Definitions
- the present invention relates to a slide assembly, and more particularly, to a slide assembly capable of quickly installed between a cabinet and a drawer.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,457,867 to Maberry et al. discloses a slide assembly and is incorporated herein by reference, which uses rollers 24, 40 as sliding media and comprises a cabinet member 14 and a drawer member 38 slidably connected to the cabinet member 14.
- the cabinet member 14 is fixed to a cabinet panel 12 by a pair of bushings 16, 18 and a pair of screws 20A, 20B, and the drawer member 38 is fixed to a side of a drawer 36 such that the drawer 36 is slidably connected to the cabinet member 14 by the drawer member 38 and easily slides relative to the cabinet panel 12.
- the slide assembly using the rollers 24, 40 mentioned above allows a larger assembly tolerance between the drawer 36 and the cabinet panel 12, so that, for the furniture manufacturers, the precision for the drawer 36 and the cabinet panel 12 can be compromised and needs not to be compared with industrial precision. Therefore, the slide assemblies using rollers 24, 40 are widely used on furniture combinations. Nevertheless, the slide assemblies using the rollers 20, 24 have restriction of the loads. Furthermore, as to compensate the assembly tolerance, the slide assemblies are not easily to be combined with soft-closing or push-open design to increase their values.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,895,101 to Cabrales et al. discloses a slide assembly and is incorporated herein by reference, which uses ball bearings as sliding media.
- the ball bearings have higher standard of precision and can bear relative high load, so that they are welcomed by customers.
- the ball bearings can be combined with soft-closing design, such as the disclosure of U.S. Patent No. 6,712,435 B2 to Kim et al.
- the high precision of the ball bearings makes them to be squeezed by the drawer and the cabinet when the assembly tolerance between the drawer and the cabinet is beyond the permissible range of the slide assembly. This will result awkward operation of the drawers.
- U.S. Publication No. 2013/0106271 A1 to Anderson et al. discloses a rail assembly having at least one fixed member 56 and at least one floating member 54 and is incorporated herein by reference.

- the at least one floating member 54 is transversely and slidably connected to the fixed member 56. This arrangement permits a relatively large assembly tolerance between the drawer and the cabinet.
- the floating member 54 has a quality flaw such as the floating member is broken or the assembly tolerance between the drawer and the cabinet is too large, the floating member 54 might drop from the fixed member 56, and thus, the position to which the whole set of the rail assembly is installed does not permit to have the relative large tolerance between the drawer and the cabinet.
- the present invention intends to provide a slide assembly that has a support member which is able to move a limited distance so as to compensate the displacement because of installation tolerance.
- the present invention relates to a slide assembly, which comprises a first rail, a second rail and at least one positioning device.
- the first rail has a first elongate body.
- the second rail is longitudinally slidable relative to the first rail and has a second elongate body, wherein at least one of the first elongate body and the second elongate body has an installation hole.

- a third rail is slidably connected between the first and second rails.
- a first ball bearing retainer is disposed between the first and third rails and has a plurality of first ball bearings retained thereby so as to facilitate sliding movement of the third rail relative to the first rail.
- a second ball bearing retainer is disposed between the second and third rails and has a plurality of second ball bearings retained thereby so as to facilitate sliding movement of the second rail relative to the third rail.
- the support member has a head portion, a body portion and a neck portion which extends between the head portion and the body portion.
- the neck portion of the support member is at least partially fitted within the installation hole and has a length larger than a depth of the installation hole such that the support member is transversely movable relative to the at least one of the first elongate body and the second elongate body.

- the slide assembly further comprises a connection frame.
- the connection frame has a slot and at least one latch. A distal end of the first rail is inserted into the slot of the connection frame.
- the slide assembly of a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a first rail 10, a second rail 12, and at least one positioning device 14.
- the first rail 10 has a first elongate body 16.
