The invention provides a retracting apparatus of a sliding rail in which a self locking state is not cancelled without intention, a structure and an adjustment are simple, and a cost is inexpensive. In the retracting apparatus of the sliding rail, a guiding member (13) is provided with two parallel arranged guiding grooves (13a,13b) which are linear in a predetermined range of a drawing and retracting direction, and are bent at a predetermined amount toward an approximately vertical lower side in an end portion in a drawing direction, an engagement member is provided with sliding pins (12d,12e), and the sliding pins (12d,12e) slide along the guiding grooves (13a,13b) in accordance with movement in the drawing direction, and moves downward at a predetermined amount in an end portion in the drawing direction, whereby an engagement between the engagement member (12) and a driving member (11) is cancelled, the engagement member (12) is locked, the driving member (11) and the engagement member (12) are engaged with each other at an automatic retract position on the basis of the movement of the moving rail in the retracting direction, and the lock is cancelled.
