Abstract

A bracket assembly includes a bracket, an inserting member, an elastic member disposed on the bracket, first and second arms oppositely and pivotally connected to the bracket, and an operation member. The elastic member includes first and second elastic portions correspondingly disposed. The first and second arms each include a first portion having a contact portion abutting against the respective first or second elastic portion and a second portion having a hook portion and a connecting portion oppositely disposed. The operation member is connected between the connecting portions of the first and second arms.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bracket assembly, comprising:
a bracket including a longitudinal body and an end plate disposed on the longitudinal body;
at least one inserting member disposed on the end plate of the bracket;
a first arm movably connected to the bracket, the first arm having a first hook portion at one end thereof corresponding in position to the end plate of the bracket; and
an elastic member configured to urge the first hook portion of the first arm towards the bracket;
wherein the bracket further includes a first connecting base and a second connecting base which are disposed on the longitudinal body of the bracket, the first arm is pivotally connected to the first connecting base, and wherein the bracket assembly further comprises a second arm pivotally connected to the second connecting base.

2. The bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is disposed on the bracket and located between the first connecting base and the second connecting base, the second arm has a second hook portion at one end thereof corresponding in position to the end plate of the bracket, and wherein the elastic member is also configured to urge the second hook portion of the second arm towards the bracket.

3. The bracket assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the elastic member further includes a base plate, a first elastic portion, and a second elastic portion, and wherein at least one of the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion is uplifted from one end of the base plate.

4. The bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an operation member connected between the first arm and the second arm.

5. A bracket assembly for slide, the bracket assembly adapted to a rack, the rack including at least one hole, the bracket assembly comprising:
a bracket including a longitudinal body and an end plate disposed on the longitudinal body;
at least one inserting member disposed on the end plate of the bracket;
an elastic member disposed on the bracket, the elastic member including a first elastic portion and a second elastic portion;
a first arm movably connected to the bracket, the first arm including a first portion and a second portion opposite to the first portion of the first arm, wherein the first portion of the first arm includes a first contact portion abutting against the first elastic portion of the elastic member, and the second portion of the first arm corresponds in position to the end plate of the bracket and includes a first hook portion;
a second arm movably connected to the bracket, the second arm including a first portion and a second portion opposite to the first portion of the second arm, wherein the first portion of the second arm includes a second contact portion abutting against the second elastic portion of the elastic member, and the second portion of the second arm corresponds in position to the end plate of the bracket and includes a second hook portion; and
an operation member connected between the first arm and the second arm;
wherein, when the bracket assembly is mounted on the rack, the at least one inserting member is inserted into the at least one hole of the rack, and meanwhile, the first hook portion of the second portion of the first arm and the second hook portion of the second portion of the second arm clasp the rack due to elastic force against the first contact portion and the second contact portion provided by the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion.

6. The bracket assembly as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the elastic member further includes a base plate, and the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion are uplifted from two opposite ends of the base plate, respectively.

7. A bracket assembly, comprising:
a bracket including a longitudinal body, a first connecting base, a second connecting base corresponding in position to the first connecting base, and an end plate disposed on the longitudinal body, wherein the first connecting base and the second connecting base are disposed on the longitudinal body;
at least one inserting member disposed on the end plate of the bracket;
an elastic member disposed on the bracket and located between the first connecting base and the second connecting base, the elastic member including a first elastic portion and a second elastic portion;
a first arm pivotally connected to the first connecting base of the bracket, the first arm including a first portion and a second portion opposite to the first portion of the first arm, wherein the first portion of the first arm includes a first contact portion abutting against the first elastic portion of the elastic member, and the second portion of the first arm corresponds in position to the end plate of the bracket and includes a first hook portion and a first connecting portion disposed close to the first hook portion;
a second arm pivotally connected to the second connecting base of the bracket, the second arm including a first portion and a second portion opposite to the first portion of the second arm, wherein the first portion of the second arm includes a second contact portion abutting against the second elastic portion of the elastic member, and the second portion of the second arm corresponds in position to the end plate of the bracket and includes a second hook portion and a second connecting portion disposed close to the second hook portion; and
an operation member connected between the first connecting portion of the first arm and the second connecting portion of the second arm.

8. The bracket assembly as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the elastic member further includes a base plate, and wherein the first elastic portion and the second elastic portion are uplifted from two opposite ends of the base plate, respectively.
