Abstract

A supporting device for a rail member includes a first supporting frame and a second supporting frame. The first supporting frame has a first supporting means including an upper element and a lower element. The upper element includes a first supporting part. The lower element includes a second supporting part. A supporting passage is defined by the upper element and the lower element. The second supporting frame has a second supporting means including a third supporting part, a fourth supporting part and a second side wall extendedly connected to the third supporting part and the fourth supporting part. The first supporting means and the second supporting means are configured to support each other. The upper element is spaced from and not directly connected to the lower element, and the upper element and the lower element are formed as two independent parts of the first supporting frame.

Claims

1. A supporting device for a rail member, comprising:

a first supporting frame having a first supporting means comprising an upper element and a lower element, the upper element comprising a first supporting part, the lower element comprising a second supporting part, a supporting passage being defined by the upper element and the lower element; and

a second supporting frame having a second supporting means comprising a third supporting part, a fourth supporting part and a second side wall extendedly connected to the third supporting part and the fourth supporting part, the first supporting means and the second supporting means being configured to support each other;

wherein the first supporting part of the first supporting frame is configured to support the third supporting part and the second side wall of the second supporting frame, the second supporting part of the first supporting frame is configured to support the fourth supporting part and the second side wall of the second supporting frame;

wherein the first supporting frame further comprises a fifth supporting part extended from the first supporting part of the first supporting frame and located outside the supporting passage of the first supporting frame for supporting the third supporting part of the second supporting frame, and a sixth supporting part extended from the second supporting part of the first supporting frame and located outside the supporting passage of the first supporting frame for supporting the fourth supporting part of the second supporting frame;

wherein the rail member comprises a first rail and has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the first side of the rail member is formed with a slide rail passage for accommodating the first rail in order to allow the first rail to slide within the slide rail passage of the rail member, the second side of the rail member is configured to be connected to the first supporting frame;

wherein the upper element is spaced from and not directly connected to the lower element, and the upper element and the lower element are formed as two independent parts of the first supporting frame;

wherein the upper element and the lower element of the first supporting means have an identical shape and are disposed on the second side of the rail member.

2. The supporting device of claim 1, wherein the first supporting frame is fixed on the second side of the rail member.

3. The supporting device of claim 1, wherein the upper element and the lower element of the first supporting means are symmetrically disposed on the second side of the rail member.

4. The supporting device of claim 1, wherein a sum of a length of the fifth supporting part and a length of the sixth supporting part along a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the rail member is less than a length of the second side wall of the second supporting frame along the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the rail member.

5. The supporting device of claim 1, wherein when the supporting device is mounted between a first post and a second post of a rack, the first post and the second post of the rack are located at the second side of the rail member.

6. A supporting device for a rail member, comprising:

a first supporting frame having a first supporting means comprising a first supporting part and a second supporting part, a supporting passage being defined by the first supporting part and the second supporting part; and

a second supporting frame having a second supporting means comprising a third supporting part, a fourth supporting part and a second side wall extendedly connected to the third supporting part and the fourth supporting part, the first supporting means and the second supporting means being configured to support each other;

wherein the first supporting part of the first supporting frame is configured to support the third supporting part and the second side wall of the second supporting frame, the second supporting part of the first supporting frame is configured to support the fourth supporting part and the second side wall of the second supporting frame;

wherein the first supporting frame further comprises a fifth supporting part extended from the first supporting part of the first supporting frame and located outside the supporting passage of the first supporting frame for supporting the third supporting part of the second supporting frame, and a sixth supporting part extended from the second supporting part of the first supporting frame and located outside the supporting passage of the first supporting frame for supporting the fourth supporting part of the second supporting frame;

wherein the rail member comprises a first rail and has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the first side of the rail member is formed with a slide rail passage for accommodating the first rail in order to allow the first rail to slide within the slide rail passage of the rail member, the second side of the rail member is configured to be connected to one of the first supporting frame and the second supporting frame;

wherein the first supporting part is spaced from and not directly connected to the second supporting part.

7. The supporting device of claim 6, wherein the first supporting frame is fixed on the second side of the rail member.

8. The supporting device of claim 6, wherein a sum of a length of the fifth supporting part and a length of the sixth supporting part along a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the rail member is less than a length of the second side wall of the second supporting frame along the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the rail member.

9. The supporting device of claim 6, wherein when the supporting device is mounted between a first post and a second post of a rack, the first post and the second post of the rack are located at the second side of the rail member.
