ABSTRACT:
A security cabinet for protecting components of a microcomputer at a work station. The security cabinet includes a hollow housing having an open front permitting access to the interior of the housing, a shelf slidably mounted within the housing, a door pivotally mounted on the housing between an open position permitting sliding movement of the shelf and a closed position enclosing a portion of the open front to prevent movement of the shelf and removal of components from the housing, and a lock on the door for locking the door in its closed position to the shelf. The shelf accommodates single or dual disc drives and when slid into the housing defines a storage space behind the disc drives and prevents the removal of a cooling fan from the computer. A monitor may be fastened to the top of the housing, and the door may be opened without removing the monitor. The door also includes bent flanges on its opposite sides that overlap the front edges of the housing, and an elongate opening dimensioned to permit access to the disc drives when closed but to prevent removal of the disc drives. Hinged wing flaps are mounted on the front edges of the side walls of the housing to hold the shelf in position when the door is closed and locked. The cabinet is bolted to a work surface utilizing distressed thread nuts which cannot be removed without having access to the cabinet interior.
