ABSTRACT:
Provided is an adjustable motor cover designed to protect outdoor electric motors from sun and rain. The cover, made of a plastic material, is open-ended and has a generally LL-shaped configuration and is comprised of a pair of spaced parallel side panels and a top cover formed with longitudinally extending lateral recesses in which the side panels are slidably received. Detachably mounted within the cover interior are a pair of transversely-disposed motor clamps adapted to clampingly embrace an electric motor and, for this purpose, the motor clamps are formed with a base detachably mounted on the top cover inner surface, and concave sections oriented downwardly from the base, the concave sections having a curvature conforming closely to the accurate periphery of the motor accommodated within the clamp concavities. Formed integrally with the top cover inner surface and disposed longitudinally in the plane thereof, are associated pairs of stub-shaped members having slots in which the bases of the motor clamps are slidably received. Depending upon the length of the motor to be covered, each of the motor clamps may be adjustably positioned along the main axis of the top cover by positioning the bases of the clamps in a desired pair of slotted stubs. Projecting outwardly from the concave sections of the motor clamps are side braces which are slidably received in associated pairs of slotted stubs formed integrally with the inner surfaces of the side panels. With respect to the mounting stubs, these upper and lower positioning areas extend in a plane such that smaller or larger clamp areas may be defined between the clamp concavities by aligning a selected positioning area with the slots of the mounting stubs and inserting the side brace end pieces therein.
