  • Patent number: 4621877
    Abstract: The present arrangement enables first and second section, or first second and third sections, of a housing device to be secured together without the necessity of a plurality of screws, or winged nuts, or clamps, or the like. In a preferred embodiment two side walls are formed with grooved edges. Each of the groove edges has its outer wall placed in abutment with a different associated resilient gasket and between the resilient gaskets there is located an extension member of a third wall. The grooved edges have an inverted U-shaped compression strip forced thereinto and the compression strip in turn forces the outer walls of the grooved edges toward the resilient gaskets which in turn are squeezed against the extension member thereby locking the three walls together rapidly. The removal of the compression strip enables the side walls to be free and hence separatable to enable the user to work on items inside of the housing.
