Patent ID: 7806277

Claim:
A slidable support for a support shelf in a rack system, the slidable support comprising: a plurality of fasteners, each fastener including a shaft and at least a first shoulder and a second shoulder; a first slide member operable to couple to a base of a support shelf of a rack system and operable to longitudinally translate relative to the base using one or more of at least two slots, each of the at least two slots adapted to receive one or more of the plurality of fasteners so that the one or more fasteners pass through each slot in a direction perpendicular to the direction of longitudinal translation, wherein at least a first one of the at least two slots and one or more first fasteners from the plurality of fasteners couple the base and the first slide member so that: the shaft of each of the first fasteners passes through the first slot in a direction perpendicular to the direction of longitudinal translation of the first slide member, the first shoulder of each of the first fasteners is on a first side of the first slot to engage the base, and the second shoulder of each of the first fasteners is on a second side of the first slot to engage the first slide member; and a second slide member operable to couple to the first slide member and operable to longitudinally translate relative to the first slide member using at least a second one of the at least two slots and one or more second fasteners from the plurality of fasteners that couple the first slide member and the second slide member, so that: the shaft of each of the second fasteners passes through the second slot in a direction perpendicular to the direction of longitudinal translation of the second slide member, the first shoulder of each of the second fasteners is on a first side of the second slot to engage the first slide member, and the second shoulder of each of the second fasteners is on a second side of the second slot to engage the second slide member, wherein the first slot is substantially parallel to the second slot of the at least two slots.
