  • Patent number: 6246573
    Abstract: A wall mounted computer for used in an examining room or operatory such as employed in a dentist's or doctor's office. The computer is contained in a shallow metal box which is mounted between wall studs or on the surface of a wall. Mounted to the metal box beneath the computer is one or more mass storage devices which may be accessed from beneath a horizontal support plate. A connector bracket provides convenient access to data input or output connectors. The connector bracket is recessed with respect to the mass storage devices so that cables do not block access to the mass storage devices. A translucent plate is mounted by binges to cover the access to the mass storage devices and the connector bracket to protect them from contamination. A flat panel display is removably mounted on an articulated post to the metal box. The flat panel display may be viewed while mounted on the post, or may be removed for more convenient viewing by a patient or by medical personnel.

  • Patent number: 4946057
    Abstract: A storage container with locking lid and wall mounting arrangement for multiple containers is disclosed. The top left and right edges of the container have first extensions substantially along their length and an arctuate extension on each of them. The left and right rear vertical edges of the container have second extensions. A lid has rolled edges on its left and right sides and there is a hole through each of the rolled edges. As the lid is attached to the box by sliding its rolled edges over the first extensions, the arctuate extensions slightly deform the rolled edges until the box is fully closed and the arctuate extensions then enter the holes to lock the lid to the container. When the lid is removed from the container it is attached to its rear by sliding the rolled edges of the lid over the second extensions.
