Abstract

A slide assembly includes a first locking slice, a second locking slice and an elastic member slidably connected to the first locking slice and the second locking slice. A first latching hook is located on the first locking slice. A second latching hook is located on the second locking slice. A locating hole is defined in the rack corresponding to the first latching hook and the second latching hook. When the outer slide is released from the rack, the second locking slice is pressed to move in a first direction, the first locking slice is pressed to move in a second direction. The elastic member is elastically deformed. The first latching hook and the second latching hook are moved out from the locating hole.

         4 . The slide assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one first latching hook comprises a first connection portion extending horizontally from the first locking slice and a first abutting portion extending from the first connection portion in the first direction; and the first connection portion passes through the at least one first sliding slot, the first abutting portion abuts the at least one locating hole when the outer slide is mounted on the rack. 
     
     
         5 . The slide assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the first connecting hook comprises a second connection portion extending from the first locking slice and a first blocking portion extending from the second connection portion in the second direction; and the elastic member is mounted on the second connection portion to abut the first blocking portion. 
     
     
         6 . The slide assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one second latching hook comprises a third connection portion extending horizontally from the second locking slice and a second abutting portion extending from the third connection portion in the second direction; and the third connection portion passes through the at least one second sliding slot, the second abutting portion abuts the at least one locating hole when the outer slide is mounted on the rack. 
     
     
         7 . The slide assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the second connecting hook comprises a fourth connection portion extending from the second locking slice and a second blocking portion extending from the fourth connection portion in the first direction; and the elastic member is mounted on the fourth connection portion to abut the second blocking portion. 
     
     
         8 . The slide assembly of  claim 7 , wherein a first pressing portion extending horizontally from the first locking slice; a second pressing portion extending horizontally from the second locking slice; the second locking slice moves in the first direction by pressing the second pressing portion; and the first locking slice moves in the second direction by pressing the first pressing portion. 
     
     
         9 . The slide assembly of  claim 8 , further comprising a protection member mounted on the outer slide; the protection member covers the first locking slice, the second locking slice, and the elastic member; and the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion extend out from the protection member. 
     
     
         10 . The slide assembly of  claim 9 , wherein a first abutting block is located on the first locking slice adjacent to the first connecting hook; a second abutting block is located on the second locking slice adjacent to the second connecting hook; and the second abutting block abuts the outer slide, the first abutting block abuts the second abutting block when the outer slide is mounted on the rack. 
     
     
         11 . A slide assembly, comprising:
 a first locking slice comprising at least one first latching hook;   a second locking slice comprising at least one second latching hook;   an outer slide defining at least one first sliding slot and at least one second sliding slot;   a rack defining at least one locating hole therein;   an elastic member slidably connected to the first locking slice and the second locking slice; wherein when the outer slide is mounted on the rack, the at least one first latching hook passes through the at least one first sliding slot to be mounted in the at least one locating hole, the at least one second latching hook passes through the at least one second sliding slot to be mounted in the at least one locating hole; when the outer slide is released from the rack, the second locking slice is pressed to move in a first direction, the first locking slice is pressed to move in a second direction; the elastic member is elastically deformed; and the at least one first latching hook and the at least one second latching hook are moved out from the at least one locating hole.   
     
     
         12 . The slide assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction. 
     
     
         13 . The slide assembly of  claim 12 , wherein a first connecting hook is located on the first locking slice; a second connecting hook is located on the second locking slice; and the elastic member is mounted on the first connecting hook and the second connecting hook. 
     
     
         14 .
