SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCKING AND SEALING TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENCLOSURES

摘要

The invention relates to a telecommunications enclosure (1) which comprises a base (2), a moveable cover (3), and an actuator (100). The base (2) and the cover (3) define an enclosed interior (4), wherein the cover (3) is moveable to access the interior (4) of the enclosure (1). The actuator (100) comprises a locking device (120) or the cover (3) comprises the locking device (120) for locking the actuator (100) in an actuating position A1. The actuator (100) is moveable between the actuating position A1 and a non-actuating position A2. The actuator (100) locks the cover (3) in a closed position, when it is in its actuating position A1. The locking device (120) includes a lock housing (130) having an opening for insertion (140) of a valuable article B to the lock housing (130) and a receiving seat (150) for accommodating the valuable article B. The receiving seat (150) is moveable between an unlocking position P2 in which the valuable article B is in an insertion position V2 and a locking position P1 in which the valuable article B is in an ejection position V1. The lock housing (130) is engageable with a catch member (160) to fasten the actuator (100) in the actuating position A1 while the receiving seat (150) is in the locking position P1. One or more latches (6, 7, 307) hold cover (3) to base (2). A lock (309, 311) or the actuator (100) locks the latches (6, 7, 307) closed.
