Adjustable snap-in rail assembly for storage rack

摘要

A rail assembly for a storage rack that includes, in one aspect, a first rail member, a second rail member, and a nut assembly slidably mounted to the second rail member. The first rail member may include a first mounting aperture extending through a body of the first rail member and the second rail member may include a first mounting slot extending through a body of the second rail member for a predefined dimension along a longitudinal axis. The sliding nut assembly may be slidably mounted adjacent the first mounting slot to a longitudinal position aligned with the first mounting aperture such that a fastener may be received through the first mounting aperture and first mounting slot and threaded into the first nut assembly to lock the first and second rack members against relative movement and fix the rail assembly to the front and rear pillars.

主权项

1. A rail assembly for a computing device storage rack, comprising:
a first rail member including a first body, a first mounting tab extending from the first body that is configured to engage with one of a front or rear vertical pillar of a storage rack, and at least a first mounting aperture extending through the first body; a second rail member including a second body, a second mounting tab extending from the second body that is configured to engage with the other of the front and rear vertical pillar of the storage rack, at least a first mounting slot extending through the second body that extends along a longitudinal axis, and at least a first nut slidable over the first mounting slot along the longitudinal axis adjacent a first side of the second body, wherein the first and second bodies are slidably attached to each other for movement in first and second opposite directions so that the first aperture is slidable over the first mounting slot along the longitudinal axis adjacent an opposite second side of the second body, wherein the second rail member further includes a sliding nut assembly, and wherein the sliding nut assembly includes: a guide member that is rigidly attached to the second body over the first side of the at least one slot; and a carrier member including the first nut attached thereto, wherein the carrier member is slidable relative to the guide member to slidably position the first nut over the first mounting slot along the longitudinal axis adjacent the first side of the second body.
