Abstract: An interlock system for an enclosure can include a power switch movable between an OFF position and an ON position with a defeater arm coupled to the power switch. The defeater arm can be selectively movable between a locked position and an unlocked position and when the defeater arm is in the locked position the power switch is prevented from moving from the OFF position to the ON position. An interlock can include a pivot bracket pivotally supported by a support bracket within the interior of the enclosure and movable between a first orientation, in which the pivot bracket is out of engagement with the defeater arm, and a second orientation, in which the pivot bracket displaces the defeater arm into the unlocked position. When the door is moved into a closed position from an open position, a door bracket displaces the pivot bracket into the second orientation.

Abstract: A securing assembly for locking a first section with a second section of an equipment cabinet against hinging movement. The first section can hingedly support a door of the cabinet. The securing assembly can include a knob, with a pocket, and a latch can be coupled to the knob to be rotated by the knob as the securing assembly is rotated between a free orientation and an engaged orientation. In the free orientation, the latch can be disengaged from the second section to permit the first section to hingedly open away from the second section. In the engaged orientation, the latch can be engaged with the second section to lock the first and second sections together and the pocket of the knob can be receive an arm of a lock on the door to lock the door to the first section and lock the securing assembly in the engaged orientation.

Abstract: An interlock for an enclosure can include a primary door activator with an activator arm, a secondary door activator, and a rotatable arrangement that links the primary and secondary door activators. The activator arm can block a primary door of the enclosure from being closed when the activator arm is in an open configuration. The activator arm can be configured to rotate with the rotatable arrangement in a first direction towards the open configuration as the primary door is opened, and in a second direction away from the open configuration as the primary door is closed. The secondary door activator can be configured to engage the rotatable arrangement to prevent rotation of the rotatable arrangement when the secondary door is open, and to permit rotation of the rotatable arrangement when the secondary door is closed.
