Within the housing are input terminals connecting a service line to a main circuit breaker and output terminals connected to a plurality of branch circuit breakers. The barrier is a generally flat, thin body positioned to separate the input terminals from the output terminals. The barrier includes interlocking elements for disengagingly connecting one end of the barrier to the side wall of the housing. The barrier also includes elements for fastening the opposite end of the barrier to the housing while simultaneously engaging the interlocking elements and supporting the barrier in a plane parallel to the back wall of the housing.

International Classification:

B65D 5110

US Classification:

220 38

Abstract:

A weatherproof enclosure 10 with a side hinged cover 36 having a screwless cover latching means 52, which is not defeated by the pressure of expanding internal gases, is disclosed. The enclosure 10 includes a rain channel 76 located immediately adjacent a front edge of the box top 28. The rain channel 76 is generally J-shaped in cross-section and extends across the front of the box 14 and slightly beyond the two side walls 18 and 22 of the box 14 such that any liquid being received within the rain channel 76 will be directed over the side walls 18 and 22 of the box 14. The rain channel 76 cooperates with a downwardly extending flange 40 along the front edge of the box top 28 and an inwardly extending flange 60 along the top of the side hinged cover 36 to prevent the ingress of liquid at the top of the cover 36. Inwardly facing flanges 68 and 72 along the sides of the hinged cover 36 overlap the side walls 18 and 22 of the box 14 to prevent the ingress of liquid along each side of the cover 36. The cover latch 52 is positioned outside the side wall 18 or 22 of the box 14 such that the corresponding latching slot 56 in the cover 36 is also outside the box side wall 18 or 22, thus preventing the ingress of liquid through the latching slot 56.
