STACKING BRACKET

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus for supporting stacking of a top heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit on top of a bottom HVAC unit. The apparatus includes a base member configured to mount to a top cover of the bottom HVAC unit. The base member comprises an upper base portion with a top surface configured to receive at least a portion of a base rail of the top HVAC unit. The apparatus further comprises a stacking insert extending away from the base member. The stacking insert has one or more sloped surfaces extending above the top surface of the upper base portion. The top surface extends from a base of the one or more sloped surfaces in a plane substantially parallel to the top cover, when the base member is mounted to the top cover of the bottom HVAC unit.

主权项

1. An apparatus for supporting stacking of a top heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit on a bottom HVAC unit, the apparatus comprising:
a base member configured to couple to a top cover of the bottom HVAC unit, with the base member comprising an top surface disposed within a first plane and configured to receive at least a portion of the base rail of the top HVAC unit; and a raised insert portion extending above the first surface, the raised insert portion comprising:
one or more ramp surfaces, each ramp surface comprising:
a first end disposed within the first plane; anda second end disposed at a first height above the first plane; andone or more impact surfaces, each comprising:
a bottom edge adjoined to a second end of a ramp surface; anda top edge; wherein each of the one or more ramp surfaces is configured to be positioned adjacent to an inner wall of a base rail of the top HVAC unit; wherein each of the one or more ramp surfaces extends in a direction substantially parallel to the respective adjacent inner wall of the base rail of the HVAC unit; and wherein each of the one or more impact surfaces is configured to face an inner wall of a base rail of the top HVAC unit.
