An electronic enclosure case comprised of first and second case sections or so-called “shells”having mating abuttable rims. A plurality of spaced apart hooks extend outwardly from the rim on one of the case sections and are adapted for insertion into openings formed in the rim of the opposite case section. The hooks and the openings are sized and shaped so that the hooks will extend into the openings to enable the rims to abut against one another. When one of the case sections is thereafter moved in a plane parallel to the surface of the rims relative to the other case section, the hooks become latched in the openings and, there is a tight fitting retention of the two case sections so that the electronic enclosure casing cannot be unauthorizedly opened. The hooks and the openings are further constructed so that by squeezing the side walls on one of the case sections, the hooks will become released from the openings. In this way, only those parties having knowledge of the means for opening the case will have access to the interior thereof. The present invention also provides a unique cover plate which is adapted to extend over a portion of the casing and a unique battery case extending over a battery compartment.

An access controlled two-shell enclosure security casing for containing electronic components or circuits or other components and which shells are not readily separable without knowing a generally non-disclosed means for separating same, said casing comprising: (a) a first shell having a first rim, (b) means forming a plurality of openings spaced along at least a portion of said first rim; (c) a second shell having a second rim capable of being disposed in juxtaposition to said first rim, (d) a plurality of hooks spaced along at least a portion of said second rim, said hooks having a thickness such that they fit into said openings and which hooks are moveable in said openings along a longitudinal dimension of said rim and said hooks being positionable in the openings where they are retentively retained in said openings and so that said two shells are lockably held together, one of said rims being somewhat yieldable enabling its transverse dimension to be changed relative to the transverse dimension of the other rim so that said hooks are transversely shiftable and readily removable from said openings thereby permitting separation of said two shells and which means of changing the transverse dimension is generally non-disclosed thereby reducing unauthorized opening of the casing.
