Abstract
An enclosure includes an enclosure body and a mounting member. The enclosure body includes a bottom panel. The mounting member includes a mounting protrusion and a securing element. The securing element secures the mounting protrusion to an inner side of the bottom panel. The mounting protrusion includes a mounting portion and a stopper portion extending from the mounting portion. A cross section of the mounting portion is less than a cross section of the bottom panel taken along a plane parallel to the bottom panel.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An enclosure comprising:
an enclosure body, the enclosure body comprising a bottom panel; and a mounting member, the mounting member comprising:
a mounting protrusion, the mounting protrusion comprising a mounting portion and a stopper portion extending from the mounting portion; and a cross section of the mounting portion less than a cross section of the bottom panel taken along a plane parallel to the bottom panel; and
a securing element; the securing element securing the mounting protrusion to an inner side of the bottom panel.
2 . The enclosure of claim 1 , wherein a through hole is defined in the bottom panel, and the securing element extending through the through hole to secure the mounting protrusion.
3 . The enclosure of claim 2 , wherein the bottom panel defines a recess portion, the through hole is defined in the recess portion; and the mounting protrusion comprises a positioning portion located in the recess portion to prevent the mounting protrusion from rotating about an axis perpendicular to the bottom panel.
4 . The enclosure of claim 3 , wherein the recess portion is polygon-shaped, and the positioning portion has a polygon shape corresponding to the recess portion.
5 . The enclosure of claim 2 , wherein a securing hole is defined in the mounting protrusion corresponding to the through hole, and the securing element extends through the through hole to be secured in the securing hole.
6 . The enclosure of claim 5 , wherein the securing element comprises a head portion and a securing portion extending from the head portion, and the securing portion extends through the through hole to be secured in the securing hole to enable the head portion located on an outer side of the bottom panel.
7 . The enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising a mounting panel; a mounting opening is defined in the mounting panel; and the mounting portion extends through the mounting opening to enable the mounting panel to be received between the stopper portion and the bottom panel.
8 . The enclosure of claim 7 , wherein the mounting opening defines a wider part and a narrower part connected to the wider part, and the mounting protrusion is adapted to extend through the wider part and move to the narrower part to secure the mounting panel to the bottom panel.
9 . The enclosure of claim 8 , wherein the bottom panel comprises a flange surrounding the narrower part, and the stopper portion contacts the flange.
10 . The enclosure of claim 9 , wherein the flange is U-shaped.
11 . An enclosure comprising:
an enclosure body, the enclosure body comprising a bottom panel, the bottom panel defining a recess portion in an inner side of the bottom panel, and a through hole defined in the recess portion; a mounting panel, the mounting panel parallel to the bottom panel; and a mounting opening defined in the mounting panel, the mounting opening defining a wider part and a narrower part connected to the wider part; and a mounting member, the mounting member comprising:
a mounting protrusion, the mounting protrusion comprising a positioning portion, a mounting portion extending from the positioning portion, and a stopper portion extending from the mounting portion; a cross section of the mounting portion less than a cross section of the bottom panel taken along a plane parallel to the bottom panel; a securing hole is defined in the mounting protrusion corresponding to the through hole; the positioning portion located in the recess portion to prevent the mounting protrusion from rotating about an axis perpendicular to the bottom panel; and the mounting protrusion adapted to extend through the wider part to move to the narrower part to enable the mounting panel to be received between the stopper portion and the bottom panel; and
a securing element, the securing element adapted to extend through the through hole and the securing hole to secure the mounting protrusion on the inner side of the bottom panel.
12 . The enclosure of claim 11 , wherein the recess portion is polygon-shaped, and the positioning portion has a polygon shape corresponding to the recess portion.
13 . The enclosure of claim 11 , wherein the securing element comprises a head portion and a securing portion extending from the head portion, and the securing portion is adapted to extend through the through hole to be secured in the securing hole to enable the head portion located on an outer side of the bottom panel.
14 . The enclosure of claim 11 , wherein the bottom panel comprises a flange surrounding the narrower part, and the stopper portion contacts the flange.
15 . The enclosure of claim 14 , wherein the flange is U-shaped.Cited by (0)
