Abstract
An integrated chassis slide assembly (10) is provided for integration with a chassis (12) and coupling to a mounting rack (not shown). The integrated chassis slide assembly (10) includes a fixed slide (14) coupled to the mounting rack (not shown), at least one intermediate slide (16), and an integrated chassis slide (18), where the integrated chassis slide is attached to the chassis (12) and forms a side panel of the chassis. The top and bottom edges of both the intermediate slide (16) and the integrated chassis slide (18) are bent over and outward to form opposed U-shaped channels (86, 106), and all the slides are slidably interlocked in a nested fashion, with the top and bottom edges of the fixed slide (14) nested within the channels (86) of the intermediate slide (16), and the channels of the intermediate slide nested within the channels (106) of the integrated chassis slide (18). Such interconnection allows for easy extension and retraction of the chassis along the assembly slides.
