  • Patent number: 6067233
    Abstract: A mounting brace and cable management apparatus includes a rigid bar including a body portion. The body portion includes a first end and a second end. A first leg portion extends substantially perpendicular from the first end. A second leg portion extends substantially perpendicular from the second end. A first flange portion extends from the first leg portion. A second flange portion extends from the second leg portion. The first and second flange portions each include an opening for receiving a fastener to fasten the first and second flange portions to a cabinet. The rigid bar can be mounted in a first position for securing an electronic module to the cabinet or a second position for routing cables. The rigid bar contacts a surface of the electronic module to prevent vertical movement of the electronic module within the cabinet when the rigid bar is mounted in the first position.

  • Patent number: 6007169
    Abstract: An electronic chassis and filter apparatus is provided. A chassis includes a top portion, a bottom portion, a first side wall portion, and a second side wall portion. The bottom portion includes an open front side, a closed back side, a first guide rail portion and a second guide rail portion. An ejector spring is operatively attached to the back side of the bottom portion, and a spring-biased actuator is operatively connected to the first rail portion adjacent the open front side. When the filter is inserted into the open front side, the filter contacts the ejector spring which biases the filter against the spring-biased actuator.
