Abstract

This hinged adjustable component holder for electronic component cabinets relies on a holster with adjustable brackets for holding a wide variety of types and sizes of gateway devices. The holster is provided with openings on all sides to allow heat venting by a wide variety of types and sizes of gateway devices. It is also hingably connected to the component cabinet in which it is mounted so that it can be easily and simply swung in and out for mounting, adjustment, and repair purposes. Further, the holster is provided with a spacing element connecting its hinge and its body so that ample space for connecting cables is left between the gateway device and the component cabinet. Finally, the holster is firmly held in position when swung into place in the component cabinet, but can be easily detached when opened by simply lifting it off of its hinges.
