Abstract
A mounting structure for an analog converter box includes a mounting block having a base portion, a block first side wall extending from the base portion, an end wall intersecting the base portion and the block first side wall, and a block first front wall extending from the end wall and the block first side wall so as to overhang a portion of the base portion. The base portion, the block first side wall, the end wall and the block first front wall combine to define a block first pocket structured to receive a portion of the converter box therein. The converter box can be secured to a mounting surface in either of two, orthogonally-related orientations, for the convenience of a user and/or to facilitate testing operations.
Claims7
A mounting structure for an analog converter box, the mounting structure comprising:
- a mounting block having:
- a block first side wall defining a flat first plane;
- and
- a block window spaced apart a first distance from the flat first plane;
- an end wall intersecting the block first side wall;
- a block first pocket extending between the end wall and the block first side wall,
- the end wall intersecting the block first side wall along a block first recess extending into the end wall and the block first side wall in a direction away from the first pocket;
- and
- another mounting block separate from the mounting block and having:
- another block first side wall defining a another flat first plane;
- and
- another block window spaced apart a second distance from the another flat first plane,
- wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance when the mounting block and the another mounting block are positioned with respect to each other so that the flat first plane and the another flat first plane are coplanar, and wherein the end wall defines the block window.
