EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT EQUIPMENT RACK

摘要

An earthquake resistant equipment rack (10) that includes multiple methods for reinforcing the equipment rack to resist seismic forces. The side rails (12) can include two inwardly projecting V portions extending the length of the rails to diffuse seismic forces by deflecting seismic forces vertically. The base (14) and top (16) are preferably formed from multiple components formed from sheet metal and having both overlapping multiple thickness of sheet metal and multiple box structures. A cover is non-removably attached to the base (14). In one embodiment, the cover has a dog house shape with inclined roof like surfaces.
