The disclosure describes a frame profile of a rack for a switching or distribution cabinet, which forms a vertical and/or horizontal profile of the rack, consisting of a plurality of profile sections, which at least in part fit into each other, in order to form an open or closed hollow profile, with the additional features: at least one first profile section which has a plurality of attachment openings, wherein a first surface of the profile section determines an exterior assembly plane; by at least one second profile section a sealing plane for sealing of the inner area of the rack is defined; the outer assembly plane is displaced by the sealing plane to the inner area of the rack; and the attachment openings of the first profile section point away from the inner area of the rack.

A system for assembling a cabinet which includes a first base member having a first length and a base member channel extending the first length of the base member. The system includes a second base member having a second length, a second base member channel extending the second length of the second base member, a pair of opposing secondary members each having a third length and a secondary member channel extending the third length of the secondary members and a first cap member disposable in the base member channel. The system includes a first and second locking member disposable in each of the secondary member channels, the locking member extending from the first base member to the second base member when the cabinet is fully assembled. The locking members are engagable with the first and second base member channel for securing the secondary members to first and second base members.

An edge seal for a modular thermal isolation barrier for preventing passage of air through a gap in a data processing equipment arrangement includes a seal portion and a base portion. The seal portion is formed of a resilient material capable of deflection by a rigid adjacent structure. The base portion is formed of a rigid material and includes a pair of side channels opening at opposite sides thereof and a panel-receiving end channel. Each of the pair of side channels includes a first distal flange arranged to extend inwardly from one side of the respective channel and a second distal flange arranged to extend inwardly, and toward the first distal flange, from the other side of the respective channel, whereby each side channel is generally C-shaped and includes a channel opening having a width that is narrower than a width of a channel interior. Each of the seal portion and the base portion has a generally uniform cross-sectional shape.

A knockdown container or display in the shape of a 3-dimensional container is provide which comprises of two main element types, namely Sheet elements and Edge elements. In this design, all of the main elements of the container are joined one to another by sliding with respect to each other in a sequence that make an open or closed display or container that can easily assembled or disassembled. In particular, the edges of the Sheet elements have a shape that is fitted into matching slots of the Edge elements. The position and orientation of elements are such that they securely restrict unwanted movement of the elements with respect to one another, while minimizing the number of needed fasteners or number of additional restricting components needed to secure the Edge elements.

A panel set system and storage system is provided having faces which can be easily interchanged, creating a new look for the furniture and even the whole rooms The new decor is easily accomplished at reasonable prices the average homeowner can afford.

A storage chest has a base, a plurality of rails coupled to the base, and a side panel at each side coupled to the base between the rails. The base further includes a front panel coupled to the base between the side panel, a rear panel coupled to the base on a side opposite the front panel and between the side panels, and a cover movably coupled to the storage chest and configured to move from a closed position fully extending over the storage chest and substantially parallel to and opposite the base to an open position exposing an interior of the storage chest. The side, front, and rear panels and rails define openings providing access from an area exterior to the storage chest to the interior of the storage chest.
