Abstract

A slide rail kit is applicable to a rack. The rack includes at least one mounting structure having a first predetermined portion and a second predetermined portion. The slide rail kit includes a rail member and a supporting bracket. The supporting bracket is arranged on the rail member and includes a first mounting feature and a second mounting feature. The first mounting feature is configured to be mounted to the first predetermined portion of the rack. The second mounting feature includes an elastic member and a mounting member arranged on the elastic member. The mounting member can be mounted to the second predetermined portion of the rack in response to an elastic force of the elastic member.

First claim

2 . The slide rail kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one mounting structure of the rack comprising a plurality of holes, each hole is defined by a plurality of walls, the plurality of walls comprises at least a front wall and a rear wall, the front wall is the first predetermined portion, the rear wall is the second predetermined portion.

3 . The slide rail kit of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of holes comprises at least a first hole and a second hole, the rail member is able to be engaged with the front wall of the first hole through the first mounting feature of the supporting bracket, and the rail member is able to be engaged with the rear wall of the second hole through the second mounting member of the supporting bracket.

4 . The slide rail kit of claim 3 , wherein the first mounting feature of the supporting bracket has a first section and a second section, the second section is bent relative to the first section, the first section is configured to be engaged with the front wall of the first hole.

5 . The slide rail kit of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of walls further comprises an upper wall and a lower wall respectively located above and below the first section.

6 . The slide rail kit of claim 1 , wherein the rack has a connecting feature, the supporting bracket further has a connecting structure, and the connecting structure is configured to provide a fastening member for being locked to the connecting feature of the rack.

7 . The slide rail kit of claim 1 , wherein the supporting bracket comprises a longitudinal portion and a protruded portion having a transverse height relative to the longitudinal portion, the supporting bracket is connected to the rail member through the longitudinal portion, the first mounting feature and the second mounting feature are arranged on the protruded portion.

8 . The slide rail kit of claim 1 , further comprising at least one movable rail movable relative to the rail member.

9 . A slide rail kit, applicable to a rack, the rack comprising a first hole and a second hole, the slide rail kit comprising:
a rail member; and a supporting bracket arranged on the rail member, the supporting bracket comprising a first mounting feature and a second mounting feature respectively configured to be mounted to a first predetermined portion of the first hole and a second predetermined portion of the second hole of the rack, to prevent the rail member from being moved longitudinally relative to the rack; wherein the second mounting feature comprises an elastic member and amounting member, the mounting member is arranged on the elastic member, and the mounting member is configured to be mounted to the second predetermined portion of the rack.

10 . The slide rail kit of claim 9 , wherein the elastic member comprises a connecting portion, an operating portion and an elastic arm located between the connecting portion and the operating portion, the connecting portion is connected to the supporting bracket, and the mounting member is arranged on the elastic arm, such that the mounting member is able to be engaged with the second predetermined portion of the rack in response to an elastic force of the elastic arm.

11 . A slide rail kit, applicable to a rack, the rack comprising at least one post, the at least one post having a first post side, a second post side opposite to the first post side, a first hole and a second hole, the first hole having a first predetermined portion, the second hole having a second predetermined portion, the slide rail kit comprising:
