  • Patent number: 11871847
    Abstract: An apparatus including a bracket, an upper rack engagement tab, a lower rack engagement tab; and a lock pin hole. The bracket has a rack attachment member and a guard attachment member. The lock pin hole is defined by the rack attachment member and structured to receive a lock pin having a stabilizing leg coupled to a lock pin head. Each engagement tab is coupled to the rack attachment member. Each engagement tab includes a stem portion coupled to the rack attachment member and a head portion having a greater cross-sectional area than the stem portion. The guard attachment member defines a guard attachment hole positioned at a rack guard spacing distance from the rack attachment member, and the stabilizing leg has a geometry such that the lock pin head is urged toward the lock pin hole when the stabilizing leg is passed through the lock pin hole.

  • Patent number: 11564491
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a bracket having a rack attachment member and a guard attachment member, and upper and lower engagement tabs that are coupled to the rack attachment member and have a stem portion and a head portion. The rack attachment member has a lock pin hole above the lower rack engagement tab. The lock pin hole is sized and positioned to provide sufficient cross-sectional area within a rack engagement distance to allow passage of a bracket lock pin therethrough within the rack engagement distance. The apparatus further includes a bracket lock pin having a stabilizing leg coupled to a lock pin head, where the stabilizing leg fits through the lock pin hole and the lock pin head does not. The stabilizing leg urges the lock pin head toward the lock pin hole when the stabilizing leg is passed through the lock pin hole.
