Abstract
Abstract The telescoping wall mounting bracket comprises a foot adapted to be wall-secured, to which is permanently fixed the smaller of two telescoping members. The larger telescoping member surrounds the smaller, and telescopic extension is limited by cables attached between the members. The larger member is securable into an electrical rack structure, or into supporting means therefor so that the rack structure can be moved away from or toward the wall upon which it is mounted for access to the rear thereof or general adjustment of the spatial separation of the structure relative to the wall.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
Telescoping, wall-mounting bracket means for mounting a frame for the support of electrical racks, which frame has an upright frame member, said frame being hingedly mounted to an upright post, said bracket means being for mounting said upright post with respect to a wall, said bracket means comprising upper and lower brackets mounted on said post and securable to a wall, the improvement wherein each said bracket comprises: a first telescoping member; a second telescoping member, said second telescoping member inter-engaging with said first telescoping member so that the overall length of said first and second telescoping members is selectable; stop means inter-engaged between said telescoping members, said stop means limiting the relative motion of said first and second telescoping members to a predetermined minimum overall length; wall-mounting means on one of said telescoping members, said wall-mounting means adapting said telescoping member to wall mounting thereof; and mounting means on the other telescoping member, said mounting means being connected to said post so that the rack hingedly mounted on said post can be supported with respect to a wall in telescoping arrangement with respect thereto whereby the distance from the rack to the wall can be selected.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
197 words
Telescoping, wall-mounting bracket means for mounting a frame for the support of electrical racks, which frame has an upright frame member, said frame being hingedly mounted to an upright post, said bracket means being for mounting said upright post with respect to a wall, said bracket means comprising upper and lower brackets mounted on said post and securable to a wall, the improvement wherein each said bracket comprises: a first telescoping member; a second telescoping member, said second telescoping member inter-engaging with said first telescoping member so that the overall length of said first and second telescoping members is selectable; stop means inter-engaged between said telescoping members, said stop means limiting the relative motion of said first and second telescoping members to a predetermined minimum overall length; wall-mounting means on one of said telescoping members, said wall-mounting means adapting said telescoping member to wall mounting thereof; and mounting means on the other telescoping member, said mounting means being connected to said post so that the rack hingedly mounted on said post can be supported with respect to a wall in telescoping arrangement with respect thereto whereby the distance from the rack to the wall can be selected.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
The telescoping, wall-mounting bracket of claim 1 wherein said telescoping member carrying a wall mounting means thereon comprises an inner member, and said telescoping means carrying mounting means thereon comprises an outer tube in engagement with and telescopically sliding over said inner member, said outer tube being adapted to be positioned in and secured to the frame of an electrical rack.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The telescoping, wall-mounting bracket of claim 2 wherein said inner member is tubular and a pin extends across said inner tubular member, a pin extends across said outer tube, and limit means engaging around both of said pins, said limit means limiting the maximum telescoping dimension between said tubes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The telescoping, wall-mounting bracket of claim 3 wherein said limiting means comprises a looped metallic cable extending around both of said pins so that said cable becomes taut when said outer tube is telescoped to maximum dimension away from said mounting means on said inner tubular member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The telescoping, wall-mounting bracket of claim 4 wherein a lock bolt is engaged between said telescoping tubes so that said tubes can be locked with respect to each other to prevent telescoping motion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
82 words
The telescoping, wall-mounting bracket of claim 2 wherein said upright post to which said upper and lower brackets are attached is in the form of an upright hollow post, an opening in the wall of said post, said outer telescoping member extending through said opening and into said post and being secured within said post, said opening being larger than said outer telescoping member so as to permit angular flexiblity of said outer telescoping member with respect to said hollow upright post.
