Abstract
This housing is made from four rectangular panels that are cut to desired lengths from an aluminum extrusion, and arranged in rectangularly spaced relation to define a large, rectangular opening. A rail extends along each longitudinal side edge of each panel and has therein a plurality of spaced, parallel, longitudinally extending recesses, which open at opposite ends on inclined, plane surfaces that are formed on opposite ends, respectively, of each panel. The inclined ends of the panels are secured together by four right angular corner clips at each end of the housing. The two legs of each clip project slidably and frictionally into a pair of registering openings formed in the two panels which form a given corner of the housing. A metal strap or handle extends transversely across one end of the opening in the housing and has rolled end edges which are slidably mounted in a pair of confronting, generally circular recesses that are formed in the side rails of the panel. The outer end surfaces of the rails have therein registering recesses which form a rectangular, outwardly facing channel at each end of the housing, and in which is seated a resilient gasket material which is used sealingly to connect opposite ends of the housing in a conduit or the like.
