ELECTRONIC DEVICE ENCLOSURE WITH AN ACCESS MECHANISM

摘要

A device enclosure includes a housing, a shaft, and a front panel. The housing defines a receiving bay configured to slidably receive an electronic device. The shaft is slidably mounted on a sidewall of said housing, includes a rear flange, and is slidable between a retracted position and a deployed position. The front panel is rotatably mounted on the shaft by a hinge and having a fulcrum projection and is rotatable between a closed position that closes a front of the receiving bay and a fully open position which extends away from the housing.

1. A device enclosure, comprising:
a housing defining a receiving bay configured to slidably receive an electronic device; a shaft slidably mounted on a sidewall of the housing, the shaft having a rear flange, the shaft being slidable between a retracted position and a deployed position; and a front panel rotatably mounted on the shaft by a hinge and having a fulcrum projection, the front panel being rotatable between a closed position that closes a front of the receiving bay and a fully open position which extends away from the housing; wherein in response to the front panel moving from the closed position to the fully open position, the fulcrum projection engages the housing such that the hinge moves away from the housing and the shaft moves to the deployed position; wherein in response to rearward pressure on the rear flange of the shaft by the electronic device, the shaft moves to the retracted position, the hinge moves toward the housing, and engagement of the fulcrum projection and the housing rotates the front panel from the fully open position to a partially open position.
