Abstract

A bracket device of a slide rail assembly includes a bracket and a fastening member. The bracket includes a side wall and a mounting member adjacent to the side wall. The fastening member is movable relative to the bracket, and includes a side part, a fastening part and a blocking feature. The fastening part is bent relative to the side part, and the blocking feature is arranged at the side part. When the fastening member is located at a predetermined position relative to the bracket, the blocking feature is adjacent to the mounting member. When the fastening member is moved away from the predetermined position, the blocking feature is away from the mounting member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A slide rail assembly, applicable to a post, the slide rail assembly comprising:
a first rail;
a second rail movable relative to the first rail; and
a bracket device attached to the first rail, the bracket device comprising:
a bracket comprising a side wall and a mounting member adjacent to the side wall, the mounting member configured to be inserted into a hole of the post; and
a fastening member comprising a side part pivoted to the bracket, a fastening part bent relative to the side part, and a blocking feature arranged on the side part;

wherein when the mounting member is inserted to the hole of the post in order to mount the slide rail assembly to the post, the fastening part of the fastening member is configured to lock the post;
wherein when the slide rail assembly is moved by a force, the blocking feature is configured to abut against the post in order to prevent the mounting member from being detached from the hole of the post;
wherein the bracket further comprises an end wall bent relative to the side wall, and the mounting member is arranged on the end wall; and
wherein the blocking feature is adjacent to a bending position between the side part and the fastening part, and the blocking feature is a protrusion configured to be located between the fastening part and the end wall.

2. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting member comprises a first part and a second part, and the first part and the second part have different dimensions.

3. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fastening part is substantially perpendicularly bent relative to the side part.

4. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blocking feature is integrally formed with the side part of the fastening member.

5. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blocking feature is not integrally formed with the side part of the fastening member.

6. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a third rail movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail.
