Abstract

A sleeve bracket assembly includes a rail base, a positioning board and multiple positioning mounts. The rail base includes two side boards and a connecting seat connecting with the side boards. Each side board has a sliding rail protruding from an inner surface of the side boards. The positioning board is integrally formed with the sliding rail. The positioning mounts are rotatably and movably mounted in the rail base and abut the positioning board. The positioning mounts are positioned between the positioning board and the rail base. When no external force is applied, the positioning mounts will not move or rotate.

Claims (19)

1. A sleeve bracket assembly comprising:

a rail base including:

two side boards extending in a direction, being parallel to each other, and disposed vertically at an interval and having:

two sliding rails respectively protruding from inner surfaces of the two side boards and facing each other;

a sliding channel formed between the inner surfaces of the two sliding rails; and

a notch formed between the two sliding rails and communicating with the sliding channel;

a positioning board being an elongated strip, integrally connecting with bottoms of the sliding rails, and having an abutment portion having a curved cross section perpendicular to the direction and protruding upwardly and protruding into the sliding channel via the notch, with the abutment portion having a constant vertical thickness inside the notch; and

multiple positioning mounts movably mounted in the sliding channel of the rail base and unrestrictedly rotatable relative to the abutment portion, with each positioning mount including:

a sliding portion having an abutment surface formed on a bottom of the sliding portion; and

a socket portion integrally formed on a top surface of the sliding portion, wherein the multiple positioning mounts are mounted in the sliding channel by the sliding portion, wherein the abutment surfaces of the multiple positioning mounts abut the abutment portion of the positioning board, and wherein the sliding portions of the multiple positioning mounts abut inner sides of the two sliding rails.

2. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each sliding rail has a lower abutment surface defined at a lower side inside the sliding rail, wherein the abutment portion is shaped as a bulge protruding in a central portion of the abutment portion and gradually inclined toward two sides of the bulge, and wherein an uppermost point of the abutment portion is located above the lower abutment surface of the sliding rail.

3. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each positioning mount has a protrusion formed on the bottom of the sliding portion, and wherein the abutment surface of each positioning mount is defined on a bottom surface of the protrusion of the positioning mount.

4. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shape of the abutment surface of the positioning mount is flat.

5. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the shape of the abutment surface of the positioning mount is flat.

6. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the shape of the abutment surface of the positioning mount is flat.

7. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the rail base and each positioning mount is made of an elastic material, and wherein another one of the rail base and each positioning mount is made of a rigid material.

8. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the abutment portion of the positioning board has at least one U-shaped section protruding upwardly from a middle of the positioning board.

9. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the abutment portion of the positioning board has two U-shaped sections protruding upwardly from the positioning board at an interval.

10. The sleeve bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the abutment portion of the positioning board has multiple U-shaped sections protruding upwardly from the positioning board at an interval and disposed transversely along the positioning board.
