In order to further strengthen the using effect, this embodiment still provides be equipped with two first stiff ends 16 on the slide 13 be equipped with a second stiff end 17 on the slide rail 14, second stiff end 17 is connected for two and one end to spring 15, and the other end corresponds respectively and connects a first stiff end 16 still be equipped with stopper 18 on the slide 13, stopper 18 is used for the distance of spacing second stiff end 17 rebound to make spring 15 keeps tensile state.
Through the form of two springs 15 in this embodiment for tensile and the effect that resets is better, and in order to make slide rail 14 keep stable state, need make spring 15 keep certain tensile force, avoid slide rail 14 to take place to rock from top to bottom on slide 13, so set up stopper 18, the spacing second stiff end 17 of stopper 18 moves up, can make spring 15 keep tensile state.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
