Abstract:
1. An enclosure, comprising: a cabinet; an access panel being selectively moveable to a closed position, an intermediate released position, and a swung open position; and a hinge assembly pivotally coupling the access panel to the cabinet such that the access panel is pivotal about a first axis for moving between the closed position and the intermediate released position, and the access panel is pivotal about a second axis for moving to and from the swung open position, wherein the first axis traverses a vertical plane, the second axis traverses a horizontal plane, and the first and second axis lie at an angle to each other; wherein the access panel is moveable to a blocked open position that is lower than the swung open position, wherein the hinge assembly helps prevent the access panel at the blocked open position from freely moving to the intermediate released position and the closed position until the access panel first rises from the blocked position to the swung open position.
