Abstract
A latch mechanism is provided for retaining a slide rail assembly, which includes first and second slide rails. The latch mechanism includes a first latch member pivotably attached to the second slide rail, and a second latch member movably attached to the second slide rail. The first latch member includes a driving portion, an operating portion, and a first stop portion. The second latch member includes a second stop portion and a driven portion. A protrusion extends from the first slide rail capable of being blocked between the first and second stop portion to confine the second slide rail relative to the first slide rail. The operating portion is capable of being pressed to bias the first latch member, such that the driving portion drives the driven portion to bias the second latch member to thereby release the protrusion of the first slide rail from the first and second stop portions.
