  • Patent number: 6616524
    Abstract: A raised floor air handling system for use in a building that is used in combination with and set into an elevated floor assembly that is mounted on a principal floor of a building so as to provide an air plenum between the two floors. An air handling assembly is mounted below an integral raised or elevated floor tile to pull air via a radial impeller fan from the air plenum and directs it vertically through the integral raised floor tile into air distribution ducting (flexible, anti-static fabric with nozzles, linear vents, or other types of perforations) and onto the equipment/location being served air. The raised floor tile is designed to match the load rating of other floor tiles to become an integral part of the elevated floor assembly. The ducting attaches to the top of the raised floor tile via removable duct collars and is supported vertically/horizontally by miscellaneous hardware attached to existing/new structures.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020026753
    Abstract: A rack assembly for supporting electronic units which includes a generally rectangular frame having reinforcing plates welded thereto to extend outwardly therefrom, and a reinforced mounting portion disposed at the lower end of the frame and having a length corresponding generally to the height of the vertical spacing between a permanent floor and secondary flooring disposed above the permanent flooring so that the mounting portion can be secured directly to the permanent flooring and pass upwardly through an opening in the secondary flooring. A plurality of the rack assemblies may be arranged in side-by-side relationship in a room, and the reinforcing plates of adjacent rack assemblies provide wire management channels.
