  • Patent number: 5656307
    Abstract: This invention provides a cabinet assembly which can be created as a single body, including an enclosure and accessory components attached to the enclosure, requiring no additional molds to form the accessory components separately, thereby reducing the cost of molding the accessory components, the number of molding processes and, as a result the total cost. A shut-off valve provided on a mold allows one of the accessory components to be selected for integration with the enclosure as a single body according to the specifications of the particular equipment, thus enabling the particular accessory component to be molded at the same time as the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 5650921
    Abstract: An electronic component assembly including a connector hole built as part of an enclosure serving as a cabinet of electronic device, where the connector hole is used for passing through an electric connector connecting a component inside the cabinet to an external device installed outside the cabinet, has a knurled portion with a plurality of dents provided around the inside of the hole for preventing the connector from rotating by engaging the corners of the flange in the connector with any of the dents. As a result, other parts, including a rear terminal assembly for preventing the connector from rotating, and the number of the assembly operations can be eliminated. The cost and processes of molding other parts can also be eliminated.
