Server cabinet
View Patent ↗A server cabinet includes a top wall and two sidewalls. The top wall defines a T-shaped first slot and a T-shaped second slot adjacent to each sidewall. Each first slot adjacent to one sidewall aligns with a second slot adjacent to the other sidewall. Each first slot includes a first channel extending through the corresponding sidewall and a first receiving slot communicating with the first channel. Each second slot includes a second channel extending through the corresponding sidewall and a second receiving slot communicating with the second channel. A T-shaped mounting member is pivotably mounted in each first channel. Each mounting member includes a pivot portion received in the first channel and a locking portion formed from one end of the pivot portion and capable of being received and secured in the first receiving slot.
1. A server cabinet, comprising:
a top wall, and a first sidewall and a second sidewall extending down from opposite sides of the top wall, wherein the top wall defines a first slot and a second slot adjacent to each of the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the first slots and the second slots are substantially T-shaped, the first slot adjacent to the first sidewall aligns with a corresponding second slot adjacent to the second sidewall, the second slot adjacent to the first sidewall aligns with a corresponding first slot adjacent to the second sidewall, wherein each first slot adjacent to the first sidewall or the second sidewall comprises a first channel, extending through the first sidewall or the second sidewall, and a first receiving slot, communicating with the first channel; and each second slot adjacent to the first sidewall or the second sidewall comprises a second channel, extending through the first sidewall or the second sidewall, and a second receiving slot, communicating with the second channel; and
two substantially T-shaped mounting members each comprising a pivot portion pivotably received in the first channel of a corresponding one of the first slot; and a locking portion, extending from the pivot portion, capable of being received in the first receiving slot;
wherein a screw hole is defined in a bottom wall of the first receiving slot, a mounting hole is defined in a center of each locking portion, and a fastener extends through the mounting hole.
2. The server cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the shape and size of the first receiving slots are same as the shape and size of the second receiving slots.
3. An assembly, comprising:
a server cabinet and a neighboring server cabinet arranged side by side, each of the server cabinet and the neighboring server cabinet comprising a top wall, and a sidewall extending down from a side of the top wall, the sidewall of the server cabinet contacting with the sidewall of the neighboring server cabinet, the top wall of the server cabinet defining a first slot and a second slot, both adjacent to the sidewall of the server cabinet, the first slot and the second slot of the server cabinet both being substantially T-shaped, the top wall of the neighboring server cabinet defining a first slot and a second slot, both adjacent to the sidewall of the neighboring server cabinet and aligning with the second slot and the first slot of the server cabinet respectively, the first slot and the second slot of the neighboring server cabinet both being substantially T-shaped, the first slot of the server cabinet comprising a first channel extending through the sidewall of the server cabinet, and a first receiving slot communicating with the first channel opposite to the sidewall of the server cabinet, the first slot of the neighboring server cabinet comprising a first channel extending through the sidewall of the neighboring server cabinet, and a first receiving slot communicating with the first channel opposite to the sidewall of the neighboring server cabinet; the second slot of the server cabinet comprising a second channel extending through the sidewall of the server cabinet and communicating with the first channel of the neighboring server cabinet, and a second receiving slot communicating with the second channel opposite to the sidewall of the server cabinet; the second slot of the neighboring server cabinet comprising a second channel extending through the sidewall of the neighboring server cabinet and communicating with the first channel of the server cabinet, and a second receiving slot communicating with the second channel opposite to the sidewall of the neighboring server cabinet; and
two substantially T-shaped mounting members, wherein a first one of the mounting members comprises a pivot portion pivotably received in the first channel of the server cabinet and a locking portion extending from the pivot portion and capable of being received in the second receiving slot of the neighboring server cabinet; a second one of the mounting members comprises a pivot portion pivotably received in the first channel of the neighboring server cabinet, and a locking portion extending from the pivot portion and capable of being received in the second receiving slot of the server cabinet;
wherein a screw hole is defined in a bottom wall of each second receiving slot, a mounting hole is defined in a center of each locking portion, and a fastener extends through the mounting hole to screw into the screw hole of a corresponding second receiving slot.
