Electronics chassis and methods of manufacturing and operating thereof
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a chassis for containing electromagnetic interference (EMI)-generating equipment, comprising the steps of:
- forming a cabinet having a base wall, said base wall having hinge race slots located along a forward edge thereof, lances located between said hinge race slots and said forward edge forming hinge bends;
forming a door having arcuate hinge races extending from a hinge edge thereof, said hinge races having locking tabs extending laterally therefrom;
inserting said hinge races through corresponding ones of said hinge race slots, said hinge races and said hinge race slots cooperating to form hinges for said door; and
bending said locking tabs to form bent portions thereon, said bent portions preventing said hinge races from being withdrawn from said hinge race slots.

Abstract
A chassis for containing electromagnetic interference ("EMI") generating equipment and methods of operation and manufacturing thereof. The chassis includes: (1) a cabinet having a base wall, the base wall having hinge race slots located along a forward edge thereof, lances between the hinge race slots and the forward edge forming hinge pins and (2) a door having arcuate hinge races extending from a hinge edge thereof and through corresponding ones of the hinge race slots to cooperate with the hinge pins to form hinges for the door. The hinge races have locking tabs extending laterally therefrom. The locking tabs have bent portions preventing the hinge races from being withdrawn from the hinge race slots.
