Abstract
According to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, a mountable enclosure is one that may be removably coupled to a stationary object.
Claims20
An enclosure comprising;
- a mountplate having a coupling aperture disposed thereupon;
- a substantially hollow enclosure body,
- the body further comprising,
- a stationary cam train having a first stop at a first distance from the mountplate, and a second cam stop at a second distance from the mountplate;
- a movable cam follower capable of being translated distally and proximally relative to the remainder of the enclosure body whose position along said translation is alternatively limited by the first and second cam stops thereby defining a first configuration and a second configuration;
- a biasing member urging the cam follower against the cam stops;
- a clasp coupled to the distal end portion of the cam follower which becomes exposed and thereby capable of engaging the
- coupling aperture in the first configuration but not the second,
- thereby enabling the enclosure to be removably coupled to the mountplate.

An enclosure comprising a mountplate and an enclosure body;
- the mountplate comprising a distal end portion and a proximal end portion, wherein the distal end portion is configured to be coupled to a stationary object and the proximal end portion has a first lock operatively configured to retain a second lock thereagainst;
- the enclosure body comprising a substantially enclosed volume with an aperture
- at the proximal end thereof and a latching mechanism,
- the latching mechanism further comprising,
- a slide capable of proximal/distal displacement relative to the enclosure body and having a linear gear disposed thereupon,
- a toothed gear rotably coupled to the enclosure body such that the toothed gear is ratchetably engaged against the linear gear,
- a second lock, fixedly coupled to the toothed gear such that the second lock's distance from the aperture changes along its radial path,
- wherein, in certain alignments of the enclosure body relative to the mountplate, linear displacement of the slide will decrease the distance between the first and second lock thereby removably coupling the enclosure body and mountplate.
