Abstract
The present invention relates to a bracket system for mounting a device bracket within an assembly comprising a plurality of chassis brackets, a mounting bracket assembly and a chassis base with a plurality of tabs. The chassis brackets have slots and the brackets are attached to the chassis base of the assembly. The mounting bracket assembly has a plurality of tapered mounting bracket assembly slots, and a plurality of horizontally-protruding pegs.
Claims18
A bracket system for mounting a device bracket within a computer assembly comprising:
- a plurality of chassis brackets with slots, said chassis brackets attached to a chassis base of said computer assembly;
- a mounting bracket assembly with a plurality of tapered mounting bracket assembly slots, and a plurality of horizontally-protruding pegs, wherein said chassis brackets are positioned laterally to said mounting bracket assembly so that said mounting bracket pegs frictionally engage said chassis bracket slots when a mounting bracket handle functionally engages rotation pegs on said chassis bracket;
- and
- a plurality of tabs on said chassis base.
A device mounting system, comprising:
- a chassis base including at least one vertical tab orientated in a lateral direction;
- a pair of parallel chassis brackets attached to said chassis base, each of said chassis brackets including at least one slotted opening in a vertical portion of said chassis brackets;
- and
- a mounting bracket assembly including a floor and a pair of opposing side walls, said floor including at least one tapered mounting bracket assembly slot that engages said vertical tab, each of said opposing side walls including at least one horizontally-protruding peg configured to engage said at least one slotted opening in said chassis bracket.
