Patent attributes
A weatherproof electrical enclosure having a base and a cover pivotably connected to the base by movable hinge clips. The position of the hinge clips can be adjusted to allow the cover to be oriented to open horizontally or vertically without needing to remove or remount the enclosure. The cover has cable openings at the top and bottom that may be shielded by hoods and may also have a latch mechanism to keep the cover in the closed position. The enclosure may also include a cover plate having ribs that can be selectively removed to create different kinds of apertures that conform to different types of electrical fixtures. The cover plate may have recesses on two diagonally opposite corners and horizontally elongated mounting holes to make it easier to install, position and remove the cover plate from the base.
