Claims11
A mounting apparatus for slidably mounting a chassis to a shelf, comprising:
- two gears to be pivotably attached to one side surface of the chassis;
- a positioning structure arranged on the chassis aligning one of the gears, wherein the positioning structure comprises a shaft fixed to the chassis, a receiving member set around the shaft, a stop member set around the shaft and slidably, nonrotatably received in the receiving member, and a resilient member set around the shaft and received in the receiving member to bias the stop member toward the one of the gears, the stop member engages with a gear tooth of the one of the gears;
- wherein a mounting plate is fixed to the side surface of the chassis, a fixing plate is fixed to a front end surface of the chassis, the gears are pivotably attached to the mounting plate;
- wherein the positioning structure is arranged on the fixing plate and faces one of the gears, the shaft extends rearward from the fixing plate and
- a slide rail to be fixed on an inner side surface of the shelf, the slide rail comprising a rack meshing with the gears.
