ABSTRACT:
An enclosure (20) includes a base component (21) attachable to a cover component (22) by a hinge assembly (23). The hinge assembly (23) includes lugs (36) carried by the base component (21) and apertures (40) formed in the cover component (22). Each lug (36) has opposed linear edges (38) and opposed arcuate edges (39). Each aperture (40) includes an access opening (41) which leads into a generally circular recess (42). The hinge assembly (23) can be connected or disconnected by aligning the linear edges (38) of the lugs (36) with the access openings (41). Upon rotation of the cover component (22) relative to the base component (21), the arcuate edges (39) of the lugs (36) are received within the circular recesses (42) of the apertures (40).
