发明名称 WEATHER RESISTANT FLIP LID COVER WITH IMPROVED SEALING ARRANGEMENT
摘要 A. weather resistant flip lid cover for an electrical box or connector preferably includes first and second seals. A hinge pivotably couples the flip lid cover to the electrical box or connector. The first and second seals are preferably concentric. When the flip lid cover is in a closed position the first and second seals engage first and second sealing surfaces on the electrical box or connector to form a seal that complies with the requirements of NEMA Type 4, Type 12, and/or IP66. The first seal is preferably a V-ring. The biasing force of the flip lid cover is preferably sufficient to form a. weather resistant seal. The seals may form. an inner air chamber therebetween so that when the flip lid cover is moved to the closed position a pressure in the inner compartment is increased and presses a lip of the V-ring against the first sealing surface.
