Abstract
A cover intended for use in conjunction with the outside enclosure, usually containing the outside heat exchanger and compressor, of an air conditioning system. The cover features a recessed rainproof compartment in which may be located electrical and other components of the system, eliminating the need for and expense of an unsightly or inaccessible equipment box to house those components. The compartmented cover is intended for fabrication from plastic materials by a molding process to minimize cost and weight, maximize strength and durability and to present an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
