  • Patent number: 5751543
    Abstract: A slidable sealing cover assembly for unmetered electrical horizontal bus connections arranged in a customer compartment adjacent to a utility compartment for a panel board arrangement. The sealing cover assembly employs a cover member and a slide member attached to each end of the cover member. The cover assembly is slidably mounted on an existing fixed bus housing for the bus connections. A slotted end of each slide member extends into the utility compartment, and a slidable latching mechanism mounted on a wall of the utility compartment engages the slotted end of each slide member. When the cover member is positioned over the bus connections in the customer compartment, the slidable latching mechanisms are operated to enter the slot on the slotted end of each slide member so that the hinged door to the utility compartment can be closed.
