Abstract: A hardware assembly for installation in a slide-type mounting rail of an electronic equipment enclosure includes a spring retainer and a hardware component received at least partially within the spring retainer. The spring retainer has a rear wall and a deflectable spring arm extending in a forward direction from each end of the rear wall. Each spring arm includes a distal end that extends inward toward the distal end of the other spring arm. The hardware component includes a generally oblong head and a plurality of cam bosses arranged at a front-facing side thereof. Each spring arm engages and is partially deflected outward by a respective one of the cam bosses, thereby clamping the hardware component within the spring retainer.

Abstract: A method of securing a structure against a slide-type mounting rail of an electronic equipment enclosure includes: providing a hardware assembly having a spring retainer and bolt, a head of which is received at least partially within the spring retainer; positioning the hardware assembly within a T-slot channel of the slide-type mounting rail such that bent edges of deflectable spring arms engage ledges of the T-slot channel to prevent the retainer from rotation; configuring the bolt from an unlocked position to a locked position by rotating the bolt a quarter turn relative to the retainer to position the head transversely within the channel, thereby obstructing the hardware assembly from inadvertent removal from the slide-type mounting rail; placing the structure against the slide-type mounting rail such that a shaft extends through an aperture; and tightening a nut onto the shaft such that the nut is pressed firmly against the structure.
