Security box for cable tv connectors

Abstract

A security box includes a base having a support wall with four countersunk mounting holes through which mounting bolts extend to attach the base to a building wall while spacing the support wall from the building wall. The base has a top wall extending substantially perpendicular to the support wall and having L-shaped rails on its opposite sides within which a mounting plate for cable TV connectors is supported. A cover has a top wall overlying the top wall of the base with a flange on its rear to overlie the support wall. The cover also has a front wall, side walls, and a bottom wall with the bottom wall fitting between a flange at the bottom of the support wall of the base and a pair of L-shaped flanges extending forwardly from opposite sides of the support wall and inwardly towards each other. One of the flanges cooperates with a cam-type lock, which is mounted on the front wall of the cover, to lock the cover to the base. In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the cover has an access opening for the cable TV connectors. Another embodiment has an access opening in each of the cover side walls with a mounting plate having a portion, which extends downwardly from a supported flat portion, supporting the cable TV connectors thereon.
