Abstract
An arrangement for mounting plural covers on opposite surfaces of one or more planes employs elongated fastening nuts for receiving mounting bolts from opposite directions via the cover tops, formed with a pair of grooves which permits each nut to mate with a notch in a wall of one of the covers so that its rotational movement is restrained while housed therein.
Claims4
An arrangement for mounting two covers on opposite surfaces of a plane, comprising:
- a first cover having a top and a side wall for defining a completely enclosed space when mounted on one of the surfaces of the plane, said top having at least two apertures adjacent said wall which align with apertures in the plane when mounted;
- at least two elongated fastening nuts, each having a threaded shaft and a pair of grooves along its long axis;
- at least two bolts for affixing said first cover to the plane by engaging the threaded shafts of said fastening nuts via the aligned apertures of said top and the plane;
- a second cover having a top and a side wall for defining a completely enclosed space when mounted on the other surface of the plane, its top having at least two apertures adjacent its wall which align with the apertures in the plane when mounted and its wall containing at least two notches below the apertures for mating with said fastening nuts by slideably engaging the grooves, and
- at least two more bolts for affixing said second cover to the plane by engaging the threaded shafts of said fastening nuts via the apertures in the top of said second cover.

An arrangement for mounting plural covers on the surfaces of two parallel planes, comprising:
- at least two elongated fastening nuts, each having a threaded shaft and a pair of grooves along its long axis;
- a first cover having a side wall for defining a completely enclosed space when mounted between the inner surfaces of the two planes, said cover having at least two notches in its side wall for mating with said fastening nuts by engaging said grooves so that their threaded shafts align with apertures in the planes upon mounting;
- a second cover having a top and a side wall for defining a completely enclosed space when mounted on the outer surface of one of the two planes, its top having at least two apertures adjacent its wall which align with the apertures in the planes when mounted;
- at least two bolts for affixing said second cover to one of the two planes by engaging the threaded shafts of said fastening nuts via the aligned apertures thereof;
- a third cover having a top and a side wall for defining a completely enclosed space when mounted on the outer surface of the other of the two planes, its top having at least two apertures adjacent its wall which align with the apertures in the planes when mounted, and
- at least two more bolts for affixing said third cover to the other plane by engaging the threaded shafts of said fastening nuts via the aligned apertures thereof.
