Abstract

A heavy-duty automatic return buffering slide comprising an external slide, two sliding assemblies, an internal slide, a limiting rail, a brake member and a pressure cylinder. The sliding assemblies are combined to two sides of the external slide, respectively, and the internal slide is provided with an engaging hook. Both sides of the internal slide are slidably combined between the sliding assemblies. The limiting rail is provided with a sliding groove and a lower countersink, which is continuous with and located lower than the sliding groove. The limiting rail is combined to the external slide. The brake member has one end pivoted to the pressure cylinder and a top provided with an engaging groove for cooperating with the engaging hook. The brake member is provided with two rollers movably disposed in the sliding groove. The pressure cylinder includes a protruding rod to push the brake member.

Claims

1. A heavy-duty automatic return buffering slide comprising:

an external slide being provided with a bottom and an opening;

two sliding assemblies being combined in the external slide;

an internal slide including an opening facing the bottom of the external slide, two opposite sides at both sides of the opening, and a top in alignment with the opening, the top being provided with an engaging hook between the two opposite sides of the internal slide, both the two opposite sides of the internal slide being slidably combined between the two sliding assemblies;

a limiting rail being provided with a sliding groove, which is continuous with a countersink lower than the sliding groove, the limiting rail being combined on the bottom of the external slide;
