Description

  The present invention does not completely move a moving side member such as a drawer portion such as furniture connected to a slide rail, a slide shelf such as a display shelf, etc., from a drawer state (slide fully open state) to a storage position (final storage position). However, when it is moved to a predetermined position, it is automatically drawn into the fixed member such as the furniture body, and prevents the movable member from being inadvertently ejected from the fixed member during transportation, earthquake, etc. A slide rail with a pull-in function not only prevents the slide speed from abruptly increasing at the start of pull-in, but also slowly pulls in from the pull-in start position to the pull-in end position, and applies the pull-out force from the pull-in end position. The present invention relates to a reduction gear in a slide rail having a retracting function that has little influence.

A conventional reduction gear provided on a slide rail with a pull-in function that uses a self-returning cylinder damper makes the sliding movement (linear movement) of the moving member act directly on the self-returning cylinder damper. In this case, the slide rail is decelerated from the retracting start position to the retracting end position.
For this reason, a cylinder-type damper with the same stroke as the distance from the pull-in start position to the pull-in end position is required. As the pull-in distance increases, a longer cylinder type damper is required, and the cylinder type damper that occupies the slide rail. Since the occupancy rate of the slide rails increased, the original travel distance of the slide rail was limited.

The speed reducer is installed in parallel with the slide rail and the sliding line of the moving member, while the retracting device moves the energy obtained by pulling the tension spring from the retracting start position to the retracting end position. Since the slide rail is retracted by releasing the spring, the spring energy decreases as the retract end position is approached.
And even near this final position, the deceleration resistance by the cylinder damper or gear reducer does not change, so in order to obtain a retraction force that overcomes this deceleration resistance, the retraction force at the retraction start position is set strongly (the spring tension force is set strongly) It was necessary to do).
For this reason, when pulling out the moving side member from the slide rail retracting end position, a force greater than the strongly set retracting force is required, which hinders smooth sliding of the slide rail.

Japanese Patent No. 3709153

  An object of the present invention is to provide a slide rail speed reducing device having a retracting function, which can be configured compactly with a simple structure, can be manufactured at low cost with a smooth sliding force.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention is configured as a first means, in a slide rail having a retracting function, a self-returning cylinder damper provided on the fixed member or the moving member, It is provided on the same member side as the cylinder type damper, and consists of an operating body that acts on the cylinder type damper.When the moving side member reaches the retracted position, the operating body rotates to push in the piston shaft of the cylinder type damper. When the moving member is pulled out from the retracted end position and passes the predetermined position, it returns to the initial posture, and the rotation of the operating body is determined from the dimension from the pivot point of the operating body to the position of the operating body acting on the cylinder damper. Large dimension from the moving fulcrum to the location where the operating member of the moving member or fixed member rotates Are those constant.

Next, the present invention is configured as a second means, in a slide rail having a retracting function, a self-returning cylinder damper provided on the fixed member or the moving member, and the same member side as the cylinder damper. It is composed of an operating body that acts on the cylinder type damper, and when the moving side member reaches the retracted position, the operating body rotates to push the piston shaft of the cylinder type damper, and the moving side member is in a predetermined position. Until the moving member reaches the retracting end position, the stopped state is maintained until the moving member is pulled from the retracting end position to the predetermined position. If the rotation angle is maintained and it passes through a predetermined position, it will return to the initial posture, and the rotation fulcrum of the operating body Than the dimensions of the to a point of an operator acting on the cylinder type damper, in which the dimensions up to which rotates the movable member or the operation of the fixed-side member from the pivot point of the operating body is set to be larger.

Next, the present invention is configured as a third means, in a slide rail having a retracting function, a self-returning cylinder damper provided at a rear end portion of the fixed member, and a rear end of the fixed member. When the moving member reaches the retracted position, the operating member rotates to push the piston shaft of the cylinder damper by the rear end of the moving member. Rotating a predetermined angle stops the rotational movement over the rear end of the moving member, maintains the stopped state until the moving member reaches the retracting end position, and the moving member is pulled out of the retracting end position. Thus, after the rear end of the moving member reaches a predetermined position, the moving member returns to the initial state and operates from the rotation fulcrum of the operating body to the cylinder damper. Than the dimensions of the to a point of the body, in which the dimensions up to which rotates the movable member or the operation of the fixed-side member from the pivot point of the operating body is set to be larger.

Next, the present invention is configured as a fourth means, in a slide rail having a retracting function, a self-returning cylinder damper provided at the front end of the moving member and a rotation fulcrum. It consists of an operating body provided at the front end of the movable member so that it can move freely.The operating body is linked to the cylinder damper on the cylinder damper side of the pivot point, and on the other side, when the movable member reaches the retracted position, Rotate to push the piston shaft of the cylinder damper with the front end of the fixed side member, and when it rotates by a predetermined angle, it moves over the rear end of the fixed side member and stops, and the stopped state moves. The side member is maintained until it reaches the retracting end position, and the front end of the moving member remains in the specified position even if the moving member is pulled out of the retracting end position. The rotation angle at the retracting end position is maintained until it reaches, and then it can be freely rotated to return to the initial state. From the dimension from the rotation fulcrum of the operating body to the position of the operating body acting on the cylinder type damper, The dimension from the rotation fulcrum of the operating body to the position where the operating body of the movable member or the fixed member is rotated is set large.

Without causing the moving member's sliding movement to act directly on the self-returning cylinder damper, the operating body can be rotated to push the piston shaft of the cylinder damper as the moving member is retracted. The dimension from the pivot point of the operating body to the position of the operating body acting on the cylinder damper is set larger than the dimension from the pivot point of the operating body to the position where the operating member of the moving member or fixed member is rotated. Therefore, tentatively, the dimension from the pivot point of the operating body to the position of the operating body that acts to push the piston shaft of the cylinder damper, and from the pivot point of the operating body to the moving member or the fixed side If the ratio of the dimension of the member to the position where the operating body is rotated is 1: 2, the deceleration distance of the moving member is 2 with respect to the piston displacement of the cylinder damper. Since the stroke of the shift can be one, it is possible to shorten the length of the cylinder type damper relative deceleration distance of the movable member.
That is, since a small cylinder type damper can be employed, it is inexpensive, the speed reducer can be manufactured in a compact manner, and can also be built in and attached to the slide rail.

On the other hand, the self-returning type cinder type damper has a spring for self-resetting (with the piston shaft fully extended) (having a restoring force). It is necessary to set the strength to exceed the return force. If the retracting force is set to be strong, when the moving member is pulled out from the retracting end position, a force greater than the strongly set retracting force is required.
In general, a small cylinder damper has a small return force, so it is not necessary to set the pull-in force particularly strongly corresponding to the return force. Therefore, the pull-out member can be smoothly pulled out from the pull-in end position. This makes it possible to improve the operability of the drawer.

Furthermore, since the operating body can be rotated so as to push in the piston shaft of the cylinder damper, the dimension from the pivot point of the operating body to the position of the operating body acting to push in the piston shaft of the cylinder damper is assumed. If the ratio of the dimension from the pivot point of the operating body to the position of the moving member or the fixed member that rotates the operating body is 1: 2, the moving side required to rotate the operating body The force acting on the cylinder damper (force to push the piston shaft) becomes 2 while the force of the member (retraction force of the moving member) is 1.
In other words, even if the pulling force of the moving member is not particularly strong, it is possible to sufficiently cope with the return force of the cylinder damper, and it can be pulled out smoothly even when pulling out the moving member from the pulling end position. This improves the operability of the drawer.

According to the configuration as the second means of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the configuration as the first means, when the movable member is pulled to a predetermined position, the rotation of the operating body stops, and the movable member Since the rotation angle is maintained until reaching the end position, the moving side member is retracted from the position where the retracting is started to the predetermined position with the initial pulling force. When the pulling force is gradually weakened by buffering and decelerating by the cylinder type damper, the rotation of the operating body stops and the deceleration function is released, so that it is not affected by the weak pulling force. Contrary to the slow and slow movement at the beginning of the pull-in, the moving member is pulled into the pull-in end position smoothly with a fast movement as if sucked.
Furthermore, since the rotation angle of the operating body at the retracting end position is maintained until the moving member is pulled out from the retracting end position to a predetermined position, it is affected by the return force of the self-returning cylinder damper. Without moving, the moving member can be pulled out lightly with a force that exceeds the weakened pull-in force.

According to the configuration of the third means of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the configuration as the first means and the effect of the configuration as the second means, the cylinder type damper and the operating body are connected to the rear end of the fixed member. Since it is provided in the part, it is not visible directly from the outside, so it looks good as a slide rail.
According to the configuration of the fourth means of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the configuration of the first means and the effect of the structure of the second means, the cylinder type damper and the operating body are connected to the front end portion of the moving member. Therefore, when the slide rail is pulled out, it is pulled out at the same time, so that the reduction gear can be easily inspected and repaired.

The present invention provides a slide rail having a retracting function, including a self-returning cylinder damper provided at a rear end portion of a fixed member and an operation body rotatably provided at a rear end portion of the fixed member. When the movable member reaches the retracted position, the operating body rotates so as to push the piston shaft of the cylinder damper by the rear end of the movable member, and when the movable member rotates by a predetermined angle, The pivoting motion stops over the end, and the stopped state is maintained until the moving member reaches the retracting end position. The moving member is pulled out from the retracting end position, and the rear end of the moving member is predetermined. After reaching the position, it returns to the initial state, and from the dimensions from the pivot point of the operating body to the position of the operating body acting on the cylinder damper, In which the dimensions up to which rotates the movable member or the operation of the fixed-side member from the fulcrum is larger.

The first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.
Reference numeral 100 denotes a slide rail equipped with the present invention. The slide rail 100 slides with the moving member 1 via the moving member 1 and a ball retainer 3 that rotatably holds the balls 30. The fixed member 2 is made free, a retracting member 5 attached to the rear end of the moving member 1, and a retracting guide portion 7 provided on the fixed member 2 corresponding to the retracting member 5. ing.
The reduction gear 8 of the first embodiment is provided on the inner surface of the rear end portion of the fixed member 2. In the following description, in FIG. 1, the upper left side is defined as the drawer side (front end side), and the lower right side is defined as the storage side (rear side).

The movable member 1 includes upper and lower bent edges 11 and 11 having ball sliding grooves 10 and 10 in the longitudinal direction of the inner surface obtained by bending both short ends of a metal elongated strip into an inward arc shape, drawers, and the like. Is formed in a substantially C-shaped cross section from the moving-side member substrate 12 connected to.
Then, the drawer side end of the moving member board 12 is bent in the direction of the fixed member 2 to form a moving side storage stopper 13, and a part protrudes in the direction of the fixed member 2 on the rear side of the moving member board 12. A stopper 14 is formed when the moving side is pulled out.

The fixed member 2 includes upper and lower bent edges 21 and 21 having ball sliding grooves 20 and 20 in the longitudinal direction of the outer surface formed by bending both short ends of a metal elongated strip into an outward arc shape. The fixed-side member substrate 22 has a substantially C-shaped cross section.
Then, a retainer rear end portion with which the rear end portion of the ball retainer 3 abuts in a state where a part of the drawer side front portion of the fixed side member substrate 22 protrudes toward the moving member 1 and the moving member 1 is pulled out. A stopper 23 is formed.
Then, the rear end portion of the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member 2 is bent so as to be inclined downward corresponding to the retracting member 5, and the pull-in guide portion 7 that is integrated with the upper bent edge 21 (details will be described later). ) Is formed.

The ball retainer 3 is a size that can be inserted between the moving side member 1 and the fixed side member 2 with a strip metal plate, and is approximately one-third of the length of the fixed side member 2, and is a U-shape. From the upper and lower bent pieces 32, 32 connected to the upper and lower ends of the substrate 31 and the upper and lower bent edges 11, 11, 21, 21 of the movable member 1 and the fixed member 2. Thus, a plurality of balls 30 are rotatably held at several positions in the sliding direction of the upper and lower folded pieces 32, 32.
Then, a part of the rear end portion of the substrate 31 is protruded toward the substrate 22 side of the fixed member 2, and the rear end of the retainer rear end stopper 23 of the fixed member 2 when the movable member 1 is pulled out most. A stopper 33 is formed when the retainer is pulled out to stop in contact with the substrate, and a part of the front portion of the substrate 31 protrudes toward the moving member substrate 12 side. When the moving member 1 is pulled out most, the moving member A stopper 34 at the time of pulling out the retainer is formed in which the stopper 14 at the time of pulling out one moving side comes into contact with the rear end and stops.

That is, the slide rail 100 is in a state in which the movable member 1 is most pulled out (maximum extended state), and the stopper 14 when the movable member 1 is pulled out contacts the front stopper 34 when the retainer 3 is pulled out. When pulled out, the stopper 33 comes into contact with the retainer rear end stopper 23 of the fixed member 2, while the front end surfaces of the upper and lower bent edges 21, 21 of the fixed member 2 in the shortest contracted state of the slide rail 100. The stopper 13 is in contact with the movable member 1 when the movable member 1 is stored.

The retracting guide portion 7 sequentially inclines the bending edge 21 of the fixed side member 2 in a direction in which the moving side member 1 is retracted from a predetermined position of the rear end portion of the ball sliding groove 20 of the fixed side member 2 to thereby fix the fixed side member. The ball sliding groove 20 has the same shape as that of the second ball sliding groove 20, and is formed integrally with the bent edge 21 with a drawing guide path 70 continuous with the ball sliding groove 20.
That is, the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member 2 and the rear end portion of the fixed member substrate 22 and the lower bent edge 21 are left, leaving the continuous portion of the upper bent edge 21 and the fixed member substrate 22. The processing cut-out part 71 cut off by a predetermined dimension in the front-rear direction, the lower bent edge 21 and the lower end side of the fixed-side member substrate 22 continuous therewith are cut out in front of the lower end part of the processing cut-out part 71, and the reduction gear 80 After the operation cutout portion 711 is formed, the continuous portion of the upper bent edge 21 of the remaining fixed member 2 and the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member substrate 22 is inclined downward toward the rear. Thus, a retraction guide portion 7 having the same shape as the ball sliding groove 20 of the stationary member 2 and having a retraction guiding path 70 continuous with the ball sliding groove 20 is formed.

The pull-in guide path 70 is continuous with the long first guide path 72 and the rear end of the first guide path 72 in the same shape as the ball sliding groove 20 inclined downward about 15 degrees from the horizontal direction toward the rear. The second guide path 73 is formed in the same shape as the ball sliding groove 20 which is inclined 25 degrees downward from the horizontal direction toward the rear.
That is, if the urging force of the spring 51 is constant, if the inclination angle of the first guide path 72 is increased, the retraction speed is increased, and if the inclination angle is decreased, the retraction speed is decreased.

The retracting member 5 is attached to the spring 51 and the movable member 1, and is attached to the rotating arm 6, and the rotating arm 6 is provided with rotational force in a predetermined direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 1) by the spring 51. It is comprised from the press contact 50.
In the embodiment, the spring 51 is a winding spring. One end of the spring 51 is formed in the upper holding hole 180 of the sprung holding protrusion 18 formed by projecting a part outward at the rear end of the moving side member substrate 12. The other end is held in the lower holding hole 620 of the unsprung holding protrusion 62 formed on the rotating arm 6 that is held and is rotatably attached to the rear end portion of the moving member substrate 12. It is biased in the direction of separation.
That is, the rotating arm 6 is in a state of being biased in a direction in which the rear end portion rotates downward.

The rotation arm 6 includes a rotation substrate 61 having a connection hole 610 that is rotatably connected to an attachment hole 110 formed in the rear end portion of the movement-side member substrate 12 via a connection shaft 60, and a rotation substrate 61. The moving board 61 is formed in a lateral L-shape from the presser attachment mounting board 63 that protrudes upward from the rear end portion of the moving board 61 and has a connection hole 630 formed at the upper end.
The unsprung holding protrusion 62 having the lower holding hole 620 is formed to protrude outward from the rear end portion of the rotating substrate 61.
In the embodiment, the press contact 50 is formed by a rotary roller having an outer shape that matches the ball sliding groove 20 of the fixed member, and is rotatable to the press contact mounting substrate 63 by a rotation mounting shaft 501 and a connecting hole 630. It is connected to.
That is, if the urging force of the spring 51 is constant, the longer the length from the connecting hole 610 (rotation fulcrum) to the press contact 50 (center of the rotary roller), the more the press contact 50 presses the retracting guide path 70. The power to do becomes weaker, and the pull-in speed becomes slower.

The reduction gear 80 according to the first embodiment includes a self-returning cylinder damper 8 and an operating body 81 of the cylinder damper 8.
The cylinder-type damper 8 includes a spring for self-return, and includes a cylindrical cylinder body 82 filled with high-viscosity oil or grease, and a piston shaft 83 that is held in and out of the cylinder body 82. The front end side of the cylinder body 82 is rotatably connected to the fixed member substrate 22 of the fixed member 2 by a connecting shaft 84.
And the piston shaft 83 has the latching protrusion 831 bent in the hook shape in the rear end.

The operation body 81 includes a square bar-shaped operation leg portion 811 and a semi-disc-shaped connection head portion 812.
The coupling head 812 is formed with a coupling hole 813 and a locking hole 814 into which the locking projection 831 of the piston shaft 83 is fitted and locked, and is positioned above the coupling hole 813 in a substantially upright state of the operating body 81. Has been.
The operating body 81 is pivotally connected to the rear end of the fixed-side member substrate 22 of the fixed-side member 2 through the rotation connecting shaft 815 and the connecting hole 813, and the lower half of the operating leg 811 is In a state where the moving side member 1 is positioned forward from the retracting start position, the lower side of the lower bent edge 11 of the moving side member 1 from the operation notch 711 of the speed reducer 80 formed at the rear end of the fixed side member 2 It becomes the substantially standing state which protrudes toward.
In this state, the piston shaft 83 of the cylinder damper 8 is fully extended. (The state shown in FIG. 11)

  In the first embodiment, when the movable member 1 has reached the retracting start position (in the state shown in FIG. 11), the movable member is moved from the pivot point (center of the pivotal connecting shaft 815) of the operating body 81. The dimension to the position where one operating body 81 is rotated (the position where the rear end surface of the lower bent edge 11 of the moving member 2 abuts against the operating leg 811) is the rotation fulcrum (rotating) of the operating body 81. Approximately three times the dimension from the center of the connecting shaft 815 to the position of the operating body 81 acting on the cylinder damper 8 (the center of the locking hole 814 in which the locking projection 831 of the piston shaft 83 is fitted and locked). Is set to

  The first embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and when the moving member 1 is pushed in from the maximum extended state of the slide rail 100 (when the moving member connected to the moving member 1 is stored). ), The rotating roller 50 is located at the front end (retraction start position) of the first guide path 72 from the rear end of the ball sliding groove 20 of the fixed side member 2, and the rear end surface of the lower bent edge 11 of the moving side member 1. Collides with the front end surface of the operating leg 811 of the operating body 81 (the state shown in FIG. 11) and at the same time, the rotating roller 50 is pressed against the first guide path 72 by the biasing force of the spring 51. Due to the force, the moving member 1 tends to be pulled in rapidly, but at the same time, the rear end surface of the lower bent edge 11 of the moving member 1 is in contact with the front end surface of the operating leg 811 of the operating body 81. Therefore, the operating body 81 is stretched As a result, the moving member 1 is not pulled suddenly and a delicate balance between the damper performance and the biasing force of the spring 51 is obtained. Correspondingly, it is very gentle and gradually retracted.

And the moving side member 1 is further pulled in from the rear end surface of the lower bent edge 11 of the moving side member 1 immediately before the lower end portion of the operating leg portion 811 of the operating body 81 gets over (state shown in FIG. 13). When the lower end portion of the operation leg portion 811 passes over the rear end surface of the lower bent edge 11 of the movable member 1 (the state shown in FIG. 14), the rotation of the operation body 81 is stopped and the deceleration function is released. Become.
Accordingly, the urging force of the spring 51 gradually weakens as the both ends of the spring 51 are sequentially separated, and the pulling force is slightly reduced. However, the deceleration function is released, so that it is not affected by the reduced pulling force. Contrary to the slow, slow movement at the beginning of the retraction, the movement changes to a quick movement as if it was sucked in, and the moving member is pulled in smoothly until the retraction end position.
At this time, the urging force of the spring 51 is further weakened by sequentially separating both ends, but the second guide path 73 has a larger inclination angle than the first guide path 72, so that the weakening of the urging force can be compensated. Maintain the shortest contracted state. (State shown in FIG. 9)

When the moving member 1 is pulled out from this state, the rotating arm 6 rotates clockwise in FIG. 9 against the urging force of the spring 51 (initial resistance by the second guide path 73 having a large inclination angle). However, it moves forward together with the moving side member 1, and the rotating roller 50 is located in the middle of the first guide path 72 from the second guide path 73. (State shown in FIG. 14).
At this time, the urging force of the spring 51 is strengthened by sequentially approaching both ends of the spring 51, but the first guide path 72 has a smaller inclination angle than the second guide path 73, and therefore moves with a resistance smaller than the initial resistance. The side member 1 moves forward, and when the rear end surface of the lower bent edge 11 of the moving side member 1 reaches the front position of the rear end surface of the operating leg 81 of the operating body 81, both end portions of the spring 51 are further moved. The urging force of the spring 51 gradually increases as it approaches, but the restoring force of the self-returning cylinder damper 8 (the turning force that causes the operating leg 81 to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. Since the force that pushes out the member 1 is applied, the pulling force does not change, and the moving member 1 slides smoothly.
The rotating roller 50 is positioned in the ball sliding groove 20, and the moving member 1 is pulled out to the maximum extended state in a state where resistance due to the urging force of the spring 51 is almost eliminated.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

Between the upper fitting portions 963 and 963, a fitting continuous portion 964 that fits into the mounting notch portion 111 formed at the rear end portion of the upper bent edge 11 of the moving member 1 is an apparatus holding portion 95. And the inner surface contact portion 962.
The fitting continuous portion 964 prevents the back-and-forth movement in the state where the case body 900 is attached to the moving member 1.
A plurality of connection holes 950... For connecting the cover case 902 are formed on the cover case 902 side of the device holding unit 95.
In the embodiment, the device holding portion 95, the front and rear fitting attachment portions 96 and 96, and the fitting connecting portions 964 and 964 of the fixed side case 901 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material.

  The cover case 902 has a cylinder body fitting recess 903, a turning recess 904, a turning support recess 905 corresponding to each recess (not shown) of the apparatus holding portion 95, and a mounting hole corresponding to the connection hole 950. 906... Holds the self-returning cylinder damper 9 and the operating body 91 inside, and allows the operating body 91 to turn freely in a state where the tip of the piston shaft 93 is in contact with the operating surface 914. The operating leg 911 is connected to the device holding portion 95 with a connecting screw so that the operating leg portion 911 protrudes below the device holding portion 95 and the cover case 902.

The speed reduction device 90 of the second embodiment is incorporated in the case body 900, and the fitting connection portions 964 and 964 are connected to the front end portion of the moving member 1, and the mounting notch portion 111 for the moving member 1 is attached. , 111 and the upper and lower bent edges 11, 11 and the moving-side member substrate 12 are fitted in close contact with the front and rear mounting portions 96, 96 and are detachably attached.
In the second embodiment, when the movable member 1 has reached the retraction start position (in the state shown in FIG. 18), the fixed member 2 is moved from the pivot point (center of the pivot projection 913) of the operating body 91. Rotate the operating body 91 (the position where the front end surface of the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member 2 abuts against the operating leg 911) is the rotation fulcrum (rotating protrusion) of the operating body 91. The dimension from the center of 913 to the position of the operating body 91 acting on the cylinder type damper 8 (the position where the tip of the piston shaft 93 is in contact with the operating surface 914) is set to be slightly more than twice.

  The second embodiment is configured as described above. When the movable member 1 is pushed in from the maximum extended state of the slide rail 100 (when the movable member connected to the movable member 1 is accommodated), the second embodiment rotates. The roller 50 is located at the front end (retraction start position) of the first guide path 72 from the rear end of the ball sliding groove 20 of the fixed side member 2, and on the front end surface of the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed side member 2. At the same time that the rear end surface of the operation leg portion 911 of 91 collides (the state shown in FIG. 18), the rotating roller 50 is pressed against the first guide path 72 by the biasing force of the spring 51. The moving member 1 is about to be pulled in rapidly, but at the same time, the front end surface of the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member 2 is in contact with the rear end surface of the operating leg 911 of the operating body 91. The operation body 91 has been fully extended. As a result, the moving side member 1 is not pulled suddenly, and a delicate balance between the damper performance and the biasing force of the spring 51 is supported. It is very gradual and is gradually drawn.

Then, the movable member 1 is further retracted from immediately before the lower end of the operating leg portion 911 of the operating body 91 rides over the front end surface of the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member 2 (the state shown in FIG. 19). When the lower end portion of the operation leg portion 911 passes over the front end surface of the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member 2 (as shown in FIG. 20), the rotation of the operation body 91 is stopped and the deceleration function is released. Become.
Accordingly, the urging force of the spring 51 gradually weakens as the both ends of the spring 51 are sequentially separated, and the pulling force is slightly reduced. However, the deceleration function is released, so that it is not affected by the reduced pulling force. Contrary to the slow, slow movement at the beginning of the retraction, the movement changes to a quick movement as if it was sucked in, and the moving member is pulled in smoothly until the retraction end position.
At this time, the urging force of the spring 51 is further weakened by sequentially separating both ends, but the second guide path 73 has a larger inclination angle than the first guide path 72, so that the weakening of the urging force can be compensated. Maintain the shortest contracted state. (The state shown in FIG. 21.)

When the moving member 1 is pulled out from this state, the rotating arm 6 rotates clockwise in FIG. 20 against the biasing force of the spring 51 (initial resistance by the second guide path 73 having a large inclination angle). However, it moves forward together with the moving side member 1, and the rotating roller 50 is located in the middle of the first guide path 72 from the second guide path 73. (State shown in FIG. 20).
At this time, the urging force of the spring 51 is strengthened by sequentially approaching both ends of the spring 51, but the first guide path 72 has a smaller inclination angle than the second guide path 73, and therefore moves with a resistance smaller than the initial resistance. When the side member 1 moves forward and the rear end surface of the operation leg 911 of the operation body 91 reaches the front position of the front end surface of the upper bent edge 21 of the fixed member 2, both ends of the spring 51 are further moved. The urging force of the spring 51 gradually increases as it approaches, but the restoring force of the self-returning cylinder damper 9 (the rotational force that causes the operating leg 911 to rotate clockwise in FIG. 19, that is, the moving member) 1), the pulling force does not change, and the moving member 1 slides smoothly.
The rotating roller 50 is positioned in the ball sliding groove 20, and the moving member 1 is pulled out to the maximum extended state in a state where resistance due to the urging force of the spring 51 is almost eliminated.

In the embodiment, the retracting member 5 attached to the rear end portion of the moving member 1 and the retracting guide portion 7 provided on the fixed member 2 corresponding to the retracting member 5 are retracted into the slide rail 100. Although a function is added, a member having a retracting function is configured between a moving side member (for example, a drawer) connected to the moving side member and the fixed side member and a fixed side member (for example, a furniture body) (for example, In Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-23763), a retracting function may be indirectly added to the slide rail.
Moreover, the structure which adds a drawing-in function to a slide rail is not limited to an Example, It can change suitably.

  As described in detail above, the present invention can be used between a main body of furniture and the drawer, or between a display shelf main body and a shelf board, or between a copier main body and a paper feed tray. Is available.
