  • Patent number: 9455560
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wall mount enclosure and sealing assembly for electrical devices, the enclosure comprises a housing defining an interior that is accessible from an opening in a front side and configured to support electronic equipment therein. A closure door is operatively mounted to the enclosure in a closed position to prevent outside access through the opening in the front side, the closure door including an inwardly facing portion generally facing towards the front side around all or at least a portion of a periphery of the door, the inwardly facing portion extending laterally outward of the periphery of the opening. A gasket engages at least part of the inwardly facing portion of the closure door with a seal portion or first portion pressed by the inwardly facing portion of the closure door when the closure door is in the closed position to form a seal between the front side and the inwardly facing portion of the closure door to seal the interior of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 8839567
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wall mount enclosure for mounting in a wall, including a housing with a front side, a back side and at least one side wall defining an interior accessible from an opening in the front side, where the front side has an outer perimeter extending outwardly beyond the side wall to interface with a front surface of the wall when a plurality of clamping mechanisms are engaged to mount the enclosure to the wall. The clamping mechanisms comprise a threaded fastener having a head accessible through the interior, and an at least partially threaded elongated member. A clamp body is provided and is pivotal about an axis by pivoting the threaded fastener in a first direction away from the interior of the enclosure and linearly translatable when in a second pivotal position to engage a back portion of the wall and mount the housing.
