed mount is fixed at the back of the rail piece, and the fixed mount is embedded in the sliding frame.

For example, chinese patent publication No. CN 205356912U discloses a slide rail bracket, which includes a rail member, a front bracket and a rear bracket. The front bracket is fixed on the rail piece and is inserted in the channel of the rear bracket.

Although the above-mentioned related patents disclose the slide rail and the bracket (or the bracket), it is a non-negligible issue how to increase the structural strength between the slide rail and the bracket as the market demands for the load capacity of the slide rail.

The difference between the sixth embodiment and the slide rail mechanism of the fifth embodiment is substantially: the first supporting portion 602 of the first bracket 600 further includes a first bending portion 604, and the first bending portion 604 and the side of the first rail portion 30a of the rail 22 can support each other; the second supporting portion 606 of the first bracket 600 further includes a second bending portion 608, and the second bending portion 608 and the side of the second rail portion 30b of the rail 22 can support each other.

According to this configuration, compared to the fifth embodiment, the first bracket 600 of the sixth embodiment can be supported by the first bending section 604 and the second bending section 608 respectively and the side edges of the first rail portion 30a and the second rail portion 30b of the rail member 22, so as to improve the supporting reliability of the rail member 22, the first bracket 600 and the reinforcing member 500, and also to enhance the structural strength of the slide rail mechanism.

From the above description, it can be seen that the enhanced efficacy and advantages of the present invention are:

a. when the first bracket 24 is adjusted to an arbitrary position (e.g., the first position P1 or the second position P2), the first bracket 24, the rail 22 and the reinforcement member 26 are in a supporting relationship with each other.

b. When the first bracket 24 is adjusted to an arbitrary position, the first supporting portion 34a of the first bracket 24 and the first rail portion 30a of the rail 22 can support each other, the second supporting portion 34b of the first bracket 24 and the second rail portion 30b of the rail 22 can support each other, and the reinforcement member 26, the longitudinal supporting portion 36 of the first bracket 24 and the longitudinal body 32 of the rail 22 support each other together. According to this configuration, it is helpful to enhance the structural strength of the slide rail mechanism.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the present specific embodiments, it will be recognized by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments are illustrative only, and various equivalent changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and therefore, it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit of the invention.
