Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to slide devices, and particularly to a slide device with a removable and lockable inner slide member.
- 2. Prior Art
- Slide devices are often mounted into electronic equipment for facilitating replacement or maintenance of inner components of the equipment. The slide devices allow the inner components to be conveniently slid into and out from the electronic devices.
- To prevent slide members of a slide device from being accidentally slid out from the slide device and falling down, U.S. Pat. No. 4,549,773 discloses a slide device with a latch mechanism which makes an inner slide member removable and lockable. Referring to
FIG. 7 , the latch mechanism comprises alatch 80. Thelatch 80 defines acutout 82. One end of thelatch 80 is pivotally attached to aninner slide member 70. A spring (not shown) is arranged between thelatch 80 and theinner slide member 70 to bias thelatch 80. Theinner slide member 70 is slidable in anintermediate slide member 90. Theintermediate member 90 comprises atab 92 corresponding to thecutout 82 of thelatch 80. When theinner slide member 70 is slid into theintermediate slide member 90, thelatch 80 is manually pressed, and the spring is compressed. When theinner slide member 70 is slid to a predetermined position, thetab 92 snappingly engages in thecutout 82 of thelatch 80 of theinner slide member 70, and thelatch 80 returns to its original position under the biasing force of the spring. Thus theinner slide member 70 is securely locked in the predetermined position. - However, the above latch mechanism has several drawbacks. First, a spring member is needed to bias the
latch 80, and attachment of the spring in assembly of the latch mechanism is unduly cumbersome and time consuming. In addition, the spring may even drop out from theinner slide member 70 if the latch mechanism is subjected to strong vibration. Second, once thecutout 82 has engagingly received thetab 92, thelatch 80 must be manually pushed to overcome the bias force of the spring and release thetab 92 from the cutout, so that theinner slide member 70 can be slid in theintermediate slide member 90 again. This operation is inconvenient. Third, a pair of the slide devices is usually needed to be respectively mounted on opposite sides of an electronic component. Accordingly, a pair oflatches 80 having symmetrical configurations is needed. The requirement for two configurations of thelatches 80 increases manufacturing costs. - Thus an improved slide device which overcomes the above-mentioned problems is desired.
- Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a slide device which allows convenient removal and locking of an inner slide member thereof.
- To achieve the above-mentioned object, a slide device in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an outer slide member, an intermediate slide member, an inner slide membe, and a latch. The intermediate slide member is slidable witin the outer slide member, and includes a stop extending therefrom. The inner slide member is slidable within the intermediate slide member. The latch is attached to the inner slide member, and sandwiched between the intermediate slide member and the inner slide member. An elastic body portion extends from the latch, and includes a first bent section extending slantwise toward the intermediate slide member and a second bent section extending slantwise toward the inner slide member. The first bent section or the second bent section defines an aperture corresponding to the stop of the intermediate slide member. When the inner slide member is slid into and out from the intermediate slide member, the stop of the intermediate slide member rides along the elastic body portion of the latch, and causes the latch to deform toward the inner slide member; and when the stop reaches the aperture of the elastic body portion, it snappingly engages in the aperture to lock the inner slide member to the intermediate slide member.
- Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will be drawn from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention with the attached drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a slide device in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of a latch and an inner slide member of the slide device ofFIG. 1 , showing the latch attached to the inner slide member; -
FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the latch ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is a schematic top elevation of an intermediate slide member, the latch and the inner slide member of the slide device ofFIG. 1 , showing different stages of sliding of the inner slide member relative to the intermediate slide member; -
FIG. 5 is an isometric view of an electronic component container slidably attached to a case by a pair of slide devices in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention is mounted; -
FIG. 6 is an isometric view of a latch of a slide device in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 7 is an isometric view of a conventional slide device. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , a slide device in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises aninner slide member 20, anintermediate slide member 30, alatch 40 attached to theinner slide member 20, and anouter slide member 50. Theinner slide member 20 is slidable within theintermediate slide member 30. Theintermediate slide member 30 is slidable within theouter slide member 50. - Referring also to
FIG. 2 , theinner slide member 20 forms a pair oftabs 24 on a center portion of an inside face thereof. Thetabs 24 are parallel to each other, and each tab is oriented transversely to theinner slide member 20. Theintermediate slide member 30 forms astop 34 near an end of an inside face thereof. - Referring also to
FIG. 3 , thelatch 40 is made of elastic material. Thelatch 40 comprises, in sequence, ahead 42, aneck 44 extending slightly slantwise from thehead 42, and a bentelastic body portion 45 extending slantwise from theneck 44. Theelastic body portion 45 comprises, in sequence, afirst bent section 46, asecond bent section 48, and anend section 49. Thehead 42 is generally planar, and defines a pair ofcutouts 43 corresponding to thetabs 24 of theinner slide member 20. A narrowed width of theneck 44 facilitates elastic deformation of theelastic body portion 45. Thefirst bent section 46 extends slantwise from theneck 44 slightly toward theintermediate slide member 30. Thesecond bent section 48 extends slantwise from thefirst bent section 46 slightly toward theinner slide member 20. Thesecond bent section 48 defines anaperture 47 near thefirst bent section 46, corresponding to thestop 34 of theintermediate slide member 30. Theend section 49 extends from thesecond bent section 48 toward theinner slide member 20, for being pressed in order to elastically deform thelatch 40. - To attach the
latch 40 to theinner slide member 20, thehead 42 of thelatch 40 is placed on the inside face of theinner slide member 20, with thetabs 24 of theinner slide member 20 extending through thecutouts 43 of thelatch 40. Thetabs 24 are then bent perpendicularly toward each other so that they abut thehead 42. Thus thelatch 40 is fixedly attached to theinner slide member 20. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , to attach theinner slide member 20 into theintermediate slide member 30, theinner slide member 20 is oriented so that its inside face generally opposes an inside face of theintermediate slide member 30. Theinner slide member 20 is slid into theintermediate slide member 30 along direction M from the end of theintermediate slide member 30 where thestop 34 is located. Thestop 34 rides along the firstbent section 46 of thelatch 40, and causes thelatch 40 to deform toward theinner slide member 20. As thestop 34 begins to ride along the secondbent section 48, it snappingly engages in theaperture 47. Thus theinner slide member 20 is locked to theintermediate slide member 30 in a predetermined position. To continue sliding theinner slide member 20 into theintermediate slide member 30, theend section 49 of thelatch 40 is pressed in order to deform thelatch 40 toward theinner slide member 20. Thestop 34 is released from theaperture 47, and theinner slide member 20 is free to be slid further. - When the
inner slide member 20 is slid out from theintermediate slide member 30 along direction N, thestop 34 rides along the secondbent section 48 of thelatch 40, and causes thelatch 40 to deform toward theinner slide member 20. When theinner slide member 20 reaches the predetermined position, thestop 34 snappingly engages in theaperture 47. Thus theinner slide member 20 is locked in the predetermined position, and is prevented from being accidentally slid completely out from theintermediate slide member 30. To slide theinner slide member 20 completely out from theintermediate slide member 30, theend section 49 of thelatch 40 is pressed in order to deform thelatch 40 toward theinner slide member 20. Thestop 34 is released from theaperture 47, and theinner slide member 20 is free to be slid further. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 5 , the combinedinner slide member 20 andintermediate slide member 30 is slidably engaged in theouter slide member 50 to form the slide device. A pair of such slide devices is provided. Theouter slide members 50 of the slide devices are respectively attached to opposite insides of acase 60 at anopening 62 thereof. Theinner slide members 20 of the slide devices are respectively attached to opposite sides of anelectronic component container 64. Thus thecontainer 64 is slidable into and out from thecase 60 via theopening 62. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , alatch 40′ in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the present invention is similar to thelatch 40 of the slide device of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, except for anaperture 47′. Theaperture 47′ is defined in a firstbent section 46′ of anelastic body portion 45′ of thelatch 40′. Theelastic body portion 45′ also comprises a secondbent section 48′ and anend section 49′. Assembly of thelatch 40′ to theinner slide member 20 and operation of thelatch 40′ are substantially the same as that described above in relation to thelatch 40 of the slide device of the preferred embodiment. - It is understood that the invention may be embodied in other forms without departing from the spirit thereof. Thus, the present examples and embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the details given herein.
