Abstract:
An enclosure comprising a base component having spaced side walls joined by a rear wall and by an upper lip portion, a cover component having a downwardly directed upper portion, and a hinge assembly connecting said cover component to said base component such that said cover component can be pivoted from a position closing said base component to a fully open position exposing said rear wall, said downwardly directed upper portion at least partially overlying said upper lip portion of said base component when said cover component is in the position closing said base component, said downwardly directed upper portion having an edge engaging said rear wall when said cover component is moved to said fully open position, said engagement being the only support for said cover component in said fully open position, said hinge assembly including a lug formed on one of said components and an aperture formed in the other of said components, said lug and said aperture being oriented such that in one relative position of said components during the pivoting of said components relative to each other, said cover component can be removed from said base component and in all other relative positions said cover component is maintained on said base component, said spaced side walls of said base component being substantially right triangles with a truncated portion disposed above said hinge assembly and defining said upper lip portion, each said upper lip portion not being parallel with any of the formed edges of the respective side wall in which each said upper lip portion is disposed.
