Abstract
An enclosure having a top which is folded over at the sides forming vertical side walls, and a bottom wall having large cut out portions. A vertical divider is positioned in the middle of the enclosure for forming two side-by-side receptacles, each for receiving an electronic module in drawer-like fashion. A front portion of the enclosure is hinged by a continuous hinge such that the front portion swings from a closed position to an open position. A tab on the front of the vertical divider engages with a slot in the front wall of the swingable front portion when the front portion is in the closed position for adding rigidity to the enclosure when the front portion is closed. A locking slide arm is provided for locking the hinged front portion in either the open or closed positions.
