  • Patent number: 6605777
    Abstract: An electronic equipment frame has two side assemblies each formed of two separate configured corner support channel members rigidly connected by welding by a series of cross struts, and rigidly welded to separate top panel and bottom panel assemblies, with each corner support channel member having a deep, flat-bottomed, V-shaped central channel portion where the angled sidewalls extend to the same depth as the outer end walls of the corner support channel member. The respective ends of each corner support channel member also have extension length portions which permit extended length weld areas for rigidly connecting the respective top and bottom panel assemblies thereto.

  • Patent number: 5938302
    Abstract: An electronic component enclosure system with main channel configurations which constitute the four corners and vertical support of a multiple enclosures. The channels are essentially a right angle with a vertex of the angle chamfered, or a right angle of two faces with means for joining the same at the corners, irrespective of whether the means are a sharp bend, a chamfer, and the like. The lateral faces of the channel terminate in recessed gutters. The gutters are essentially a J-shaped reverse bend in most instances. The mating channels are in such a side by side relationship that they require a relatively sharp bend at the right angle of the sections which, in turn, presents a flush surface appearance from the front, and which can be RFI shielded since the vertical channels are all essentially imperforate.

  • Patent number: 5806945
    Abstract: The development of a main channel configuration which constitutes the four corners and vertical support of an enclosure is disclosed. The channel is essentially a right angle with the vertex of the angle chamfered which provides additional strength, and a pleasing sturdy aesthetic appearance. The lateral faces of the channel terminate in recessed gutters. The channel itself is symmetrical about a plane extending perpendicular through the chamfered face which connects the two side faces. The enclosure thereafter contemplates eight gussets, four at the top corners and four at the bottom corners. The gussets join cross ties at the two sides, and the front and rear, both top and bottom. Horizontal and vertical unistruts are provided in nestingly overlapped fashion interiorly of the main channels to add additional strength and also to secure the mounting channels which are positioned at various pre-selected locations.

  • Patent number: 5587877
    Abstract: An organizer structure which has a one-piece chassis which includes the bottom and two sides desirably formed by bending a single sheet of metal to form the U-shaped chassis is disclosed. Thereafter, a spacer is positioned above the bottom of the chassis to provide for mounting a whole host of components. Forwardly of the chassis is an enclosure access frame. The frame contains two side-by-side openings which are in open communication with removable storage devices. The storage devices are housed in a removable housing, each of which is positioned adjacent the other to present the storage devices through the opening in the frame. A total of six such devices can be housed, each set of three being easily removable from the confines of the organizer by removing its housing.
