    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Referring to FIG. 2, a server rack 3 is shown comprising four vertically columns 31 in four corners which can be magnetically attractive by magnets, and pairs of sliding rail 1 horizontally connected between the columns 31 at two sides for supporting servers at different elevations. These two sliding rails 1 are installed in the server rack 3 in the same manner. The installation of one sliding rail 1 in the server rack 3 is explained hereinafter for understanding of the present invention.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the sliding rail 1 has an angled end flange 11 at each end. The angled end flange 11 has two mounting holes 111 and a locating hole 112. The mounting holes 111 are respectively and equally spaced above and below the locating hole 112. Preferably, the mounting holes 111 and the locating hole 112 are transversely extended oblong holes. The angled end flange 11 is connected to one column 31 through a spring clip 2.
  • Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 and FIG. 3 again, the spring clip 2 comprises a left clamping plate 21, a right clamping plate 22, a ridge 24 joining the left clamping plate 21 and the right clamping plate 22, and a breach-opening 23 defined between the left clamping plate 21 and the right clamping plate 22. The ridge 24 is opposite to the breach-opening 23. The left clamping plate 21 has two through holes 211 respectively disposed near the top and bottom sides, and two protruded portions 212 respectively extended along the border of the through holes 211 and protruding from the inner side in direction toward the right clamping plate 22, each protruded portion 212 having a top sloping edge 213 sloping downwards from the top of corresponding protruded portion 212 toward the breach-opening 23, a locating pin 214 perpendicularly extended from the outer side on the middle and equally spaced between the through holes 211. The right clamping plate 22 has two fixed fastening members, for example, screwed nuts 221 perpendicularly extended from the outer side corresponding to the two through holes 211 of the left clamping plate 21, and a retaining spring block 222 protruded from the inner side and protruding toward the left clamping plate 21. The ridge 24 has three through holes 241 that enable the user to open the clamping plates 21,22 with less effort.
  • Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 1˜FIG. 5 again, during installation, bend the clamping plates 21,22 outwards to open the breach-opening 23 for enabling the spring clip 2 to be clamped on the angled end flange 11 at one end of the sliding rail 1. At this time, the top sloping edge 213 guides the respective protruded portion 212 of the left clamping plate 21 into the respective mounting hole 111 at the angled end flange 11 of the sliding rail 1, keeping the two through holes 211 of the left clamping plate 21 and the screwed nuts 221 of the right clamping plate 22 respectively aimed at the mounting holes 111 of the angled end flange 11 and the retaining spring block 222 of the right clamping plate 22 engaged into the locating hole 112 of the angled end flange 11. Because the mounting holes 111 and the locating hole 112 are transversely extended oblong holes, the spring clip 2 can be moved horizontally relative to the sliding rail 1 within the constraint of the oblong mounting holes 111 and locating hole 112. Of course, it is workable to have each mounting hole 111 or the locating hole 112 designed to be a circular or rectangular hole.
  • After connection of the spring clip 2 to the angled end flange 11 of the sliding rail 1, the spring clip 2 is attached with the sliding rail 1 to the column 31 to insert the locating pin 214 into one circular mounting hole 311 at the column 31 (the column 31 is an angle bar having two longitudinal series of circular mounting holes 311 in the two sidewalls), and then two screws 4 are respectively inserted through the adjacent top and bottom circular through holes 311 at the column 31 and the two through holes 211 of the left clamping plate 21 and then respectively threaded into the screwed nuts 221 of the right clamping plate 22.
  • As indicated above, the spring clip 2 can be directly plugged into one circular mounting hole 311 of the column 31 during installation, and the protruded portions 212 of the left clamping plate 21 and the retaining spring block 222 of the right clamping plate 22 can be respectively engaged into the mounting holes 111 and locating hole 112 of the angled end flange 11 of the sliding rail 1 during installation. Therefore, one person can easily and quickly install the sliding rail 1 in the server rack.
  • FIG. 8 shows a sliding rail mounting arrangement according to a second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is substantially similar to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3˜FIG. 7 with the exception of the use of a packing plate 52 between the column, referenced by 51, and the spring clip, referenced by 53. The column 51 has rectangular mounting holes 511. The spring clip 53 is substantially same as the spring clip 2 shown in FIG. 3˜FIG. 7. The packing plate 52 has backwardly protruded top and bottom lugs 521 for engaging into the rectangular mounting holes 511 of the column 51, and a circular center through hole 522 for receiving the locating pin 531 of the spring clip 53.
  • FIG. 9 shows a sliding rail mounting arrangement according to a third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is substantially similar to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3˜FIG. 7 with the exception of the use of a retaining clamp 61. The retaining clamp 61 has a circular center through hole 611 for receiving the locating pin 631 of the spring clip, referenced by 63. During installation, the retaining clamp 61 is fastened to one rectangular mounting hole 621, and then locating pin 631 of the spring clip 63 is inserted into the respective rectangular mounting hole 621 of the column 62 and the circular center through hole 611 of the retaining clamp 61.
  • As indicated above, the invention enables the sliding rail to be conveniently and quickly be installed in columns 31 having circular mounting holes 311 or columns 51,62 having rectangular mounting holes 511,621 by one person.
  • Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
