Slide rail assembly and image forming apparatus with the same

摘要

A slide rail assembly includes a fixed rail, a movable rail, and a lever member engageable to the fixed rail. In a state where the movable rail is fully removed from the fixed rail, the lever member locks a ball retainer against sliding movement relative to the fixed rail. In a state where the movable rail is assembled to the fixed rail, the lever member releases the locking of the ball retainer. The lever member includes a pressure receiving portion projectable through a window portion of the ball retainer. During reassembly of the movable rail to the fixed rail, the pressure receiving portion is pressed by a pressing portion of the movable rail, so that the locking of the ball retainer by the lever member is released.
