Abstract
An identification panel for a cabinet for electronic equipment, such as computers or computer peripherals. A back panel is mounted to an intermediate window and doorframe member having a control door frame, and a translucent window aligned with the back panel. The back panel may incorporate permanent identifying artwork for the equipment. This assemblage is accommodated in an opening of, and secured to, an external cover frame. The cover frame opening also accommodates a control panel door mounted on the intermediate window and doorframe member to cover the doorframe opening and slidable behind the translucent window to uncover the doorframe opening. The translucent window has a part-cylindrical convex surface which projects through the cover frame opening to provide a lens effect which enhances the visibility of artwork provided on the back panel. Additional artwork, for example model identification, may be provided on a translucent sheet overlaying the curved surface of the translucent window and removably located in position by engagement of the peripheral margins of the sheet between the translucent window and the cover frame.
