Abstract:
1. A mounting apparatus for mounting a slide rail to an electronic equipment cabinet with a support, the apparatus comprising: a mounting bracket slidably engaging with the slide rail defining at least one receiving portion therein, and comprising at least one post capable of extending into a through hole of the support; a locking member comprising a positioning portion fixed to the mounting bracket, a resisting portion formed at an end of the locking member opposite to the positioning portion and capable of resisting against the support to prevent the post from exiting from the support through hole, and an arm connected between the positioning portion and the resisting portion; and a supporting member movably located between the locking member and the mounting bracket, wherein the supporting member comprises a wedge-shaped portion extending through the mounting bracket towards the slide rail; when the mounting bracket slides relative to the slide rail, the wedge-shaped portion is selectively pressed by the slide rail to drive the locking member resisting portion to resist against the support, or received in the slide rail receiving portion to disengage the locking member resisting portion from the support; wherein the arm is bent with a recessed surface facing the mounting bracket; when the wedge-shaped portion is received in the receiving portion, the locking member resisting portion aligns with a gap between the support and the mounting bracket thereby releasing the mounting bracket from the support.
