Gasket retainer for mating an electrical device enclosure

A sealing assembly for mating an electrical device enclosure, the enclosure having top and bottom joinable sections, the assembly comprising:

• a first sealing section disposed on said top joinable section, said first sealing section including first and second upper projecting lip extensions, the second upper projecting lip extension having a height less than the first upper projecting lip extension, the first and second upper projecting lip extensions of said first sealing section forming a channel therebetween, wherein said first sealing section second upper projecting lip extension includes first and second side surfaces and a top surface, said second side surface extending below said first side surface to an orthogonal edge surface;
• a second sealing section disposed on said bottom joinable section, said second sealing section comprising
• a downward projecting lip extension, said downward projecting lip extension engaged within said channel of said first sealing section, and offset from said first section upward projecting lip extension when said top and bottom joinable sections are joined, wherein said downward projecting lip extension further includes first and second side surfaces, and wherein said second sealing section further includes a recessed edge having a bottom surface orthogonal to said downward projecting lip extension first side surface, and wherein said first sealing section first upper projecting lip extension further includes a top surface and a side surface, said first sealing section first upper projecting lip extension top surface in engagement with said bottom surface of said second sealing section recessed edge, and wherein said first sealing section first upper projecting lip side surface engages said second sealing section downward projecting lip first side surface, when said top and bottom joinable sections are joined,
• said second sealing section further including a channel adjacent to said first downward projecting lip extension, and wherein said second sealing section channel further includes first and second side surfaces and a top surface, said second side surface extending to an orthogonal edge surface, and wherein said second upper projecting lip orthogonal edge surface and said second sealing section channel orthogonal edge surface are engaged when said top and bottom joinable sections are joined,
• and wherein said first sealing section second upper projecting lip extension extends partially into said second sealing section channel, forming an opening therein, when said top and bottom joinable sections are joined, wherein said opening in said second sealing section channel further includes a stubbed gasket therein, wherein the stubbed gasket comprises a plurality of locating stubs, and wherein the top joinable section comprises a plurality of receptacle slots for receiving the plurality of locating stubs.
