The rack mount comprises terminal adapters connectable to said first and second terminals. The rack mount comprises anchoring plug members insertable into said notches. Each terminal adapter has a claw insertable into a bore within said anchoring plug members. At least one crossbar with said terminal adapters connected to said first and second terminals of said at least one crossbar is releasably mountable in a bridge position between said first and second parallel spaced uprights. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A manually assemblable/disassemblable rack mount for a load comprising: a. a frame having first and second parallel spaced uprights arranged in a pair; each upright having a closed rectangular cross-section; said each upright comprising a side projection extending therefrom; said side projection having notches distributed along said side projection; b. at least one crossbar member having first and second terminals; said at least one crossbar member releasably securable between said first and second parallel spaced uprights; c. anchoring plug members sidewise insertable into corresponding notches of said notches on said projections of said first and second uprights; each crossbar member is provided with a pair of terminal adapters connectable to said first and second terminals, respectively; each terminal adapter has a claw insertable into a bore within each anchoring plug member, respectively; said at least one crossbar member with said terminal adapters connected to said first and second terminals of said at least one crossbar member is releasably mountable in a bridge position between said first and second parallel spaced uprights by inserting said claws of said first and second terminal adapters into said bores within said anchoring plug members being mounted in said notches. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The rack mount according to claim 1, said first and second parallel spaced uprights are made of a hollow beam of a close profile. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The rack mount according to claim 1, wherein any one of said first and second terminals of said at least one crossbar member and the corresponding terminal adapter have cooperatively configured male and female members releasably connectable to each other. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The rack mount according to claim 3, said male and female members are slidably connected to each other. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The rack mount according to claim 3, said male and female members are threadly connected to each other. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The rack mount according to claim 3, wherein at least one of said uprights, at least one crossbar member, terminal adapters, anchoring plug members and plates is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a metal alloy, a composite material, a plastic material, wood and any combination thereof. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The rack mount according to claim 3, wherein at least one pair of said terminal adapters is configured for securing said crossbar member to said uprights at an arbitrary angle thereto. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The rack mount according to claim 7, each of said at least one pair of said terminal adapters comprises a housing having internal surfaces forming a female slot for securing said terminals of said crossbar member therewithin and a rotatable locking member configured for locking said terminals within said female slot; said locking member comprises a shaft portion having a latching cam on a terminal thereof which is insertable into a bore within said housing and a handle portion orthogonal to said shaft portion; each said handle portion has a claw on a terminal thereof into said bores within said anchoring plug members being mounted in said notches. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The rack mount according to claim 1 comprising at least one pair of plates for mounting telescopic slides; each of said at least one pair of said plates is mechanically connectable to said anchoring plug members being mounted in said notches. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The rack mount according to claim 9, said telescopic slides are provided with clamping members thereon; each of said at least one pair of said plates has at least one aperture configured for receiving said clamping members thereinto and securing said clamping members therewithin. ### Claim 11 A method of manually assembling a rack mount comprising steps of: a. providing a rack mount for a load comprising: i. a frame having first and second parallel spaced uprights arranged in a pair; each upright having a closed rectangular cross-section; said each upright comprising a side projection extending therefrom; said side projection having notches distributed along said side projection; ii. at least one crossbar member having first and second terminals; said at least one crossbar member releasably securable between said first and second parallel spaced uprights; iii. anchoring plug members sidewise insertable into corresponding notches from said notches on said side projections of said first and second uprights; each crossbar member is provided with a pair of terminal adapters connectable to said first and second terminals, respectively; each terminal adapter has a claw insertable into a bore within each anchoring plug member, respectively; said at least one crossbar member with said terminal adapters connected to said first and second terminals of said at least one crossbar member is releasably mountable in a bridge position between said first and second parallel spaced uprights by inserting said claws of said first and second terminals into said bores within said anchoring plug members being in said notches; b. positioning said uprights in a vertical position; c. connecting said terminal adapters to said first and second terminals of said at least one crossbar member; d. sidewise inserting said anchoring plug members into said corresponding notches from said notches on said side projections of said first and second uprights; e. mounting said at least one crossbar member by inserting said claws of said first and second terminals into said bores within said anchoring plug members. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, wherein said step of connecting said terminal adapters to said first and second terminals of said at least one crossbar member comprises releasably connecting male and female members to each other. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method according to claim 12, wherein said step of connecting said terminal adapters to said first and second terminals of said at least one crossbar member comprises inserting said terminals into a female slot formed by internal surfaces of said terminal adapters and locking said terminal by a rotatable locking member having a latching cam. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11 comprising a step of mounting telescopic slides on plates further comprising mounting anchoring plug members on said plates, inserting said anchoring plug members into said notches and clamping said telescopic slides within apertures of said plates.
