ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved apparatus and screwless method for rack mounting an independent rail to a peripheral electronic component or primary rail. First, a spring-urged elongated arch having a convex surface and a concave surface is engaged by depressing the convex surface, the arch further having an engaged state and disengaged state, two legs, each of the legs being placed at an opposite end of the concave surface and angled inward of the arch. Second, the two legs are individually directed through two apertures in the independent rail. Third, the two legs are subsequently directed into two apertures in the peripheral electronic component. Finally, when the convex surface is released, the two legs retract and clamp the peripheral electronic component within the apertures of the peripheral electronic component.
