A slide assembly 30 is provided for slidably mounting a drawer 200 within a carcass 101. The slide assembly includes a runner bar 16 and a slide limiter. The runner bar 30 has a first slidable connection 36,48 for slidably mounting the drawer 200 for sliding movement relative to the runner bar 30 between retracted and extended configurations. The runner bar 30 also has a second slidable connection 42, 50 for slidably mounting the runner bar 30 for sliding movement relative to the carcass 101 between retracted and extended configurations. The slide limiter includes stops 72, 80, 82, 372, 380, 382 for limiting the relative extension of the drawer 200 and the runner bar 46, and the runner bar 46 and the carcass 101. The stops 72, 80, 82, 372, 380, 382 are discrete from the first and second slidable connections 36, 48, 42, 50.

A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a first locking mechanism, and a second locking mechanism. The second rail can be displaced with respect to the first rail. The first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism are disposed at two different portions of the second rail respectively and can be locked to the first rail separately in order to keep the second rail at either of two predetermined extended positions. The first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism can then be operated and thereby unlocked from the first rail so that the second rail can be retracted with respect to the first rail.

A refrigerator having a first storage compartment having a first storage space defined therein, a door disposed on the first storage compartment to open and close the first storage space, a drawer-receiving portion defined in the first storage space; a storage drawer configured to be extendable from and retractable into the drawer-receiving portion, and an actuator disposed on a bottom face of the drawer-receiving portion, wherein the actuator is configured to move the storage drawer in an extended direction as the storage drawer is pressed in a retracted direction.

A drawer rail and a home appliance including the same are disclosed. The home appliance includes a drawer rail configured to withdraw an item accommodation unit provided in a storage chamber. The drawer rail includes a first rail mounted to the storage chamber, a second rail coupled to the item accommodation unit, a third rail disposed between the first rail and the second rail, a first retainer disposed between the first rail and the third rail to allow relative sliding movement, a second retainer disposed between the second rail and the third rail to allow relative sliding movement, a first stopper for limiting an allowable relative sliding distance between the first rail and the third rail, and a second stopper for limiting an allowable relative sliding distance between the second rail and the third rail.

A device for moving a movable furniture part, including a force accumulator for causing the movable furniture part to be put in the opening direction of the movable furniture part, and wherein the device has a locking assembly for locking a tensioned position of the force accumulator, in which the force accumulator is charged for the opening movement of the furniture part. The tensioned position of the force accumulator is unlockable by displacing an activator element that interacts with the locking assembly. The locking assembly includes a pivotably mounted locking member, and the activator element and the locking member are mutually adapted in such a manner that, for unlocking the tensioned position of the force accumulator, the activator element carries out a linear repositioning movement and comes to bear on the locking member in such a manner that the locking member is subjected to a pivoting movement, or vice versa.
