A system for fastening a cover to a body of an explosion-proof enclosure using a plurality of fastening devices. Each fastening device can include a first load distributing member disposed on a body flange of a body of the explosion-proof enclosure. Each fastening device can also include a second load distributing member disposed on a cover flange of a cover of the explosion-proof enclosure. Each fastening device can further include a fastener positioned atop the first load distributing member, where the fastener traverses the first load distributing member, the cover flange, and the body flange. Each fastening device can also include a fastener receiver positioned under the second load distributing member and mechanically coupled to the fastener.

1. A system for fastening a cover to a body of an enclosure, comprising: a flange comprising at least one slotted aperture disposed in a distal end of the flange;an opposing flange comprising at least one anchor receiver, wherein the opposing flange abuts against the flange; andat least one fastening device, wherein each fastening device of the at least one fastening device comprises: an anchor hingedly disposed in the at least one anchor receiver of the opposing flange;a stem comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the anchor, and wherein the second end is movably disposed within the at least one slotted aperture of the flange; anda head movably coupled to the second end of the stem, wherein the head is coupled to an outer surface of the flange adjacent to the at least one slotted aperture when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one fastening device further comprises: a load distributing member disposed on the outer surface of the flange, wherein the head abuts against the load distributing member. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the load distributing member comprises a load distributing member slotted aperture into which the stem is disposed when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the load distributing member slotted aperture is disposed within a portion of the load distributing member that extends beyond the distal end of the flange, wherein the at least one slotted aperture of the flange is substantially aligned with the load distributing member slotted aperture of the load distributing member, and wherein the stem is disposed within the at least one slotted aperture and the load distributing member slotted aperture when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the stem is disposed within the at least one slotted aperture of the flange and the head abuts against the outer surface of the flange when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the opposing flange further comprises an opposing flange slotted aperture, wherein the stem is disposed within the opposing flange slotted aperture when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the anchor remains disposed in the anchor receiver as the anchor hingedly rotates. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the enclosure is an explosion-proof enclosure, and wherein the flange and the opposing flange, when coupled by the at least one fastening device, forms a flame path. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the anchor is shaped as a rod and is substantially perpendicular to the stem. 10. A system for fastening a cover to a body of an enclosure, comprising: a flange;an opposing flange, wherein the opposing flange abuts against the flange;a first load distributing member disposed on an outer surface of the flange;a second load distributing member comprising at least one anchor receiver, wherein the second load distributing member is disposed on an outer surface of the opposing flange; andat least one fastening device, wherein each of the at least one fastening devices comprises:an anchor disposed in the at least one anchor receiver of the second load distributing member;a stem comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the anchor, and wherein the second end is disposed within the at least one slotted aperture of the flange; anda head movably coupled to the second end of the stem, wherein the head abuts against an outer surface of the first load distributing member. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the first load distributing member is among a plurality of first load distributing members, and wherein the second load distributing member is among a plurality of second load distributing members. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the first load distributing member comprises a first load distributing member slotted aperture into which the stem is disposed when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the flange comprises a flange slotted aperture that aligns with the first load distributing member slotted aperture of the first load distributing member, wherein the stem is disposed within the flange slotted aperture and the first load distributing member slotted aperture when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the first load distributing member slotted aperture is disposed within a portion of the first load distributing member that extends beyond a distal end of the flange. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein the second load distributing member comprises a second load distributing member slotted aperture into which the stem is disposed when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the second load distributing member slotted aperture is disposed within a portion of the second load distributing member that extends beyond a distal end of the opposing flange. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the at least one anchor receiver is disposed within the portion of the second load distributing member that extends beyond the distal end of the opposing flange. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein the opposing flange comprises an opposing flange slotted aperture that aligns with the second load distributing member slotted aperture of the second load distributing member, wherein the stem is disposed within the opposing flange slotted aperture and the second load distributing member slotted aperture when the at least one fastening device couples the flange and the opposing flange. 19. The system of claim 10, wherein the anchor is rotatably coupled to the anchor receiver. 20. The system of claim 10, wherein the enclosure is an explosion-proof enclosure, and wherein the flange and the opposing flange, when coupled by the at least one fastening device, forms a flame path.
