MOUNTING FOR AN ARTICLE WHICH PERMITS MOVEMENT THEREOF BETWEEN INACCESSIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE POSITIONS

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A mounting for an article, such as a high-voltage fuse. The article may be located inaccessibly behind a wall or accessibly in front of the wall. The wall may form a part of an enclosure and contains an opening. The article is affixed to one surface of a panel. The panel is attached to the wall so that it may be simulta-neously moved and translated (or pivoted) end-for-end (or side-for-side) relative to the opening to selectively move the article between its two locations. The panel covers or blocks the opening in both locations of the article. The panel may be attached to the wall by rollers mounted at or near one end of the panel and by links pivotally connected between the wall and the panel. The rollers are guided to move generally along or coplanarly with the opening by channels on the wall adjacent to the opening. In this way, substantially all of the movement and translation of the panel may occur in front of the wall.
