Abstract
A watertight equipment cover for protecting equipment comprising first and second housing portions with sealing mechanisms attached thereto. The sealing mechanisms of the first and second housing portions are sealably engageable with each other to provide a watertight seal therebetween. Further, the first and second housings are designed to conform substantially to the contours of the protected equipment. The watertight equipment cover may also include a rotatable mechanism or blister for engaging and rotating a rotatable structure on the protected equipment.
Claims19
A watertight cover for equipment comprising:
- at least one housing, said housing having at least one sealing mechanism;
- wherein said sealing mechanism is sealably engageable between open and closed positions, and wherein said housing conforms substantially to the contours of said equipment;
- a rotatable mechanism having
- a rotatable shaft sealingly engaged with said cover,
- a roller interface attached to said shaft for conjoint rotation therewith, wherein said roller interface is engageable with a rotatable structure on said equipment;
- a jog dial housing substantially enclosing said rotatable mechanism wherein said jog dial housing is sufficiently flexible to enable the rotatable mechanism to move perpendicular to the axis of rotation of said shaft.
A watertight cover for equipment comprising at least one housing having at least one sealing mechanism, said sealing mechanism operable between open and closed positions;
- at least one sealing flap disposed interiorly of said at least one sealing mechanism, said sealing flap having sealing flap edges, whereby said sealing flap edges are engaged in a watertight manner when said sealing mechanism is in the closed position;
- a jog dial assembly tangentially engageable with a rotatable structure on said equipment.
