Fixing seat for rail of modem/servo carrying and stowing rack

Abstract

A fixing seat is provided for fixing a rail to a modem/servo carrying and stowing rack and includes a base, retention pawls, a slide buckling member, an operation knob and springs. The base has a front section to which the retention pawls and the slide buckling member provided. The springs are provided rearward of the slide buckling member and the operation knob is formed with the slide buckling member. Thus, by operating the operation knob to drive the slide buckling member and deforms springs, together with the sliding motion of the slide buckling member into a mounting hole defined in the rack, a mounting process is realized wherein the retention pawls are first fit into the mounting hole and then the slide buckling member slides into the mounting hole to engage an opposite edge thereby fixing the rail to the rack.

1 . A fixing seat for fixing a rail to a rack comprising:
 a base mounted to the rail and having a front section;   a retention pawl formed on the front section of the base and forming guiding tip extending frontward and rearward therefrom;   a slide buckling member slidably positioned on an upper surface of the front section;   an operation knob formed on the slide buckling member; and   
     springs received in the base and arranged rearward of the slide buckling member. 
   
   
       2 . The fixing seat as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a rear section forming a hole adapted to receive a fastener for mounting to the rail. 
   
   
       3 . The fixing seat as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the front section of the base has a front end forming a rail gripping member that is engageable with a front end edge of the rail so that the rail gripping member and the fastener received in the hole securely fix the fixing seat to the rail. 
   
   
       4 . The fixing seat as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the front section of the base has a front end forming a rail gripping member that is engageable with a front end edge of the rail to secure the fixing seat to the rail.
