Abstract
Disclosed is a modular assembly for an enclosure for the equipment of a device, such as a gaming device, the assembly comprising panels that are adapted to be affixed to each other quickly and easily to form an enclosure using fasteners such as pop rivets in a manner that conceals the fasteners from view, and includes a top, bottom, back, and opposing side panels, each panel having four sides, a planar portion, and flanged edges along each side. A first type of flanged edge is bent through two right angles to provide one flanged member perpendicular to the planar portion and a second flange member spaced from, and parallel to the planar portion, and having holes spaced apart there along. The other type of panel edge is a single lip at right angles to the periphery to the planar portion and it has a plurality of spaced-apart holes along is length. The panels have an assembled position wherein the flange holes of each panel are aligned with flange holes of an adjacent panel and fasteners such as pop rivets are affixed through the aligned holes to secure the enclosure in its assembled position.
