Abstract:
A slide rail includes a fixed rail, an intermediate rail a movable rail, and a first to fourth rollers. Use of three rails makes a total length of the slide rail shorter to provide a compact slide rail. The fixed rail includes a rectangular-shaped first plate and a pair of first bent parts; the intermediate rail includes a rectangular-shaped second plate opposed to the first plate and a pair of second bent parts; and the movable rail includes a rectangular-shaped third plate opposed to the second plate and a pair of third bent parts. Among the bent parts, the third bent parts are bent in a direction opposite that of the first and second bent parts.
