Abstract

A mounting rail for an insert assembly provided to fix in an installation frame of a computer includes one bearing surface to fix in a guide rail of the installation cage, one fastening for the insert assembly, whereby the mounting rail can be fixed laterally on the insert assembly, and a lever at a first end wherein the lever is mounted on a shaft such that an eccentric shape is formed and, by actuating the lever in an installed state, the mounting rail is lifted in a direction of the insert assembly.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A mounting rail for an insert assembly provided to fix in an installation cage of a computer, the mounting rail comprising:
one bearing surface to fix in a guide rail of the installation cage;
at least one mounting pin for the insert assembly, whereby the mounting rail can be fixed laterally on the insert assembly;
a detent lug integrally formed with the mounting rail on an outward portion of a first end of the mounting rail which, in an installed state of the mounting rail on the insert assembly within the installation cage, engages into an engagement opening in the installation cage to fix the mounting rail to the installation cage with respect to a direction of insertion;
a shaft formed on an inward portion of the first end of the mounting rail; and
a lever rotatably attached about said shaft, said lever comprising an eccentric portion at a first end thereof that is eccentric with respect to the shaft, and a grip at a second end thereof opposite the first end,
wherein by rotating the grip of the lever away from the insert assembly, the shaft of the mounting rail is lifted in a direction toward the insert assembly and the detent lug is lifted out of the engagement opening.

2. The mounting rail according to claim 1 , wherein the lever is mounted such that, by actuating the lever in the installed state, the mounting rail is moved from the installation cage.

3. The mounting rail according to claim 2 , wherein the lever comprises at least one lever lug which can press against an edge of the installation cage to press the mounting rail from the installation cage.

4. An arrangement that fixes an insert assembly in an installation cage of a computer, comprising:
an installation cage;
the mounting rail according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one bearing surface fixes the mounting rail in a guide rail of the installation cage; and
at least one mounting pin, arranged on the mounting rail, for the insert assembly, whereby the mounting rail can be fixed laterally to the insert assembly.

5. The mounting rail according to claim 1 , wherein the lever comprises at least one lever lug on the eccentric portion which, when the lever is rotated, can press against an edge of the installation cage to move the mounting rail from the installation cage along the direction of insertion.

6. An arrangement that fixes an insert assembly in an installation cage of a computer, comprising:
an installation cage:
the mounting rail according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one bearing surface fixes the mounting rail in a guide rail of the installation cage;
at least one mounting pin arranged on the mounting rail for the insert assembly, whereby the mounting rail can be fixed laterally to the insert assembly; and
the installation cage, on surfaces equipped with the guide rail, comprises a correspondingly long edge outwardly, against which the lever lug can press to move the mounting rail out from the installation cage.

7. An arrangement that fixes an insert assembly in an installation cage of a computer, comprising:
an installation cage;
the mounting rail according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one bearing surface fixes the mounting rail in a guide rail of the installation cage; and
at least one mounting pin arranged on the mounting rail, for the insert assembly, whereby the mounting rail can be fixed laterally to the insert assembly.

8. An arrangement that fixes an insert assembly in an installation cage of a computer, comprising:
an installation cage;
the mounting rail according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one bearing surface fixes the mounting rail in a guide rail of the installation cage; and
at least one mounting pin arranged on the mounting rail, for the insert assembly, whereby the mounting rail can be fixed laterally to the insert assembly.

9. The arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein two mounting rails are laterally mounted on side walls of the insert assembly.
