HOUSING STRUCTURE FOR METERS

摘要

A structure for housing a meter and comprising a hollow body having an open end for receiving the meter and a housing top that is detachably screwed on the body to cover the open top and define an enclosure for the meter. The housing top has a window for viewing the reading on a register of the meter, and the housing top is rotatable on the housing to cooperate with a stationary wiper for wiping the interior face of the register-viewing window clear of condensation or moisture. A special tamperproof arrangement interlocking the body and housing top permits limited rotation of the housing top to wipe the register-viewing view, but requires the breaking of a wire and lead seal or other part to detach the housing top from the body.
