ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a fixing base structure of a slide track, and more particularly to a fixing base structure including a fixing base having a retaining plate elastically pressing a slide track in a retaining groove of the fixing base, such that relative wobbling or detachment will not happen between the slide track and the fixing base.
2. Description of the Related Art
The closest prior art of which the applicant is aware is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,257,861 to Domenig et al., issued on Nov. 22, 1993, which is shown in FIG.
1
. The U.S. Pat. No. 5,257,861 disclosed a fixing base and a slide track. The fixing base
10
has a first end provided with a stop
10
a,
and a second end provided with a pair of spring flanges
10
b.
the slide track
20
is provided with a through slot
20
a.
When the fixing base
10
is combined with the slide track
20
, the stop
10
a
is matingly snapped in the through slot
20
a,
thereby properly limiting the relative displacement between the fixing base
10
and the slide track
20
, so that the slide track
20
is displaced on the fixing base
10
along the through slot
20
a.
At this time, although the pair of spring flanges
10
b
at one end of the fixing base
10
may elastically fix the slide track
20
, the stop
10
a
at the other end of the fixing base
10
is connected with the through slot
20
a
in a simple snap manner, so that wobbling easily produces between the stop
10
a
and the through slot
20
a,
and the parts easily hit each other. Thus, the wobbling incurring between the stop
10
a
and the through slot
20
a
easily causes the stop
10
a
to wear or detach.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
With regard to this, for overcoming the above-described drawbacks, the retaining groove of the fixing base is matingly provided with the retaining plate, thereby elastically pressing the slide track on the fixing base. In addition, the retaining groove and the retaining plate are matingly mounted on the guide channel, so that wobbling will not happen when the slide track is combined in the guide channel of the fixing base, thereby enhancing the usage reliability of the product.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a fixing base structure of a slide track, wherein a fixing base is provided with a retaining groove, and a retaining plate for fixing combination of a positioning plate of a slide track, so that fixing base structure of the present invention can enhance the combination effect of the parts.
A secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a fixing base structure of a slide track, wherein the guide channel of the fixing base is matingly provided with the retaining groove and the retaining plate. Thus, after the slide track is combined in the guide channel of the fixing base, the slide track is retained by the retaining groove and pressed by the retaining plate, so that relative wobbling or vibration will not happen between the slide track and the fixing base, such that the present invention can enhance the usage reliability of the product.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a fixing base structure of a slide track, wherein the fixing base includes a plurality of snap members, a guide channel, a retaining groove, and a retaining plate. The snap members are arranged on the back face of the fixing base. The guide channel is provided in the front face of a fixing base, and the guide channel is matingly provided with the retaining groove and the retaining plate. When the slide track is mounted in the guide channel of the fixing base, the retaining plate elastically presses the slide track in the retaining groove, so that wobbling will not produce after the slide track is combined in the guide channel of the fixing base. When the positioning plate of the slide track is adjusted to displace in the retaining groove of the fixing base, the retaining plate of the fixing base still elastically presses the positioning plate of the slide track in the retaining groove, so that the slide track is stably displaced in the guide channel of the fixing base.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
