Sealed electrical switchgear cabinet

Claim 1

A sealed cabinet for housing modular electrical switchgear comprising: a bottom case having four side panels and a back plate; a top cover for covering said bottom case, said top cover comprising an opening for the passage of handles of the switchgear therethrough; a window cooperable with said top cover to seal said opening, said window adapted for rotation about a rotation axis to rotate between open and closed positions, wherein said open position allows for access to the switchgear handles and said closed position restricts access to the switchgear handles; a raised edge on said cover cooperable with said window to tightly seal said cover and said window to each other; a lug attached to said window at an edge opposite said rotation axis; a slidable locking button having a latch adapted for detachable engagement with a nose of said cover, said locking button being supported by said lug, said locking button including two elastic fingers attached to said latch such that said latch and said fingers are slidable within a recess in said lug, said fingers having angled ends; ramps disposed on opposite sides of said recess, said ramps cooperable with said angled ends of said fingers such that said fingers are squeezed towards each other and released when said locking button is pushed into a locking position, said fingers thereby providing a biasing force for urging said locking button into said locking position; and stop means for limiting movement of said locking button from said locking position past an unlocking position.
