ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to an electronic equipment enclosure assembled from four basic components including (a) frame rail members, (b) corner connector clips, (c) panel support clips, and (d) panel sheets. The frame members each include a pair of right angled walls terminating at flanges which form adjacent pairs of parallel, longitudinally extending internal and external slots. The internal slots receive the clips of the invention, namely, unique, simply constructed connector clips at the mitered joints to fasten the frame members in an assembled mutually perpendicular relation, and panel corner connector clips to engage and support the wall panels and/or shelves of the enclosure. The novel corner connector clip is generally dish shaped and comprises three extending arm members disposed in planes in a mutual perpendicular relation. Each corner connector arm of eight connector clips is adapted to be inserted into the internal slots of the mitered ends of twelve rails to establish mitered, three dimensional corner joints in the assembly of a parallelpiped skeletal frame. Specifically, each connector arm includes a formed recess portion having an angularly disposed threaded hole formed therein to receive a fastening jackscrew whereby the fastening screw may be tightened to engage the frame member to urge the lateral edges of the connector clip arms against the internal slot walls and at the same time to drive the frame member towards the mitered corner.
