DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pedestal of a rack for mounting a large number of servers each having a stanchion on a pedestal and a shelf attached to the stanchion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, a rack is fixed to a floor by first mounting a floor stand 32 on a pedestal 31, as shown in FIGS. The floor stand 32
In the shape that the screw part 34 is erected on the part 33 that is in contact with the floor surface,
The screw part 34 is attached to the pedestal 31 of the rack 35.
Then, a floor stand fixing bracket 36 provided with a cutout 35 for sandwiching the screw portion 34 of the floor stand 32 is fitted, and an anchor bolt is driven into an anchor hole 37 provided in the floor stand fixing bracket 36 to fix the floor stand. Was.

[0003]

However, the rack 35 according to the above-mentioned prior art has a large number of components for fixing to the floor surface, and the component management is complicated. Further, since the rack 35 is fixed to the floor via the floor stand 32 and the floor stand fixing bracket 36, it cannot be said that the fixing method is stable. In addition, since the floor stand 32 for fixing the rack 35 and the floor stand fixing bracket 36 are exposed, the appearance is impaired.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rack which can be stably fixed to a floor, and the structure of the rack is a direct floor surface such as an end of a pedestal or a floor stand. An anchor hole is provided in a portion in contact with the base, an anchor bolt is driven into the anchor hole, and the pedestal and the floor stand are directly fixed to the floor surface.

Further, a cap for covering an anchor hole provided in the base can be attached.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The rack according to the present invention is provided with an anchor hole at an end of a pedestal or a floor stand. Insert the anchor bolts into the anchor holes and place them on the floor to fix the rack.

[0007] A cap having a locking projection and a screw insertion hole is provided near an anchor hole provided in the pedestal. A locking projection is formed in the locking hole, and a locking projection is formed in the screw hole. The insertion holes are opposed to each other and attached to the pedestal and screwed to cover the anchor portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a rack according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, a rack 1 has a pedestal 2 on which a support 3 is erected, a shelf 4 is mounted on the support 3, and a number of servers are mounted on the shelf 4 for use. Pedestal 2 usually
A caster 5 is attached so as to be easily moved, while a floor stand 6 for stably setting the floor is provided. As shown in FIG. 2, the rack 1 according to the present invention has anchor holes 7 at both ends of the pedestal 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rack 8 has a pedestal 9 and a floor stand 10 attached thereto. The floor stand 10 has an anchor hole 11 at a portion in contact with the floor surface.
Is provided. The floor stand 10 is attached with the anchor hole 11 inside the rack 8.

To install the rack 1, the casters 5 are moved to the installation position, and the casters 5 and the floor stand 6 are removed. An anchor bolt is driven into anchor holes 11 provided at both ends of the pedestal 2, and the anchor bolt is tightened and fixed with a nut. Thus, the rack 1 is fixed to the floor.

To install the rack 8, the rack 8 is moved to the installation position using the casters 12. An anchor bolt is driven into an anchor hole 11 provided in the floor stand 10,
Anchor bolts are fixed with nuts. Thus, the rack 8 is fixed to the floor.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a modified embodiment according to the present invention. To install a rack, the caster 13 is moved to an installation position, and the casters 13 and the floor stand 14 are removed. An anchor bolt is driven into anchor holes 16 provided at both ends of the base 15, and the anchor bolt is tightened and fixed with a nut. A locking hole 17 and a screw hole 18 are provided near an anchor hole 16 provided in the pedestal 15. A cap 21 having a locking projection 19 and a screw insertion hole 20 facing the locking hole 17 and the screw hole 18 is attached to an end of the pedestal 15 with a screw 22 to cover the anchor hole 16 and the like.

[0014]

According to the rack of the present invention, an anchor hole is provided in a portion directly in contact with the floor surface, such as an end of a pedestal or a floor stand, and an anchor bolt is driven into the anchor hole to directly attach the pedestal or the floor stand to the floor. Because it is fixed to a surface, seismic performance can be improved. It is not necessary to use a component such as a floor stand fixing bracket conventionally used, so that the number of components can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0015] Further, since a cap for covering the anchor hole provided in the pedestal can be attached, the anchor portion can be covered and the appearance is not impaired.
