Patent attributes
A slide assembly includes a first slide (10), a second slide (20) slidably attached to the first slide, and a third slide (30) incorporated with a releasing member (50) slidably attached to the second slide. The first slide includes a stop (14) and a block (16). The second slide has a stop piece (28) and a slot (26) for movably receiving a retention pin (40). When the first, second, and third slides are in a fully extended state, the retention pin and the stop piece are resisted by the stop and the block of the first slide respectively, thereby restraining sliding movement between the second slide and the first slide; when the third slide is retracted from the fully extended state to a semi-extended state, the retention pin is lifted by the releasing member and disengaged from the stop, thereby allowing the second slide to retract into the first slide.
