The patent US12075590B2 describes a specialized rack designed for receiving electronic devices, featuring a plurality of receiving slots. Notably, at least one of these slots incorporates a scissor mechanism, which connects to the rack at one end and features a mounting interface at the other end for mechanical attachment to an electronic device. The scissor mechanism is enhanced by a guide structure that includes a guide slot and a curved pivot guide, facilitating smooth movement. Additional claims detail the configuration of the scissor mechanism, which consists of two groups of scissor legs positioned on either side of the rack, and the inclusion of support rails and wheels to aid in the mechanism's operation.

Further innovations in the design include a latching mechanism that secures the mounting interface in a latched condition, preventing unwanted pivoting, while allowing for a released condition for free movement. The rack is supported by four vertical posts and features guide rails that assist in the vertical displacement of the scissor mechanism. The guide structure is designed to accommodate both vertical and horizontal movements, ensuring stability and functionality. Additionally, dampers are integrated to mitigate abrupt movements as the mounting interface approaches its maximum pivot angle, enhancing the overall user experience and safety of the electronic devices housed within the rack.
