Enclosure box attachment apparatus, system, and method
An apparatus, system, and method for mounting enclosure boxes along a pole includes a receiver bracket independently cinchable along the side of a pole and including a receiver adapted to receive structure of an enclosure box. Once aspect of the invention includes the receiver bracket comprising a structure to receive a bar or other elongated component from the side and then allow the bar to drop and be captured. Another aspect of the invention includes a system for mounting enclosure boxes whereby independently cinchable brackets can be cinched to poles and a variety of sizes of enclosure boxes independently mounted to the receiver brackets.
1. A system for removably mounting one or more capacitors inside an enclosure box comprising:
(a) an enclosure box comprising an interior wall;
(b) a receiver affixed to the interior wall, the receiver being substantially rigid and including a slot or void;
(c) a capacitor bracket comprising a base with two spaced apart walls extending in one direction, a set of aligned apertures in the walls, a bolt insertable through the aligned apertures, and a nut threadably moveable along the bolt;
(d) the bolt being configured to removably fit and seat into the receiver to support the capacitor bracket in the enclosure box, the nut being tightenable an the bolt to compress the walls of the capacitor bracket to clamp and lock the capacitor bracket to the receiver when the bolt of the capacitor bracket is seated in the receiver.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the enclosure box is for wide area lighting fixtures.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein the wide area lighting fixtures are sports lighting fixtures.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the base further comprises a longitudinal axis, the length of the longitudinal axis being commensurate with the number of capacitors to be mounted.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the base has a width, wherein the width is less than the width of a capacitor which it is adapted to support.
6. The system of claim 1 further comprising multiple said capacitor brackets adapted for holding multiple capacitors.
7. The system of claim 1 further comprising a resilient member between the nut and one of the walls to provide a biasing force against the nut.
8. The system of claim 7 wherein the resilient member is a spring washer.
9. The system of claim 7 wherein the drawing together of the walls provides clamping force to lock the bracket against the receiver.
10. The system of claim 1 wherein the base comprises a C-shaped channel.
11. The system of claim 10 wherein the C-shaped channel is made of metal.
12. The system of claim 1 further in combination with at least one capacitor.
13. The system of claim 12 further in combination with at least one additional electrical component.
14. The system of claim 13 wherein at least one additional electrical component comprises a fuse, a switch, a ballast, wiring, or a control.
15. A method of removably mounting one or more capacitors inside an enclosure box comprising:
(a) an enclose box comprising an interior wall;
(b) fixing a hanger bracket on an interior wall of the enclosure box;
(c) hanging the base from the hanger bracket; and
(d) locking the base to the hanger bracket wherein the step of locking the base to the hanger bracket comprises drawing spaced apart portions of the base into abutment with spaced apart portions of the bracket;
wherein drawing of portions of the base together comprises moving spaced apart walls of the base towards one another;
wherein a bolt and nut are used to both hang the base from the hanger bracket and lock the base to the hanger bracket.
