Abstract

A slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage comprising: a control stand on which there are a guide plate extending forward, a guide chute at the rear part of the guide plate, and a beveled resisting groove in front of the guide chute; a slide carriage sliding on and covering the guide plate and comprising a shorter first area in the back, a locator under the first area, and an accommodating groove in front of the locator; at least a spring unit linking between the control stand and the slide carriage; a swing member which is held in the accommodating groove and located between the slide carriage and the control stand and is provided with a joint hole in the back and a boss underneath in order to engage the locator with the joint hole, accommodate the boss in the guide chute and embody superior smoothness and actuation.

Claims

1. A slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage, comprising:

a control stand on which there are a baseplate, a guide plate extending forward from said baseplate, a guide chute at said guide plate'"'"'s rear part, and a beveled resisting groove at said guide chute'"'"'s front part;

a slide carriage which slides on and covers said guide plate and comprises a shorter first area in the back as well as a longer second area in the front wherein said first area is provided with a locator underneath and an accommodating groove in front of said locator and said second area is provided with a protective guide plate opposite to said guide chute;

at least a spring linking between said control stand and said slide carriage;

at least a buffering member fixed on said slide carriage and provided with a buffer pole protruding backward for engaging said buffer pole'"'"'s rear tip with said control stand;

a swing member which is held in said accommodating groove and located between said slide carriage and said control stand and provided with (a) a joint hole in the back and a boss underneath wherein said joint hole allows said locator to be held inside and said boss slides and is held in said guide chute and (b) a first guide shoe and a central thrust pad which are located at one flank and separated in order to correspond to the accommodating groove wherein said swing member is further provided with a second guide shoe in front of said central thrust pad for development of a groove between said central thrust pad and said first guide shoe.

2. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 1 wherein said baseplate is equipped with an end sheet in the back and lateral plates as well as fixed retainers at both sides.

3. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 2 wherein said baseplate is provided with a buffering fastener which is located at one flank of said guide plate and said buffering fastener has a mounting hole thereon for engagement of said buffer pole.

4. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 2 wherein said each of the lateral plate is provided with a clamp part inside for engagement of said spring.

5. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 1 wherein said slide carriage is provided with lateral plates at both sides for development of a trajectory chute inside said each of the lateral plate.

6. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 5 wherein said each of the lateral plate is provided with a curved spring guard extending outward for engaging said spring'"'"'s one end with said spring guard.

7. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 5 wherein said protective guide plate is provided with a buffer accommodating groove at one side which is used to hold said buffering member and located in said second area.

9. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 1 wherein said control stand is fixed on the rear end of a bottom track on which there are a central track installed, said central track is provided with an inner track sliding thereon, and said inner track is equipped with a raised linking member at an inner rear part.

10. The slide-track buffering device with a smoothly sliding carriage according to claim 9 wherein said bottom track is provided with hold-down grooves at two rear parts and said guide plate is equipped with fixing bores in the front for engagement of said bottom track.
