AN IMPROVED UTILITY BOX AND LID ASSEMBLY

摘要

A lid assembly, for a floor mounted utility box allowing data/electrical cable connections, including: a frame, a lid, and a flap, wherein the frame is mounted upon the utility box so that, it lies substantially flush with the floor. The lid including rear, front panels hingedly connected; the rear edge of the rear panel hingedly connected to the rear edge of the frame. The flap is hingedly connected to the front panel, so that when the lid is closed, at least the rear/front panels lay flat and substantially flush with the level of the floor. When opened, the lid bifolds about the hinged connection between the rear/front panels, causing the forward edge of the front panel slide towards the rear edge of the frame, so that when the lid is moved to its fully opened position, the rear/front panels substantially overlay one another in the vicinity of the rear of the frame.
