Patent ID: 8801122

Claim:
A mounting system for supporting electronic equipment, comprising: a support structure dimensioned for supporting multiple pieces of electronic equipment in a vertically stacked configuration; and a vertically segmented rail assembly, interconnected to said support structure, including a first rail segment subassembly, said first rail segment subassembly having a first mounting surface, inwardly extending in a horizontal plane transverse to a front-to-back depth axis of said support structure for mounting a first piece of electronic equipment by attachment of a front surface of said first piece of equipment to said first mounting surface, and a second rail segment subassembly, vertically offset from said first rail segment subassembly, said second rail segment subassembly having a second mounting surface, inwardly extending in a horizontal plane transverse to said depth axis of said support structure, for mounting a second piece of electronic equipment by attachment of a front surface of said second piece of equipment to said second mounting surface, said first rail segment subassembly being moveable with respect to said depth axis of said support structure in relation to said second rail segment subassembly; wherein said first rail segment subassembly comprises a mounting structure including said first mounting surface for attachment to said first piece of electronic equipment and a horizontal rail assembly, connected to said support structure, for slidably engaging said mounting structure; and wherein said mounting structure can be slidably disengaged from said horizontal rail assembly such that said first piece of electronic equipment is removed from said support structure.
