Abstract An housing case for electromechanical equipment requires connection of electric wires such as power cord, and incoming/outgoing singal lines. The housing case includes a body and a cover mounted on the body. A slant face having electric wire connections is formed on the body. The cover has two symmetrical sides which correspond to a portion of the housing case omitted to form the slant face. An electric wire hole for inserting electric wires to be connected to the electric wire connection is formed in one of the two sides of the cover. The cover is mounted on the body to cover the slant face. The electric wires are inserted through the electric wire hole on the cover. Then the cover is installed on the body to cover the slant face. The electric wire hole can be installed in either of two positions, thereby selecting either of two directions for the electric wires.
A housing for electrical equipment comprising: a body; said body including a slant face between two adjacent sides thereof; an outline of an omitted portion of said body defining said slant face being a generally right-angled isosceles triangle; a cover; an outline of said cover being generally a right-angled isosceles triangle congruent with said omitted portion; said cover having first and second sides; an electric wire hole in one of said first and second sides; means for affixing said cover to said slant face, whereby an outline of said housing, with said cover affixed to said body, is generally rectangular; and said means for affixing including means for permitting said cover to be affixed to said body in either one of two possible orientations, whereby a location of said electric wire hole with respect to said body is selectable.
