Benefits of technology

[0008]This invention is a slip on rail system for rack mount equipment or any equipment witch has side flanges. It allows the equipment to be used without mounting an a rack. The apparatus keeps the equipment organized and stable. The slip on rail system is a channeled tensioning device to grasp the flanges on the sides of the equipment.

Problems solved by technology

When they are stacked they become unstable and slide around, becoming unorganized.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Referring to FIG. 1 in conjunction with FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 the slip on rail 1 is made from material with a channel into which the rack mount equipment 3 flanges are inserted and are retained by a tensioning device 2. other material rigid enough to keep the rack mounted equipment in place. The tensioning device 2 can be made from an elastic or spring material that is attached or retained in the channel.

[0017]Referring to FIG. 4a in conjunction with FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 as well as FIG. 6 shows how the slip on rail system 1 would fit on the equipment 3 during use.

[0018]The preferred embodiment is as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 in which the tensioning device 2 is a circular cross-section vinyl gasket with retention barb.
