ABSTRACT:
A snap-together housing is disclosed having a single fastener holding the multi-part housing together. The housing has a base, around which upper and lower panels fit in a clamshell arrangement. The wrap-around panels provide design contours and are the color bearing elements of the housing. Easy installation is achieved by a tab positioned at the rear of the lower panel which allows the lower panel to rotate upward around the base. A tab on the inner front surface of the lower panel engages a detent on the front of the base thereby preventing the lower panel from rotating downward without first being laterally separated from the base. The upper panel, held in position by a single fastener, interlocks with the front surface of the lower panel to prevent the lateral separation.
