Abstract
An anchoring device for securing objects within a rack mount system using fasteners. The anchoring device has a base portion with flush and anchor faces, the anchor faces defining apertures. Hooks are provided for securing the anchoring device to the rack mount system. Each hook has a horizontal arm with base and distal ends, and a vertical arm with upper and lower ends. Each base end is coupled to the anchor face and each distal end is coupled to the upper end of one vertical arm. Hooks are receivable within openings in the rack mount system to secure the anchoring device. The apertures in the base portion align with the openings in the rack mount system when the anchoring device is secured to the rack mount system such that the object is securable to the rack mount system by engaging the fasteners with the apertures in the anchoring device.
