Abstract
An adaptive mounting rail includes a base element with a first side and a second side, a plurality of rails disposed on the first side of the base element for mounting an electronic device, and a first adaptive mounting element disposed on the second side of the base element allowing to removably mount the mounting rail to a support mounting rail. Further, mounting assemblies including the adaptive mounting rail are described.
Claims15
An adaptive mounting rail for an electronic device comprising:
- a base element comprising a first side and a second side;
- a plurality of rails disposed on the first side of the base element for mounting an electronic device;
- and
- a first adaptive mounting element disposed on the second side of the base element allowing to removably mount the adaptive mounting rail to a support mounting rail,
- wherein the first adaptive mounting element comprises a top mounting hanger allowing the adaptive mounting rail to rest on a top rail of the support mounting rail, and
- wherein the plurality of rails comprises bottom rails comprising threaded surfaces, the bottom rails being arranged so that the threaded surfaces face each other and form a gap for receiving bolts or screws used to fasten an electronic device.

A mounting assembly for electronic devices comprising:
- an adaptive mounting rail comprising:
- a base element comprising a first side and a second side;
- a plurality of rails disposed on the first side of the base element;
- and
- a first adaptive mounting element disposed on the second side of the base element;
- and
- a support mounting rail comprising a top rail and bottom rails for mounting electronic devices, wherein the adaptive mounting rail is removably mounted to the support mounting rail by the first adaptive mounting element, and wherein one or more electronic devices are mountable to the adaptive mounting rail via the plurality of rails,
- wherein the adaptive mounting rail further comprises a second adaptive mounting element extending from the base element and comprising one or more openings for fastening the adaptive mounting rail to the support mounting rail, and
- wherein the bottom rails of the support mounting rail comprise opposite threaded surfaces, the threaded surfaces forming an interspace aligned with the openings of the adaptive mounting rail.
