Abstract
A casing for electronic, heat-emitting components, has a front provided with an ornamented bezel. Instead of a conventional ventilation grill in such front bezel, the bezel is bowed outwardly relative to the front edges of the sides of the casing. Ventilation is provided through the gaps between the back of the bezel and the front edges of the sides. The upper portion of the bezel may be formed with an opening to receive a media bezel having openings therein for removable disk drives, floppy disks and the like.
Claims20
An enclosure combination for electronic components, comprising:
- a casing having a first front casing side edge that is substantially parallel to a second front casing side edge;
- and
- a main bezel configured to couple to the casing, the main bezel including a bowed front surface and a first side edge that is substantially parallel to a second side edge;
- wherein the bowed front surface of the main bezel allows a portion of the first side edge to form a first opening between the bezel and the casing adjacent the first front casing side edge, wherein the bowed front surface of the main bezel allows a portion of the second side edge to form a second opening between the bezel and the casing adjacent the second front casing side edge, and wherein the first opening and the second opening provide spacing between the casing and the bezel that allows air to be drawn into the casing when the main bezel is coupled to the casing.
