Slide rail assembly
Abstract
Abstract A TRACK AND ROLLERS ARE ENGAGEABLE AND ARE INTERPOSED BETWEEN TWO RELATIVELY MOVABLE MEMBERS TO FORM A SLIDE RAIL ASSEMBLY. TWO ROLLERS ARE JOINED TOGETHER BY AN AXLE, AND A PIVOT PIN PRESSES THROUGH THE AXLE AND IS MOUNTED IN A MOUNTING FLANGE THAT EXTENDS OUTWARD FROM ONE OF THE TWO RELATIVELY MOVABLE MEMBERS PARALLEL TO AND BETWEEN THE ROLLERS. THE PIVOT PIN IS THEREBY ALIGNED WITH THE PATH OF RELATIVE MOTION AND THE ROLLERS CAN PIVOT IN A PLANE THAT IS PREPENDICULAR TO THE DIRECTION OF RELATIVE MOTION. TWISTING OF EITHER OF THE RELATIVELY MOVABLE MEMBERS THEREBY DOES NOT CAUSE MISALIGNMENT OF THE ROLLERS WITH THE TRACK, AND CONSEQUENT JAMMING OF THE SLIDE RAIL MECHANISM IS PREVENTED.
