1. A slide rail assembly, comprising:
a first rail including a first wall, a second wall, and a longitudinal wall connected between the first wall and the second wall of the first rail;
a supporting frame extending longitudinally and including an upper supporting portion, a lower supporting portion, and an intermediate supporting portion connected between the upper and lower supporting portions, the upper supporting portion, the lower supporting portion, and the intermediate supporting portion jointly define a channel into which the first rail is received and affixed to the first rail therein, the supporting frame includes a position-limiting feature defined by a notch formed in an end portion of the intermediate supporting portion thereof;
a second rail including a first wall, a second wall, and a longitudinal wall connected between the first wall and the second wall of the second rail, wherein the second rail is displaceable with respect to the first rail from a retracted position in a first direction; and
a position-limiting member disposed on the longitudinal wall of the second rail and having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal wall of the second rail, and the second portion extends substantially perpendicularly from the first portion and is spaced apart from the longitudinal wall of the second rail, a distal end of the first portion adjacent to the second portion being configured to be received within the notch of the intermediate supporting portion;
wherein responsive to the second rail being at the retracted position with respect to the first rail, the first rail and the second rail are partially embraced by the position-limiting member, and the distal end of the first portion of the position-limiting member is disposed in the notch of the intermediate supporting portion of the supporting frame and the first portion of the position-limiting member is disposed in abutting relationship with a front end portion of the first rail and in correspondence with a front end portion of the second rail, and the second portion of the position-limiting member prevents the first rail and the second rail from separating from each other in a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being substantially perpendicular to each other.
