DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figures lA and lB, the assembly includes the cabinet 2, which is shown partly broken away at Figure lA, having an optional work table 4 secured thereto and the console 6 secured to the cabinet 2 behind the work table 4 as shown in Figure 3C. As shown at the left hand side of Figure lA, a pair of rails 8 and 10 separated by a slot longitudinally extend into and out of the plane of the drawing, the length of the rails being approximately equal to the depth of the work table and the console in this embodiment, and are secured to the work table ~
by means of a threaded bolt 12 which engages the internal threads of a sleeve 14, which sleeve is received in a circular aperture in the work table 4 by means of a press fit or the like. The work table 4 may be made of wood or other similar material or of metal and, if of metal, the sleeve 14 is externally threaded into a threaded aperture in the work -table 4.
As shown in Figure 3C and as discussed above, there are typically two pairs oE spaced parallel rails (8, l0 and 8', l0') where the work table is secured to both pairs of rails as shown in Figure 3C.
Each of the rails 8 and 10 may be an extrusion and may have a depending portion 16 and 18 forming a partial trackway ~0 and 22 therein which receives a substantially ~ -shaped slider ~73~
24 having a central aperture 26 therein through which the bolt 12 passes. In particular, as can best be seen in Figure 4, each rail includes a first horizontal extending leg 8a with one end adjacent the slot and the other end integral with a second leg 8b projecting downwardly from the first leg, a third leg 8c integral with the second leg projecting toward the second leg 8b of the other rail of the pair and a fourth leg 8d integral with the third leg and projecting toward the Eirst leg 8a. The second, third, and fourth legs of the rails define the trackways 20 and 26 under each of the Eirst legs 8a. Slider 24 has a first portion 24a with aperture 26 therein aligned with the slit between the pair of rails 8 and 10 and two downwardly extending portions 24b and 24c to form the L - shape of slider 24. Each downward portion 24b and 2~c is received by its respective trackway 20 and 22 of the rails.
Referring to Figure 2, the console 6 is shown having a pair of T-shaped slots 28 and 30 in the bot-tom thereof as well as the T-shaped slots 32 and 34, which latter slots are in the top of a pair of base members 36 and 38, respectively, forming the bottom of the console and where members 36 and 38 may be ex~
trusions and where slots 28, 30, 32 and 34 extend the lengths of their respective members.
The co~sole also includes an extrusion 55 (Figure 2) forming the top thereof. Side plates 50 and 51 are secured to the ends of extrusions 55, 36 and 38 via screws 53 which are threaded into tubular portions 57 on the extrusions, which ~3~
. --portions also e~tend the length of their extrusions.
A pair of bars 40 and 42, as shown in Figure 3, may be secured to the extrusions 36 and 38 by means of the bolts 44 which engage the nuts 46 in the T-shaped slots 32 and 34. The bars 40 and 42 are optionally employed to raise the level of the bed of the console to thereby support equipment items in an elevated position with respect to the extrusions 36 and 38.
Referring to Figure 4, the mounting of the console 6 on the cabinet 2 is shown in detail.
Similarly to Figure 1, the substantially L -shaped slider 24 has the depending arms 20 and 22 received in the portions 16 and 18 of the rails 8 and 10 where the length oE the slider perpendicular to the plane o the paper may be about 1 inch and the width about 1 1/4 inch in the plane of the paper as illustrated in Figures lC and 4A.
A nut 48 is inserted within the T-shaped slot 30 either prior to attaching the end plate 50 to the console 6 or subse-quent to removing it therefrom. The nut is then slid into the T-shaped slot until it is positioned over the aperture in slider 24. The nut 48 is threadedly engaged with the bolt 52 which bolt 52, when turned down, will engage the nut 48 against the bottom - side 54 of the T-shaped slot 30 and thereby secure the L -shaped slider in position.
From the oregoing, i-t is apparent that inasmuch as the L -shaped slider 24 having the arms 20 and 22 may be moved longitudinally into and out of -the plane of the drawing by /, , ~
-releasing the bolt 52 and the console 6 may be moved transversely in the plane of the paper along the slots 28 and 30 with respect to the cabinet 2 when the bolt 52 is released, the console 6 may be moved in two orthogonal directions with respect to the cabinet 2. Generally speaking, -the console 6 will be secured to the cabinet 2 by four sliders 24 and four bolts 52 and nuts 48 as shown in Figure 3C, although only one is shown in Figure 4.
Referring to Figure 2, the extrusion 55 has a pair of longitudinal slots 56 and 58 therein which also extend the length of the extrusion. Various equipment items may be secured to the top of the console 6 in the slots 56 and 58 by using the nut shown in Figure 5 and the nut and headless bolt assembly shown in Figure 6.
Referring to Figure 5, the nut 60 has an elongated shape and a threaded central aperture 62 therein. The width of the nut 60 is such that the nut may be dropped into slot 56 or 58 from -the top and then turned to an approximately 45 angle such that it cannot be removed from the T-shaped slot through the top.
The nut 60 is shown in i-ts secured position in the ~-shaped groove 5~ in Figure 6 where the headless bolt 64 isthreaded into the aperture 62 in the nut 60, thereby pulling the nut 60 upwardly to engage with the upper portions 66 of the T-shaped slot 58. A nut 68 threaded onto the headless bolt 64 will thus force the washer 70 against an equipment item 72 to be secured in place. Alternatively, an ordinary headed bolt may be employed instead of the headless bolt 64, if desired.
Q, ~ .
~.?~73~
From the foregoing, it is apparent that the present invention provides a method of connecting equipment components which is easy to use and permits rapid orthogonal movement of equipment components with respect to each o-ther. Further, additional equipment components may be secured to the top of the console by means of the elongated nut and headless bolt disclosed herein whereby it is unnecessary to remove the end plates from the console to remove the elongated nut from the T-shaped slot in the top oE the console, thereby facilitating rapid attachment and detachment of equipment items to the top of the console.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that many modifications may be made within the scope of the present inven-tion without departing from the spirit thereof, and the invention includes all such modifications.

Referring to Figures lA and lB, the assembly includes the cabinet 2, which is shown partly broken away at Figure lA, having an optional work table 4 secured thereto and the console 6 secured to the cabinet 2 behind the work table 4 as shown in Figure 3C. As shown at the left hand side of Figure lA, a pair of rails 8 and 10 separated by a slot longitudinally extend into and out of the plane of the drawing, the length of the rails being approximately equal to the depth of the work table and the console in this embodiment, and are secured to the work table ~
by means of a threaded bolt 12 which engages the internal threads of a sleeve 14, which sleeve is received in a circular aperture in the work table 4 by means of a press fit or the like. The work table 4 may be made of wood or other similar material or of metal and, if of metal, the sleeve 14 is externally threaded into a threaded aperture in the work -table 4.
As shown in Figure 3C and as discussed above, there are typically two pairs oE spaced parallel rails (8, l0 and 8', l0') where the work table is secured to both pairs of rails as shown in Figure 3C.
Each of the rails 8 and 10 may be an extrusion and may have a depending portion 16 and 18 forming a partial trackway ~0 and 22 therein which receives a substantially ~ -shaped slider ~73~
24 having a central aperture 26 therein through which the bolt 12 passes. In particular, as can best be seen in Figure 4, each rail includes a first horizontal extending leg 8a with one end adjacent the slot and the other end integral with a second leg 8b projecting downwardly from the first leg, a third leg 8c integral with the second leg projecting toward the second leg 8b of the other rail of the pair and a fourth leg 8d integral with the third leg and projecting toward the Eirst leg 8a. The second, third, and fourth legs of the rails define the trackways 20 and 26 under each of the Eirst legs 8a. Slider 24 has a first portion 24a with aperture 26 therein aligned with the slit between the pair of rails 8 and 10 and two downwardly extending portions 24b and 24c to form the L - shape of slider 24. Each downward portion 24b and 2~c is received by its respective trackway 20 and 22 of the rails.
Referring to Figure 2, the console 6 is shown having a pair of T-shaped slots 28 and 30 in the bot-tom thereof as well as the T-shaped slots 32 and 34, which latter slots are in the top of a pair of base members 36 and 38, respectively, forming the bottom of the console and where members 36 and 38 may be ex~
trusions and where slots 28, 30, 32 and 34 extend the lengths of their respective members.
The co~sole also includes an extrusion 55 (Figure 2) forming the top thereof. Side plates 50 and 51 are secured to the ends of extrusions 55, 36 and 38 via screws 53 which are threaded into tubular portions 57 on the extrusions, which ~3~
. --portions also e~tend the length of their extrusions.
A pair of bars 40 and 42, as shown in Figure 3, may be secured to the extrusions 36 and 38 by means of the bolts 44 which engage the nuts 46 in the T-shaped slots 32 and 34. The bars 40 and 42 are optionally employed to raise the level of the bed of the console to thereby support equipment items in an elevated position with respect to the extrusions 36 and 38.
Referring to Figure 4, the mounting of the console 6 on the cabinet 2 is shown in detail.
Similarly to Figure 1, the substantially L -shaped slider 24 has the depending arms 20 and 22 received in the portions 16 and 18 of the rails 8 and 10 where the length oE the slider perpendicular to the plane o the paper may be about 1 inch and the width about 1 1/4 inch in the plane of the paper as illustrated in Figures lC and 4A.
A nut 48 is inserted within the T-shaped slot 30 either prior to attaching the end plate 50 to the console 6 or subse-quent to removing it therefrom. The nut is then slid into the T-shaped slot until it is positioned over the aperture in slider 24. The nut 48 is threadedly engaged with the bolt 52 which bolt 52, when turned down, will engage the nut 48 against the bottom - side 54 of the T-shaped slot 30 and thereby secure the L -shaped slider in position.
From the oregoing, i-t is apparent that inasmuch as the L -shaped slider 24 having the arms 20 and 22 may be moved longitudinally into and out of -the plane of the drawing by /, , ~
-releasing the bolt 52 and the console 6 may be moved transversely in the plane of the paper along the slots 28 and 30 with respect to the cabinet 2 when the bolt 52 is released, the console 6 may be moved in two orthogonal directions with respect to the cabinet 2. Generally speaking, -the console 6 will be secured to the cabinet 2 by four sliders 24 and four bolts 52 and nuts 48 as shown in Figure 3C, although only one is shown in Figure 4.
Referring to Figure 2, the extrusion 55 has a pair of longitudinal slots 56 and 58 therein which also extend the length of the extrusion. Various equipment items may be secured to the top of the console 6 in the slots 56 and 58 by using the nut shown in Figure 5 and the nut and headless bolt assembly shown in Figure 6.
Referring to Figure 5, the nut 60 has an elongated shape and a threaded central aperture 62 therein. The width of the nut 60 is such that the nut may be dropped into slot 56 or 58 from -the top and then turned to an approximately 45 angle such that it cannot be removed from the T-shaped slot through the top.
The nut 60 is shown in i-ts secured position in the ~-shaped groove 5~ in Figure 6 where the headless bolt 64 isthreaded into the aperture 62 in the nut 60, thereby pulling the nut 60 upwardly to engage with the upper portions 66 of the T-shaped slot 58. A nut 68 threaded onto the headless bolt 64 will thus force the washer 70 against an equipment item 72 to be secured in place. Alternatively, an ordinary headed bolt may be employed instead of the headless bolt 64, if desired.
