Abstract
An enclosure comprised of at least two members creates a sealable enclosed space. At least one of the members is a vessel that absorbs thermal energy from the enclosed space and transfers it into material it holds. Built into the enclosure is a connection means for connecting an enclosed device to outside devices. Disclosed is a moat based sealing configuration for a top and base enclosure. Also disclosed is an easily detachable heat transfer apparatus in which thermal energy transfer contact from an enclosed device to a housing member is formed as a housing portion is moved into closed position and concluded as the housing portion is moved away from closed position.
Claims20
An enclosure for at least one electrical device comprising:
- (a) a plurality of members defining within their union at least one sealable enclosed space, and
- (b) at least one connection means for connecting an enclosed electrical device to an external power source or device,
- wherein at least one of said members is a vessel, and when said vessel is filled with material at least a portion of said vessel is a thermal interface between said enclosed space and said material, whereby said housing portion's thermal absorption potential is increasable by adding material to said vessel.
An enclosure for an electrical device, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of members defining within their union at least one sealable enclosed space for enclosing an electrical device, wherein said members include at least one base member and at least one top member, wherein said base member comprises at least one moat and a said top member comprises at least one hem that fits into said moat, and
- (b) at least one connection means for connecting an enclosed device to an outside power source or device,
- whereby said enclosure can be opened without the disadvantages involved with having a door and can be easily sealed.
A heat transfer apparatus comprising:
- (a) at least one electrical device,
- (b) at least one housing portion, and
- (c) at least one displaceable heat conductive mass,
- wherein
- (a) when said housing portion is in a closed position said displaceable heat conductive mass is a thermal interface between said housing portion and said electrical device,
- (b) said displaceable heat conductive mass is contacted by at least one other heat transfer apparatus constituent as said housing portion is moved toward a closed position, and
- (c) said displaceable heat conductive mass concludes contact with said other heat transfer apparatus constituent as said housing portion is moved away from said closed position,
- whereby thermal energy transfer between said electrical device and said housing portion is easily established and said electrical device is easily detached from said housing portion.
