Abstract
An apparatus includes a cabinet for supporting an enclosure. The enclosure includes a head jamb of the frame located at the top-horizontal portion of the frame. The enclosure includes a vertical jamb of the frame of the cabinet that is attached to the head jamb to provide stability for the cabinet. The enclosure includes a base jamb of the frame of the cabinet that is attached to the vertical jamb to provide stability for the cabinet. The enclosure includes a housing that is attached to the head jamb. The enclosure includes a magnet at least partially encased in the housing. The enclosure includes a panel removably attached to the frame by magnetically connecting to the magnet encased within in the housing.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a cabinet for supporting an enclosure,
- wherein the cabinet comprises a frame to provide a primary structural support for the cabinet;
- a head jamb of the frame located at a top-horizontal portion of the frame;
- a vertical jamb of the frame of the cabinet that is attached to the head jamb to provide stability for the cabinet;
- a base jamb of the frame of the cabinet that is attached to the vertical jamb to provide stability for the cabinet;
- a housing that is attached to the head jamb;
- a magnet at least partially encased in the housing;
- a panel removably attached to the frame by magnetically connecting to the magnet encased within the housing,
- wherein when attached to the frame by magnet connection, the panel at least partially closes the cabinet;
- a frame lip located on the exterior of at least one of the head jamb, the base jamb, and the vertical jamb, wherein the frame lip comprises an outer point and an inner point forming an oblique angle to each other, wherein the frame lip further comprises a lip exterior that is a most exterior portion of the frame lip;
- and
- a grab space formed at an area substantially between the outer point of the frame lip and a panel top, wherein the panel is shorter than a distance from a bottom of the cabinet and the outer point of the frame lip to form the grab space and allow for a user to grab the panel substantially near the panel top and pull the panel away from the magnet.
An apparatus comprising:
- a cabinet for supporting at least one of a terrarium, an aquarium, and a paludarium,
- wherein the cabinet is a cuboid shape;
- a frame of the cabinet comprising a plurality of head jambs, a plurality of left vertical jambs, a plurality of right vertical jambs, and a plurality of base jambs,
- wherein each of the head jambs is at a top-horizontal portion of the frame,
- wherein each left vertical jamb and each right vertical jamb connects to a corresponding head jamb,
- wherein each left vertical jamb and each right vertical jamb further attach to a corresponding base jamb, and
- wherein when connected, the plurality of head jambs, the plurality of left vertical jambs, the plurality of right vertical jambs, and the plurality of base jambs form the frame of the cabinet;
- a plurality of housings attached to each of the head jambs,
- wherein at least two housings are attached to each of the head jambs;
- a plurality of magnets encased in the plurality of housings,
- wherein each housing individually encases at least one magnet;
- a plurality of screws attaching the plurality of housings to the plurality of head jambs of the frame,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of screws attaches at least one housing to at least one head jamb, and
- wherein the plurality of screws are at least partially encased within the housings;
- a plurality of panels removably attached to the cabinet by magnetically connecting the panels to the magnets encased within the housings;
- a frame lip on the exterior of each of the head jambs, each of the left vertical jambs, and each of the right vertical jambs,
- wherein the frame lip comprises an outer point and an inner point,
- wherein the outer point and the inner point of the frame lip are at a substantially oblique angle from each other;
- and
- a grab space formed at an area substantially between the outer point of the frame lip and a panel top,
- wherein the panels are shorter than the distance from a bottom of the cabinet and the outer point of the frame lip to form the grab space and allow for a user to grab at least one of the plurality of panels substantially near the panel top and pull the panel away from the magnets.
