Patent ID: 7637771

Claim:
A system for a component rack having opposing spaced apart upright members, a first component and a second component each being coupled to and extending laterally between the upright members, the first component being coupled to the upright members at a location spaced from the second component, the system comprising: a panel couplable to at least one of the upright members at a location adjacent the first component and the second component, the panel having a plurality of coupling locations each having a plurality of keyways arranged in a first circular pattern and a plurality of nub receiving areas arranged in a second circular pattern, each of the plurality of keyways having a coupling portion adjacent a receiving portion; and a plurality of elongated members configured to be coupled to selected ones of the plurality of coupling locations of the panel, each of the plurality of elongated members comprising a plurality of key portions receivable inside the receiving portions of the plurality of keyways of a selected coupling location, when so received, the plurality of key portions being rotatable from the receiving portions to the coupling portions whereat the plurality of key portions are operable to couple the elongated member to the panel, each of the plurality of elongated members further comprising a plurality of nubs receivable inside the plurality of nub receiving areas of the selected coupling location when the plurality of key portions are located inside the coupling portions of the plurality of keyways of the selected coupling location, each of the plurality of elongated members being configured to extend away from the panel when coupled to one of the plurality of coupling locations of the panel.
