Waterproof, gasketless enclosure

A waterproof, gasketless enclosure for housing outdoor electrical equipment comprising:

• a box having a base, sidewalls extending upwardly from the base, and an open, upper face defined by the sidewalls, the box being sized to receive an item of equipment to be housed therein;
• a cover fitting over the open face of the box to enclose the item in the box, the sides of the cover and the sidewalls of the box both having outwardly radiused sections adjacent their abutting surfaces for directing moisture away from their juncture, and the edges of the abutting surfaces further having lips to further direct moisture away from the juncture;
• gutter means formed on the box and cover for preventing moisture from seeping into the interior of the box and harming the equipment, said gutter means comprising respective gutters formed in the abutting surfaces of the box and the cover, and including a drain opening at the bottom of each side to the outside of the enclosure for moisture entering the gutter to drain to the outside of the enclosure;
• an upwardly projecting lip formed at the upper end of the sidewalls and extending around the circumference of the box;
• and,
• a channel formed in the face of the cover fitting over the box and extending around the circumference of the face, the channel being sized to receive the lip when the cover is installed, the lip and channel effecting both a closure between the box and the cover and a barrier to moisture trying to flow into the interior of the enclosure.
