Title: While-in-use cover assembly for wire box
Inventor: CHAVAN VINAYAK MANOHAR
IPC: B65D43/16
Filed: 2020-11-20
Abstract: ABSTRACT Disclosed is a while-in-use cover assembly for an electric wire box, having: a base having a front surface and a bottom surface; a lid that selectively covers the base front surface, wherein a first geometric shape is formed by a top profile of the lid, and the while-in-use cover assembly is confined to the first geometric shape when closed; and a ball-joint connecting the lid and the base, wherein the lid can pivot relative to the base, about the ball-joint, for positioning the lid against the base and away from the base, wherein: when the lid is positioned against the base the while-in-use cover assembly is closed; and when the lid is positioned away from the base, the while-in-use cover assembly is opened.
