<p id="p0027" num="0027">The first support member 50 is fixed to the first slide member 12 and located close to the first wall 18. The first support member 50 includes a first guiding portion 70 located corresponding to the first guiding surface 38 of the second slide member 14, a first chamber 72 and a second chamber 74 located<!-- EPO <DP n="12"> --> corresponding to the first guiding portion 70, and a first stop wall 76 adjacent to the second chamber 74. When the second slide member 14 is inserted in the first slide member 12, as shown in <figref idref="f0004">Fig. 4</figref>, the first guiding portion 70 of the first support member 50 will be contact with the first guiding surface 38 of the second slide member 14 for guiding the second slide member 14 to be inserted in the first slide member 12. The first stop wall 76 is adapted to hold against the second stop member 46 so as to position the second stop portion 62 thereat.</p>
<p id="p0028" num="0028">The second support member 52 is fixed to the first slide member 12 and located close to the second wall 20. The second support member 52 includes a second guiding portion 80 located corresponding to the second guiding surface 40 of the second slide member 14, a third chamber 82 and a fourth chamber 84 located corresponding to the second guiding portion 80, and a second stop wall 86 adjacent to the fourth chamber 84. When the second slide member 14 is inserted in the first slide member 12, as shown in <figref idref="f0004">Fig. 4</figref>, the second guiding portion 80 of the second support member 52 will be contact with the second guiding surface 40 of the second slide member 14 so as to guide the second slide member 14 to be inserted in the first slide member 12. The second stop wall 86 is adapted to hold against the first stop member 44 so as to position the first stop portion 58 thereat.</p>
<p id="p0029" num="0029">As shown in <figref idref="f0004 f0005 f0006">Fig. 4 to Fig. 6</figref>, when the second slide member 14 is inserted in the first slide member 12, the first and second guiding surfaces 38, 40 of the second slide member 14 are correctly inserted in the guiding passage 30 of the first slide member 12. The first guiding portion 70 of the first support member 50 and<!-- EPO <DP n="13"> --> the second guiding portion 80 of the second support member 52 guide the first guiding surface 38 and the second guiding surface 40 of the second slide member 14. The first engaging portion 56 of the first stop member 44 and the second engaging portion 60 of the second stop member 46 are pivoted an angle by the top wall 32 and the bottom wall 34 of the second slide member 14. As shown in <figref idref="f0005">Figs. 5</figref> and <figref idref="f0006">6</figref>, the first engaging portion 56 of the first stop member 44 enters the first chamber 72 of the first support member 50 and the first stop portion 58 of the first stop member 44 enters the fourth chamber 84 of the second support member 52. Therefore, the first engaging portion 56 and the first stop portion 58 of the first stop member 44 are moved from the guiding passage 30 of the first slide member 12 and do not block the second slide member 14. In the meanwhile, the second engaging portion 60 of the second stop member 46 enters the third chamber 82 of the second support member 52 and the second stop portion 62 of the second stop member 46 enters the second chamber 74 of the first support member 50. Therefore, the first stop portion 58 of the first stop member 44 and the second stop portion 62 of the second stop member 46 both are moved from the guiding passage 30 of the first slide member 12 and do not block the bottom wall 34 and the top wall 32 of the second slide member 14. The second slide member 14 can be continuously inserted in the first slide member 12, as shown in <figref idref="f0006">Fig. 6</figref>. By using the mechanism, as long as the second slide member 14 can be partially inserted into the first slide member 12, the first and second guiding surfaces 38, 40 of the second slide member 14 can be contact with the first guiding portion 70 of the first support member 50 and the<!-- EPO <DP n="14"> --> second guiding portion 80 of the second support member 52. The second slide member 14 is then correctly and normally inserted into the guiding passage 30 of the first slide member 12.</p>
<p id="p0030" num="0030">On the contrary, as shown in <figref idref="f0007">Fig. 7</figref>, when the second slide member 14 is not correctly connected to the first slide member 12, for example, only the bottom wall 34 of the second slide member 14 is inserted into the second support member 52 of the first slide member 12, and the top wall 32 of the second slide member 14 is not inserted into the first support member 50 of the first slide member 12. That is to say, the first guiding surface 38 of the second slide member 14 is not contact with the first guiding portion 70 of the first support member 50, the first engaging portion 56 of the first slide member 44 is not pushed by the top wall 32 of the second slide member 14. The first stop member 44 is maintained stationary. The first stop portion 58 holds against the second stop wall 86 and located in the guiding passage 30 of the first slide member 12. Therefore, when the bottom wall 34 of the second slide member 14 slides along the second support member 52 of the first slide member 12, the second slide member 14 only pushes the second engaging portion 60 of the second stop member 46 and passes. The bottom wall 34 is stopped by the first stop portion 58 of the first stop member 44 and cannot move further, as shown in <figref idref="f0008">Fig. 8</figref>. Accordingly, once the second slide member 14 is not correctly inserted in the first slide member 12, the assembler is acknowledged this situation by the first stop member 44 located at the trace that the second slide member 14 is slidably connected to the first slide member 12, the assembler then<!-- EPO <DP n="15"> --> removes the second slide member 14 and installs the second slide member 14 to the first slide member 12 again. The second slide member 14 will not be installed in an incorrect way to cause any possible risk because of the incorrect installation.</p>
