Swinging gate rack
First Claim
1. A wall-mounted swinging gate rack for electronic components, comprising:
- a rack frame for supporting electronic components thereon, said rack frame including two vertical uprights, a lower horizontal rail, and an upper horizontal rail, each of said rails having two ends and an extending length;
each of said rails having a first pivot point and a second pivot point, said pivot points being located intermediate said ends and spaced from each other, said first pivot points being substantially vertically aligned and said second pivot points being substantially vertically aligned to thereby define, respectively, first and second substantially vertical axes for pivot movement of said frame;
a first bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall, including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and a first pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support;
a second bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall and generally vertically aligned with and spaced a predetermined distance above said first bracket assembly, said second bracket assembly including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and a second pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support; and
means for supporting said frame on said first and second pivot plate members at either said first or second pivot points for pivotal movement about said first or second vertical axis, respectively.

Abstract
A wall-mounted swinging gate rack for electronic components including a rack frame for supporting electronic components thereon, the rack frame including two vertical uprights, a lower horizontal rail, and an upper horizontal rail, each of the rails having two ends and an extending length, each of the rails also having a first pivot point and a second pivot, the first pivot points being substantially vertically aligned and the second pivot points being substantially vertically aligned to thereby define first and second substantially vertical axes for pivotal movement of the rack frame. The rack frame is supported on first and second pivot plate members of either the first or second pivot points for pivotal movement about the first or second vertical axis, respectively.

16. A wall-mounted swinging gate rack for electronic components, comprising:
-
a first rack frame for supporting electronic components thereon, said first rack frame including two vertical uprights, an upper horizontal rail, and a lower horizontal rail, each of said rails having two ends and an extending length; a second rack frame for supporting electronic components thereon, said second rack frame including two vertical uprights, an upper horizontal rail, and a lower horizontal rail, each of said rails having two ends and an extending length; each of said rails having an inset pivot point located spaced from one of said ends of said rail a distance between approximately 10% and 40% of said extending length, said pivot points being substantially vertically aligned to define a substantially vertical axis for inset pivotal movement of said rack frames; a first bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall, including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and a first pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support; a second bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall and generally vertically aligned with and spaced a predetermined distance above said first bracket assembly, said second bracket assembly including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and a second pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support; a third bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall and generally vertically aligned with and spaced a predetermined distance above said second bracket assembly, including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and a third pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support; means for supporting said first frame on said first and second pivot plate members at said pivot points of said first frame for inset pivotal movement about said vertical axis; and means for supporting said second frame on said second and third pivot plate members at said pivot points of said second frame for inset pivotal movement about said vertical axis. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A wall-mounted swinging gate rack for electronic components, comprising:
-
a first rack frame for supporting electronic components thereon, said first rack frame including two vertical uprights, an upper horizontal rail, and a lower horizontal rail, each of said rails having two ends and an extending length; a second rack frame for supporting electronic components thereon, said second rack frame including two vertical uprights, an upper horizontal rail, and a lower horizontal rail, each of said rails having two ends and an extending length; said rails each having first and second bores formed therein, each of said first bores being inset from one of said rail ends a distance between approximately 10% and 40% of said extending length, and each of said second bores being inset from the other of said rail ends a distance between approximately 10% and 40% of said extending length, said first bores being substantially vertically aligned to define a first substantially vertical axis, said second bores being substantially vertically aligned to define a second substantially vertical axis; a lower bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall, including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and a lower pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support; an intermediate bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall and generally vertically aligned with and spaced a predetermined distance above said lower bracket assembly, said intermediate bracket assembly including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and an intermediate pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support; an upper bracket assembly adapted to be fixedly attached to said wall and generally vertically aligned with and spaced a predetermined distance above said intermediate bracket assembly, including a horizontal support for extending outwardly from said wall and an upper pivot plate member mounted at the extending end of said horizontal support; means for supporting said first rack frame on said lower and intermediate pivot plate members at either said first or second bores for inset pivotal movement about either said first or second substantially vertical axis, respectively; means for supporting said second rack frame on said intermediate and upper pivot plate members at either said first or second bores for inset pivotal movement about either said first or second substantially vertical axis, respectively; said first frame and said second frame each being pivotally moveable to a closed position wherein said respective frame rails are positioned generally parallel to said wall; and means for selectively locking each of said frames in the closed position to prevent pivotal movement thereof.
