Abstract

A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail and a sliding auxiliary device. The second rail is longitudinally movable relative to the first rail. The sliding auxiliary device is movably arranged between the first rail and the second rail. The sliding auxiliary device includes a first part and a second part mutually engaged. At least one rolling member is mounted to one of the first part and the second part for facilitating the second rail to move relative to the first rail.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A slide rail assembly, comprising:
a first rail;
a second rail longitudinally movable relative to the first rail, the second rail being arranged above the first rail, the second rail comprising a first side wall, a second side wall and a longitudinal wall connected between the first side wall and the second side wall, a mounting hole being formed on the second side wall;
a first sliding auxiliary device movably arranged between the first rail and the second rail, the first sliding auxiliary device comprising a first part and a second part non-movably engaged with each other, at least one first rolling member being mounted to one of the first part and the second part for facilitating the second rail to move relative to the first rail; and
a support member mounted into the mounting hole on the second side wall of the second rail and upwardly supporting a bottom of the first sliding auxiliary device.

2. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first part and the second part of the first sliding auxiliary device respectively comprise a hook part and a recessed part corresponding to each other and mutually engaged.

3. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a second sliding auxiliary device movably mounted to the second rail, wherein a first meshing feature is arranged on the first part and the second part of the first sliding auxiliary device, a second meshing feature is arranged on the second sliding auxiliary device, the slide rail assembly further comprises a synchronizing member meshed between the first meshing feature and the second meshing feature, the first meshing feature is above the bottom of the first sliding auxiliary device, and the synchronizing member is mounted to the second rail by a pivotal base.

4. The slide rail assembly of claim 3 , further comprising a third rail movably connected to the second rail, wherein the second sliding auxiliary device comprises at least one second rolling member configured to facilitate the third rail to move relative to the second rail.

5. The slide rail assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support member is longitudinally non-movable relative to the second rail.

6. A slide rail assembly, comprising:
a first rail;
a second rail longitudinally movable relative to the first rail, the second rail being arranged above the first rail;
a first sliding auxiliary device movably arranged between the first rail and the second rail, the first sliding auxiliary device comprising a first part and a second part non-movably engaged with each other, at least one first rolling member being mounted to one of the first part and the second part for facilitating the second rail to move relative to the first rail; and
a support member mounted on the second rail and upwardly supporting a bottom of the first sliding auxiliary device, the support member being longitudinally non-movable relative to the second rail, wherein the support member is mounted on the second rail in a detachable manner along a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the second rail.
