Abstract
Disclosed is a packaging system for housing a programmable thermostat. The thermostat is easily installed with a minimum of tools. The housing securely contains the electronic components and conveniently and attractively mounts upon the wall without exposed attachment means. A hinged door covers the control elements but controls remain accessable for deliberately setting the thermostat. The hinge has no loose parts and is established from elements carried on the door, the face plate and rear panel of the box like housing which encases the electronic components. The electronic components are held to the housing and the housing members attach to enclose the electronic components by press-engaging detent daggers. Finally, the packaging system allows for easy disassembly for access to the electronic components should repair be required.
