ABSTRACT:
A cage for protecting computer equipment and the like, comprising a multiple number of spaced platforms among which such equipment can be mounted and secured therein without being capable of unauthorized removal. The platforms are secured together by pairs of rods having case hardened sleeves freely rotated thereabout, a lock mechanism being applied to the top of each of such rods, the unlocking of which provides an assembly and disassembly procedure for the cage. Up-turn lips on the front and rear edges of the lowermost platform, together with pairs of such rods and sleeves in the four corners of the cage, prevent removal in a sliding manner of any equipment mounted in the space between the platforms. A rigid metal guard for the cable connected to the rear of the mounted equipment is provided, along an up-turned lip edge of a platform, while a unique floating nut assembly mounted at the bottom of each of the connecting rods and sleeves provides ease of insertion and removal (assembly) of the rod, sleeve and lock mechanism to the cage. A stacking arrangement of platforms is also provided in the invention, as well as a keyboard ledge attached to the lowermost platform, such ledge non-removable after cage assembly.
