Publication number: 20100128433Abstract: A pedestal style electronics enclosure provides an upright housing for enclosing electronic components. Installed at the top of the housing can be a hollow enclosure cap that defines an internal air gap. The air gap can be located between an upper, dome-like shield plate exposed to the exterior and a lower, contoured guide plate exposed to the interior of the enclosure. The air gap can help buffer the enclosure from solar radiation impinging upon the exterior shield plate. The interior contoured guide plate can help direct heated air rising in the interior of the enclosure to one or more vent panels located about the periphery of the cap. The hollow enclosure cap can be comprised of thermoplastic material and can be made as a single piece, monolithic structure produced by, for example, a blow molding process.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2008Publication date: May 27, 2010Applicant: Charles Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Walter Harwood, Albert F.

Patent number: 7418183Abstract: A fiber optic splice enclosure for housing an interconnection contained in a splice tray between at least one optical fiber of a feeder cable and at least one optical fiber of a drop cable is provided. The optical fiber of the feeder cable is at least partially contained in a feeder cable buffer or transportation tube. The fiber optic splice enclosure includes a support frame arranged in the enclosure. The support frame includes a central office side and a drop side. A basket is arranged on the support frame for storing slack of a spliced buffer tube transitioning to the splice tray. The spliced storage arrangement is sized so as to be able to store slack of the spliced feeder cable buffer tube while maintaining a predetermined tube bend radius. A splice tray mounting arrangement is arranged on the drop side of the support frame for supporting the splice tray.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2007Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Charles Industries, Ltd.Inventors: David A. Wittmeier, Wade K. Fournier, Jeffrey A. Plesniak, Walter Harwood, Carney P. Claunch, II

Patent number: 7193151Abstract: A pedestal enclosure for electronic components is provided. The pedestal enclosure includes a base section and a cover engageable with the base section so as to define an interior space. The base section has a generally rectangular configuration and having a plurality of longitudinally extending channels formed therein such that the base section is substantially self-supporting in the ground. The cover has a generally cylindrical configuration and is engageable with a cylindrical neck on the base section so as to define an interior space. A bracket system is supported on the base section and arranged in the interior space. The bracket system includes a pair of legs. The base section comprises front and rear housing sections that can be selectively assembled together and split apart without removal of the bracket system. A lock mechanism is arranged near the top or near the bottom of the cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2004Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Charles Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Walter Harwood

Patent number: 7031158Abstract: An enclosure for electronic components is provided. The enclosure includes an electronics housing that has at least one slot for receiving one or more electronic components. The slot is defined by a plurality of walls. A heat pipe thermal management system is associated with the slot. The heat pipe system includes a heat pipe having a first portion embedded into one of the walls defining the slot for conducting heat from the wall to a second portion of the heat pipe extending out of the electronics housing. At least one cooling fin is carried by the second portion of the heat pipe such that heat from the heat pipe is conducted into the fin and the fin dissipates the heat to the ambient atmosphere outside of the electronics housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Charles Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Eduardo Leon, Walter Harwood, William Bond, Frank Hernandez, Avinash K.
