Title:
RACK-MOUNTED DOOR ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005060399
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Mechanisms for mounting, opening, closing and releasing a door assembly relative to a mounting structure are provided. The mechanisms employ a first structure that defines at least one elongated guide channel and a latching subassembly that is adapted to be mounted with respect to the foregoing guide channel(s) and to rotate with respect thereto. Rotation of the latching assembly with respect to the guide channel(s) allows a latching region, e.g., a V shaped latching region, to move between a first position (wherein the latching region is adapted to receive a mounting structure) and a second position (wherein the latching region cannot receive a mounting structure). In the second position, the latching region (in combination with the guide channel) is structured to capture a mounting structure (e.g., a projection associated with a cable management system) therewithin. Methods for use of the door assembly and latching subassembly are provided, as well as particular utilities thereof, e.g., rack-mounting applications.
