Abstract
A wall-mounted enclosure for mounting electrical and electronic equipment and the like, in modular form. The enclosure body takes the form of a mounting assembly, including mounting modules, with each module including a backbone element and a cover element. The backbone element has a horizontally extending backplane bordered by two upstanding side portions, with an interassembly connecting mechanism for joining one backbone element to an adjacent backbone element. The backplane includes a flat mounting surface, with a pattern of preformed pilot holes, and two recessed wiring channels. Interconnection is provided by interlocks and screw anchor points. The cover element includes a horizontally extending cover plate with coverwalls and a cover assembly connecting mechanism for joining one cover element to another cover element. Adjacent cover elements are joined by mutual engagement of a mating tab and slot, and by screw anchor points. The cover element is removably mounted on the backbone element to rotate between an open position and a closed position. Modules are assembled into the mounting assembly by coplanar abutment of modules with mutual engagement of the backbone assembly connecting mechanism and the cover assembly connecting mechanism. Two identical endcap elements are joined to the outermost modules of the mounting assembly to enclose an interior enclosure space.
