  • Patent number: 7031588
    Abstract: A shelf includes: a main panel unit; a slide member; and a component mounting panel. The slide member is pivotally attached to the main panel unit for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis and is configured for slidable mounting relative to an enclosure such that the main panel unit can be moved from a retracted position within the enclosure to an extended position that is forward of the enclosure. The main panel unit is pivotable relative to the slide member between a raised position and a lowered position when extended forwardly of the enclosure. The component mounting panel is pivotally mounted to the main panel unit for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis between front access and rear access positions.

  • Patent number: 6273732
    Abstract: A through mount electrical connector with an alignment device is disclosed. According to the invention, the connector is mountable to a substrate and includes a housing through which a plurality of contacts extend. Each contact has a contact tail that extends beyond a face of the housing. The connector includes an alignment device having a first face adjacent the housing, a second face positionable adjacent the substrate, and a plurality of apertures extending between the first face and the second face for receiving a respective contact tail. At least one latch slidably couples the alignment device to ends of the housing such that the alignment device is selectively disposable between a first position in which the contact tails generally do not extend beyond the second face of the alignment device, and a second position in which the contact tails generally extend beyond the second face of the alignment device.
