Abstract

Apparatus for stacking one computer control unit of a certain type on top of another computer control unit of the same type comprising a plurality of walls which are secured together to form a frame having a central opening. Each of the walls has an outer surface, an inner surface, a top side and a bottom side. Reinforcing members are secured to at least a plurality of the inner surfaces for adding strength to the open frame. The reinforcing members have a top surface and a bottom surface so that the open frame may be positioned over the top portion of one computer control unit so that the bottom surface contacts at least a portion of the one computer control unit and the other computer control unit may be positioned on the top surface of the reinforcing members. All of the components are formed from metal and are secured together in the desired relationship by welding.
