ABSTRACT:
Modular fascia cover assemblies for rack mounted equipment are disclosed. In a system comprised of several pieces of equipment mounted in a standardized rack, vertical spaces typically exist between the components. These spaces can be filled with fascia cover assemblies, and the present invention provides a modular system that permits openings of nearly any width to be filled. The fascia cover assembly is created by choosing a combination from a few standardized modular parts. The fascia cover assemblies disclosed preferably include components such as an operator panel and pull bar that can be included, respectively, at the top and bottom of the assembly. Most preferably, the operator panel is one and one-half units high and the pull bar is one-half unit high. A cover panel that is one unit high is also included. In certain embodiments, a larger cover panel component is also provided that is three units high. The modular panels are assembled on to a frame carrier that is preferably stamped from sheet metal to permit easy and inexpensive fabrication in any number of sizes. In preferred embodiments, the frame carrier and assembled panels are mounted to a rack using spring clips that are attached to the frame carrier.
