Abstract
A chassis which comprises a first frame and a second frame is provided. The first frame includes a front surface and a pair of first flanges formed on opposing edges of the front surface. The second frame includes a pair of side surfaces. Each side surface has an edge with a second flange and a plurality of aligned guide elements. The second flanges and the guide elements define guide channels for slidably receiving the first flanges. A cover assembly for the chassis comprises a panel having a first inner surface, a hook, and a standoff projecting from the first inner surface. The hook has a leg portion and an arm portion which may be inserted into a slot in one of the surfaces of the chassis.
Claims1
A cover assembly, comprising:
- a chassis having a first surface and a slot formed in the first surface;
- a first panel having a first inner surface and a hook, the hook having a leg portion and an arm portion insertable into the first slot;
- a first standoff projecting from the first inner surface, the first standoff having a length longer than a length of the leg portion, said panel being provided with a second slot and a pair of opposing cantilevers;
- and
- a second panel having a second inner surface, including a second hook formed on the second inner surface, the second hook having an arm portion insertable into the second slot, said second panel including a second standoff formed on the second inner surface, the second standoff having fins and a protruding portion insertable into a space between the cantilevers, the fins contacting the cantilevers when the hook is inserted into the slot.
