Abstract
An enclosure, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, comprises a plurality of peripheral frame members, a plurality of corner frame members, a plurality of corner members, a plurality of primary surface sheets, and a plurality of secondary surface sheets. In preferred embodiments, the components of the enclosure are joined together in a manner that inhibits liquids from accessing the junctions between the components. In this manner, the interior of the enclosure can be shielded from various weather and other conditions.
Claims12
An enclosure comprising:
- (a) eight peripheral frame members, each peripheral frame member including (i) a first PFM channel, (ii) a second PFM channel, and (iii) two opposed PFM edges, each PFM edge including a first PFM alignment element and a PFM joining element;
- (b) four corner frame members, each corner frame member including (i) two CFM channels and (ii) two opposed CFM edges, each CFM edge including a CFM alignment element and a CFM joining element;
- (c) eight corner members, each corner member including (i) first and second panels that comprise (A) an interior surface, (B) an exterior surface, (C) a corner edge, (D) an opposed free edge, each free edge including a first FE alignment element and an FE joining element, (E) an interior panel edge, and (F) an exterior panel edge, and (ii) an interior edge formed by the interior panel edges of the first and second panels, the interior edge comprising (A) an IE alignment element and (B) an IE joining element;
- (d) two primary surface sheets, each including four PSS edges;
- (e) four secondary surface sheets, each including two SSS peripheral edges and two SSS corner edges;
- (f) sixteen peripheral junction covers;
- and
- (g) eight corner junction covers;
- wherein each corner member is joined with (i) two peripheral frame members at respective peripheral junctions, with (A) the two first FE alignment elements of each corner member being aligned with the first PFM alignment elements of the corresponding peripheral frame members and (B) the two FE joining elements being joined with the PFM joining elements of the corresponding peripheral frame members, and (ii) one corner frame member at a corner junction, with (A) the IE alignment element of each corner member being aligned with the CFM alignment element of the corresponding corner frame member and (B) the IE joining element of each corner member being joined with the CFM joining element of the corresponding corner frame member,
- wherein the peripheral junction covers cover the peripheral junctions to inhibit liquid from accessing the peripheral junctions, and the corner junction covers cover the corner junctions to inhibit liquid from accessing the corner junctions,
- wherein each primary surface sheet is joined with four peripheral frame members, with the four PSS edges of each primary surface sheet being in the first PFM channels of the corresponding four peripheral frame members, and
- wherein each secondary surface sheet is joined with two peripheral frame members and two corner frame members, with the two SSS peripheral edges being in the second PFM channels of the corresponding two peripheral frame members, and the two SSS corner edges each being in one of the CFM channels of the corresponding two corner frame members.
