Abstract

A slide rail mechanism includes a rail member, a reinforcing member and a bracket. The reinforcing member is connected to the rail member. The bracket is movable along a length direction of the rail member and the reinforcing member. The bracket, the rail member and the reinforcing member are able to support each other when the bracket is moved to an arbitrary position.

First claim
