Abstract
A bracket for mounting a sliding fixture to a computer cabinet for enabling a computer to slide relative to the computer cabinet includes a bracket body portion having first and second ends. A first pattern of holes is formed through the bracket body portion enabling the bracket to be mounted to the sliding fixture with fasteners. A first flange portion extends from the first end of the bracket body portion at an angle relative to the bracket body portion. A second pattern of holes is formed through the first flange portion. A second flange portion extends from the second end of the bracket body portion at an angle relative to the bracket body portion. A third pattern of holes is formed through the second flange portion. The second flange portion extends from the bracket body portion on the same side as the first flange portion such that a user can mount the bracket to the cabinet when the cabinet includes mounting holes either corresponding to the second pattern of holes or corresponding to the third pattern of holes by orienting one of the first and second flange portions against the mounting holes of the cabinet in a manner wherein the holes in said flange portion match the mounting holes in the cabinet thereby enabling said flange portion to be secured thereto with fasteners.
