DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Example]

[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the EIA equipment box of the present invention, which is composed of a main body 1, a cover 2, a front panel 3, and a rear panel 4. The cover 2 is attached and fixed to the main body 1, and two hooks 11 on the left and right of the front panel 3 are hooked into square holes 12 in the cover 2, so that the rear panel 4 is attached and fixed to the rear side of the cover 2.

[0012] The bottom of the U-shaped main body 1 is the mounting surface and is provided with holes for various installation methods. Round holes 7 are for mounting to the upper back of floor-mounted stand B, and the four round holes 7 are spaced the same, so by using any two of them, you can choose the installation direction of the front of the EIA equipment box from top, bottom, left, or right.

[0013] The four small round holes 8 are provided for attaching and fixing to the back of the ceiling mount bracket C. Since the four small round holes 8 are spaced the same, you can choose the installation direction of the front of the EIA equipment box from top, bottom, left, or right.

[0014] The eight nut welds 10 serve as holes for attachment to the front and back of floor installation stand B, with the inner four used for vertical installation and the outer four used for horizontal installation. Because the spacing between the four inner nut welds 10 is the same, the installation orientation of the front of the EIA equipment box when installed vertically can be selected from up, down, left, or right.

[0015] Eight slots 9 are provided and are used when attaching to a wall, and four of them at any of the four corners are used in consideration of safety during construction.

[0016] The top and sides of the U-shaped cover 2 and the front panel 3 are provided with many slit-like elongated holes 14 for exhausting heat, and the form is excellent in heat dissipation, and when storing a device that generates more heat, the front panel 3 and the back panel 4 are detachable, so by removing them, the heat exhaust effect is further enhanced.

[0017] A lock mechanism 6 is attached to the front panel 3, and it can be locked together with the cover 2, which not only provides security in terms of crime prevention, but also serves as a dust cover when the EIA equipment is rack-mounted, preventing breakdowns in the EIA equipment, and also plays the role of a decorative panel that does not mar the appearance, and prevents erroneous operation of the operating surface.

[0018] When the main body 1 and cover 2 are combined, there are three mounting holes on the front and back sides, allowing the position of the cover 2 to be adjusted; by selecting the rearmost mounting hole, the distance between the EIA mounting bracket 5 and the back panel 4 can be secured, making it easier to accommodate EIA equipment with a long depth; by selecting another hole, the distance between the front panel 3 and the EIA mounting bracket 5 can be secured, allowing space to be maintained when connecting a cable with a connector to the front of the EIA equipment; the distance from the EIA mounting bracket 5 to the front panel 3 and back panel 4 can be adjusted to suit the size of the EIA equipment to be installed and the cable specifications.

[0019] Four oval wiring holes 13 are cut out on the back panel 4, making it easy to pass power cords, connection cables, etc. Also, grooved rubber is attached around the wiring holes 13, so there is no need to worry about damaging the wires, making it safe.

[0020] By attaching the included rubber feet to the four corners of the bottom of the EIA equipment box, it can be placed on a desk or in a rack without damaging the surface.

[0021] Figure 2 is a perspective view of the EIA equipment box of this invention when it is mounted vertically on a floor stand B, and is designed so that operation from the side can be performed by removing the front panel 3. Also, as mentioned above, the spacing between the four holes of the nut welds 10 is the same, so the front of the EIA equipment box can be installed in any direction, up, down, left, or right, making it possible to operate it from above, for example.

[0022] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the EIA equipment box of this invention when it is mounted horizontally on a floor-mounted stand B, and is designed so that the front panel 3 can be removed if operation is desired from the front.

[0023] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the EIA equipment box of this invention, with the front panel 3 facing upwards and fixed horizontally to the ceiling mount bracket C, and is designed to be attached to the back of the ceiling mount bracket C. Also, as mentioned above, the spacing between the four small round holes 8 is the same, so the front of the EIA equipment box can be installed in any direction, up, down, left, or right. Therefore, if you want to install it closer to the ceiling board D, you can rotate it 90 degrees and install it vertically, which is convenient as it allows you to operate the EIA equipment from the side.

[0024] 5 is a perspective view of the EIA equipment box of this invention installed horizontally on a wall E. The EIA equipment can be mounted and attached directly to the wall without the need for additional wall mounting hardware. Furthermore, as mentioned above, by using one of the four corner holes of the elongated hole 9, the box can also be installed vertically, for example, when installation space is limited or depending on the specifications of the EIA equipment to be installed.

[0025] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the EIA equipment box of this invention installed horizontally on a wall E and with a display A attached, and by incorporating an auxiliary plate 15 with a VESA-standard structure between the cover 2 and the display A, strength is increased and installation can be space-saving as there is no need to use wall mounting hardware for the display A. Also, since the cover 2 has many slit-shaped elongated holes 14, even if the VESA standard on the back of the display A is off-center, the display A screen center can be adjusted to be closer to the center of the cover 2 and installed.

[0026] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the EIA equipment box of this invention installed horizontally on a wall E, with a display A attached to a wall mounting bracket F with left and right swivel and tilt, and the structure allows the wall mounting bracket F with left and right swivel and tilt to be attached between the display A and the auxiliary plate 15. By combining the wall mounting bracket F with left and right swivel and tilt, the display A can be installed at a high location and tilted or swiveled left and right, so there are no restrictions on the installation location and it is very convenient. [Industrial Applicability]

[0027] The EIA equipment box of this invention can be used as a wall mounting bracket to attach a display, but it can also be used to attach speakers, amplifiers, surveillance cameras, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
