Patent number: 9572278Abstract: The invention pertains to a system for mounting components to a rack comprising brackets that can be mounted to the rear of the rack through the opening in the front of rack before the component is inserted into the slot and mating sleeves running along the sides of the components. The brackets include arms that extend forwardly towards the front of the slot. After the brackets are attached, the component can be slid into the slot from the front with the sleeves sliding over and engaging the brackets. In this manner, the component can be slid into a slot on the rack with the brackets sliding into the sleeves, thereby providing support for the component along a substantial portion of the depth of the component without the need to bolt or otherwise fixedly attach the component to the bracket after the component is in the rack. Accordingly, a component can be installed in a rack without the need for any access except from the front of the rack.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: James Joseph Eberle, Jr., Michael Jon Kepko, Jeffrey Dean Shipe, Sean Patrick Kelly, Bruce Eltringham Barry, Kenneth C.
