ABSTRACT:
A meter box and a uniquely designed cover molded out of a substantially rigid plastic material is disclosed. The meter box comprises an open upper top with an upwardly extending rim member terminating on the inside surface thereof in an inwardly extending ledge member. Disposed above the ledge member of the meter box are a plurality of outwardly extending slots or grooves which enable the cover to be selectively inter-connected to the meter box. The cover is arranged and configured to rest on the ledge confronting the rim of the box so as to substantially close the open top of the box.
The cover comprises first and second sections and means for rotatably joining the first and second sections together. The first section has outwardly extending protrusions which engage the outwardly extending slots on the meter box so as to render the first section substantially immovable therein. The second section has means, such as, for example, an opening, which enable the user to lift the second section off the top of the meter box and move it about the rotation means whereby the meter box is selectively opened and closed. The meter box and cover of the present invention have particular utility because of the ease of construction, and beneficial cost versus strength ratios.
