Rack for electronic apparatus

A rack for storing electronic devices, comprising:

• a rack body comprising a plurality of sidewalls, a bottom frame secured to the sidewalls, and a stopping piece attached to and extending downwardly from the bottom frame;
• two latch members secured to and extending downwardly from the bottom frame of the rack body;
• and a supporting assembly comprising two sliding levers, a blocking plate, and a supporting member, each of the two sliding levers being slidably engaged in each of the two latch members, the blocking plate and the supporting member being secured to opposite ends of the two sliding levers, wherein the supporting assembly is extendable and retractable relative to the rack body between a first position and a second position via the two sliding levers;
• in the first position, the supporting member extends out from the rack body and is spaced apart from the stopping member wherein in the first position, the supporting member is rotatable relative to the two sliding levers between a horizontal position and a vertical position to provide a wider base for the rack when the rack body rests on a floor in order to increase the stability of the rack and decrease the likelihood that the rack might topple, and the blocking plate abuts the two latch members;
• and in the second position, the supporting member is retracted underneath the rack body and secured to the stopping piece, and the blocking plate is spaced apart from the two latch members.

A rack, comprising:

• a rack body;
• two latch members secured to the rack body;
• and a supporting assembly comprising two sliding levers, a blocking plate, and a supporting member, each of the two sliding levers being slidably engaged in a corresponding latch member, the blocking plate and the supporting member being secured to opposite ends of the two sliding levers, wherein the supporting assembly is extendable and retractable relative to the rack body between a first position and a second position;
• in the first position, the supporting member extends out from the rack body to provide a wider base for the rack when the rack body rests on a floor, wherein the supporting member is rotatable relative to the two sliding levers, and the blocking plate abuts the two latch members;
• and in the second position, the supporting member is retracted underneath the rack body, and the blocking plate is spaced apart from the two latch members;
• the supporting member comprises a fastening piece;
• a stopping piece is located on the rack body;
• when the supporting assembly is located in the first position, the fastening piece is disengaged from the stopping piece;
• and when the supporting assembly is located in the second position, the fastening piece abuts the stopping piece;
• the supporting member further comprises two pivot pieces, each of the two sliding levers comprises a flange, and each of the pivot pieces is pivotably secured to a corresponding flange;
• and
• the supporting assembly further comprises two fixing members, each flange defines a through hole, each of the two pivot pieces defines a pivot hole;
• when the supporting assembly is located in the second position, each fixing member extends through a corresponding through hole to be locked into a respective pivot hole to prevent the supporting member from rotating relative to the two sliding levers;
• when the supporting assembly is located in the first position, each fixing member is disengaged from the respective pivot hole, and the supporting member is rotatable relative to the two sliding levers to support the rack body.
