Storage cabinet for electronic components

Abstract

A storage cabinet for electronic components. The storage cabinet is made up of removably attachable components including: a rectangular base, a rectangular vertical front frame, a rectangular vertical rear frame, a pair of side walls, a rectangular cover, a door hingedly connected to the front frame, and a door hingedly connected to the rear frame. Four apertures vertical support bars are adjustably mounted on the inner sides of side frames for supporting the electronic components. The side walls are mechanically interlocked with the front and rear frames. The side walls are secured to the base and cover by nuts and bolts.

The invention having been thus described, was is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent is:  
     
         1 . A storage cabinet for electronic components comprising:

         2 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the vertical side edges of each of said right wall and said left wall are in interlocking engagement with the corresponding vertical edges of each of said front frame and said rear frame.  
     
     
         3 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 2 , wherein each vertical side edge of each of said right wall and said left wall has a L-shaped flange in horizontal cross section and each vertical side edge of each of said rear frame and said front frame has an L-shaped groove in horizontal cross-section for receiving corresponding L-shaped flanges of said right wall and said left wall for enabling said right wall and said left wall to slide vertically, relative to said front frame and said rear frame, while preventing said left wall and said right wall from moving horizontally.  
     
     
         4 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each of said left wall and said right wall are mounted on each of said front frame and said rear frame for vertical sliding movement relative to said front frame and said rear frame, and each of said left wall and said right wall being prevented from horizontal movement relative to said rear frame and said front frame.  
     
     
         5 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each of the rear end, right end, front end, and rear end of said supporting base has an upwardly extending vertical flange to form a rectangular enclosure and each of said right wall, said left wall, said front frame and said rear frame are located within said enclosure.  
     
     
         6 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the lower end of said left wall is fixedly connected to the vertical flange of the left end of said supporting base and the lower end of said right wall is connected to the vertical flange of the right end of said supporting base.  
     
     
         7 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the lower end of said left wall and the lower end of said right wall each has a plurality of apertures, vertical flange of the left end of said supporting base has a plurality of apertures horizontally aligned with the apertures of the lower end of said left wall and the vertical flanges of the right end of said supporting base has a plurality of apertures aligned with the apertures of the lower end of said right wall, said storage cabinet further comprising fasteners in said aligned apertures.  
     
     
         8 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each of the rear end, right end, front end and left end of said top wall has a downwardly extending vertical flange to form a rectangular enclosure and each of said right wall, said left wall, said front frame and said rear frame are located within said enclosure.  
     
     
         9 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the upper end of said left wall is fixedly connected to the vertical flange of the left end of said top wall and the upper end of said right wall is fixedly connected to the vertical flange of the right end of said top wall.  
     
     
         10 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 9 , wherein the upper end of said left wall and the upper end of said right wall each has a plurality of apertures horizontally aligned with the apertures of he upper end of said left wall and the vertical flanges of the right end of said top wall has a plurality of apertures aligned with the apertures of the upper end of said right wall, said storage cabinet further comprising fasteners in said aligned apertures.  
     
     
         11 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising fasteners for connecting the upper end of said left wall to said top wall, the lower end of said left wall to said supporting base, the upper end of said right wall to said top wall and the lower end of said right wall to said supporting base.  
     
     
         12 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said fixture comprises vertical support bars mounted to said left wall and said right wall adjacent each of said front frame and said rear frame, each of said support bars having a plurality of apertures.  
     
     
         13 . A storage cabinet as recited in  claim 11 , wherein each of said vertical support bars is adjustably mounted for movement toward and away from said front frame.
