  • Patent number: 9125302
    Abstract: Electronic equipment enclosures of the present disclosure are configured to house electronic equipment. The enclosures generally include vent opening configured to allow air to flow into and out of the enclosures, and fans configured to circulate the air within the enclosures around the electronic equipment housed therein. The enclosures also include backflow assemblies located between the vent openings and the fans, and configured to inhibit movement of unwanted materials through the enclosures between the vent openings and the fans. In addition, the backflow assemblies may include multiple vanes disposed adjacent the vent openings and arranged to block straight paths from the vent openings into the enclosures past the multiple vanes. The multiple vanes may be operable both to inhibit the movement of the unwanted materials through the enclosures and to allow air to flow out of the vent openings from the enclosures without moving.

  • Patent number: 8403431
    Abstract: A telecommunications enclosure includes a frame having a plurality of frame members defining at least one opening. At least one frame member that defines the opening includes a gasket channel positioned on an inner surface of said frame member. The enclosure includes a gasket disposed in the gasket channel and at least one panel coupled to the frame with a retainer. The panel covers the opening in the inner of the enclosure and overlaps an inner surface of the gasket.

  • Publication number: 20090065669
    Abstract: In various embodiments of the present disclosure an system for mounting a structure to a pole is provided. The system can include a pole mounting bracket connectable to a pole such that the pole mounting bracket can be affixed to the pole in a vertical orientation within a first plane regardless of the verticality of the pole within the first plane. The system additionally can include a platform subassembly that comprises a structure platform connected to a platform mounting bracket. The platform mounting bracket can be pivotally connectable to the pole mounting bracket and can be adjustably coupled to the pole mounting bracket in a vertical orientation within a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane, regardless of the verticality of the pole within the second plane, to thereby place the structure platform in a substantially level orientation.
