ABSTRACT:
A bracket assembly for attaching a slide track to a rail of an equipment rack without the need for tools comprises a longitudinal main portion, a first or interior surface of which provides a mounting surface for the slide track, and an attachment portion that is substantially perpendicular to the main portion, and that is configured to seat against the rail. A quick-release latching assembly, including a latch element, is slidably mounted on a second, or exterior, surface of the main portion of the bracket assembly adjacent to the end portion, and is movable between a first position, in which the latch element is in a locking engagement with the rail, and a second position in which the latch element is disengaged from the rail. The latching assembly is coupled to the main bracket portion by a biasing element, such as a spring or an elastic band, that biases the latching assembly toward the first position.
