  • Permanently attached rackmount handles and spacing brackets
    Patent number: 6616252
    Abstract: A chassis for use in housing heavy electrical equipment is provided with lifting devices for attachment of the chassis to a telescoping rail assembly, such as may be found on a conventional EIA equipment rack. The chassis includes a housing with a sidewall having a recessed wall to which handles and support brackets are permanently attached. The handles are hingedly connected to the recessed wall and may be pivoted over an arc between an extended position that is suitable for lifting operations and a retracted position adjacent the recessed wall. The support brackets may be selectively rotated between an assembly position that supports the chassis atop the telescoping rail assembly and a position of normal use that does not interfere with depthwise extensile and de-extensile motion of the telescoping rail assembly and chassis.
