Half-rack crossbar systems

摘要

Crossbars span the width between two opposed vertical attachment bars in a half-width electronics rack or cabinet of accommodating height to enable vertical mounting of full-width electronics module in the half-width electronics rack or cabinet. The crossbars are used in opposed spaced-apart pairs with the full-width electronics module mounted vertically between the crossbars. Each crossbar includes a flat elongated main bar having five sets of three holes in a linear array, with the holes sized and spaced apart in accordance with industry standards for electronics racks. An attachment flange with a fastener opening extends from each end of the main bar and is delineated from the main bar by a notch. Between the notches, the same edge extends in a right-angle bend which further extends into a flange. Crossbars are provided in pairs, with or without packaging, racks, cabinets, and electronics modules.

主权项

1. A half-rack crossbar system for vertically mounting at least one full width electronics module in a half-width electronics rack, comprising:
a. a flat elongated main bar having only five sets of three holes in a linear array, wherein said five sets are delineated; b. first and second attachment flanges extending from first and second ends, respectively, of said flat elongated main bar; and c. first and second holes in said first and second attachment flanges, respectively, wherein said first and second holes are spaced apart to span a distance between parallel holes in first and second opposed attachment bars in said half-width electronics rack.
