  • Patent number: 6320125
    Abstract: An enclosure for electronic devices includes a frame device for moving at least one electronic device from the interior of the enclosure to a position outside to the enclosure, or a position where the device does not obstruct access to other components. A frame device may be attached to at least one interior surface of the enclosure as well as an electronic device, such that as the frame is moved within enclosure, the electronic device, connected thereto is repositioned as well. The frame may further include an additional hinge device for rotating the electronic device away from the enclosure. With this movement of the electronic device, greater access may be provided to other electronic devices and components contained therein. The enclosure may further include a specially-adapted ground bar for grounding the individual components in the enclosure. Specially marked attachments may be provided such that individual connections are established from each component as well as a connection to an electrical ground.
