Abstract: An electrical cabinet and a frame therefor, wherein the frame comprises side members connected together by transverse members. Each transverse member is made from bars or tubes in a skeletal form with at least one recess in the side of the transverse member. The skeletal form of each transverse member makes it cheap to manufacture and can provide for large recesses, thereby facilitating cable access. The electrical cabinet comprises removable side panels and a door mounted on the frame. The frame can also provide mounting points for subracks of electrical or electronic components.

Abstract: In a cabinet having vertically extending side members (5) forming part of a chassis of the cabinet, panel mounts (1), also to extend vertically in the cabinet and to have panels mounted thereupon, are mountable to the side members (5) by integral members (3) which extend parallel to the outer face of the panel mount (1) at a spacing from the outer face and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the panel mount (1), i.e., horizontally. The integral members (3) are engaged in respective apertures in the side members (5) or in braces (7) extending between the side members (5) followed by forward or rearward movement to effect securement, retaining means such as pins or studs then being inserted in aligned bores (8, 9) in the panel mounts (1) and side members (5) to prevent return movement.

Abstract: A panel includes a sheet of metal folded to define an elongate main panel portion (100, 200) along the edges of which are a first longitudinal side flange (101, 201) and a first transverse end flange (103, 203). The first longitudinal side flange is along at least part of its length folded back towards the main panel portion (100, 200) and secured thereto to provide a tubular edge reinforcement of the panel. The first longitudinal side flange (101, 201) has a first longitudinal end which is secured to the first transverse end flange (103, 203). A portion (107) of the first longitudinal side flange (101) generally parallel to the main panel portion (100) has a longitudinal extension (115) which is folded towards the main panel portion (100) and is secured to a portion of the first transverse end flange (103) extending away from the main panel portion (100).

Abstract: A contact member is disclosed for providing electrical connection between two components of a housing for electrical or electronic equipment. The contact member comprises a spring clip for mounting the contact member over an edge of the first housing component. The spring clip has integrally connected front and rear portions for gripping the first housing component therebetween. The contact member also has a spring leaf integrally connected with the spring clip. The spring leaf has a generally U-shaped cross-section defined by a first contact portion, which extends away from the spring clip to the bight of the U at an acute angle to the first component when gripped by the spring clip, to contact the second housing component in use, and a second contact portion, which extends from the bight of the U back towards the spring clip, to contact the first housing component is use.
