SLIDE RAIL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603074 titled 'SLIDE RAIL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The slide rail described in the patent application consists of an outer rail, an inner rail, and a drawing mechanism. The outer rail is fixed inside a housing, while the inner rail is attached to a unit and moves along the outer rail. The drawing mechanism is supported by the outer rail and draws in the inner rail from a start position to an end position.
- The outer rail is fixed on the inner surface of a housing.
- The inner rail is engaged with the outer rail and moves along it.
- The drawing mechanism is supported by the outer rail and draws in the inner rail along a specific direction.
- The inner rail includes a coupling pin and a protrusion for engagement with the drawing mechanism.
- The coupling pin is located at one end of the inner rail and the protrusion at the other end towards the outer rail.
Potential Applications: - This slide rail system could be used in various industrial applications where precise movement and positioning are required. - It can be utilized in automated machinery, assembly lines, and robotics for smooth and accurate sliding motion.
Problems Solved: - The slide rail system solves the problem of ensuring stable and controlled movement of components within a confined space. - It addresses the need for a reliable mechanism for drawing in and out rails in a linear motion system.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in industrial processes due to precise and smooth movement. - Enhanced safety by providing secure and stable rail positioning. - Cost-effective solution for linear motion applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Slide Rail System for Industrial Automation This technology can be commercialized for use in manufacturing equipment, conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and other industrial automation applications. It offers a reliable and efficient solution for linear motion control in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the slide rail system improve the efficiency of industrial processes? 2. What are the key features that make this slide rail system suitable for automation applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
The slide rail includes an outer rail, an inner rail and a drawing mechanism. The outer rail is fixed on an inner surface of a housing. The inner rail is fixed to a unit, engaged with the outer rail and moves along the outer rail. The drawing mechanism is supported by the outer rail, coupled to the inner rail at a draw-in start position and draws in the inner rail to a draw-in end position along a draw-in direction. The inner rail includes a coupling pin and a protrusion. The coupling pin is provided on one end portion in the draw-in direction, and configured to be engaged with the drawing mechanism. The protrusion is provided on the other end portion in the draw-in direction, and protrudes toward the outer rail.
