  • Patent number: 10833496
    Abstract: A configurable enclosure including a cover operably attached to a base. The base includes a wall disposed along a perimeter of a bottom surface and a bottom surface having first and second removable portions configured to be peeled away from the base portion to create an opening through the bottom surface. Moreover, the bottom surface includes thin sections located between first and second tracks that extend around outer edges of each of the removable portions. Actuators are operably attached to the first and second tracks, wherein through actuation of the actuator, the removable portions peel away from the base to create an opening through the bottom surface.
