Enclosure for Preventing Tampering of Mobile Communication Equipment in Transportation Industry
First Claim
1. A tamper proof system including an enclosure for mobile communications equipment configured to provide data indicative of a transportation delivery vehicle, comprising:
- a base member comprising at least one wall defining a cavity configured to receive the mobile communications equipment, the at least one wall having a top edge and at least one recess extending downwardly from the top edge, the recess having a first dimension;
mobile communications equipment disposed in the cavity and having at least one device connector disposed proximate the recess;
a retractable member configured to retract from the base member to an open position to permit access to the mobile communications equipment, and also configured to have a closed position proximate the at least one recess to form at least one enclosure opening; and
a cable extending through the at least one enclosure opening and having a cable connector configured to connect with the device connector, the cable connector having a dimension greater than the at least one enclosure opening, the at least one enclosure opening configured to prevent tampering with the cable connector when the retractable member is in the closed position.

Abstract
An enclosure configured to enclose, and prevent the tampering of, mobile communication equipment for transportation industry vehicles, and which enclosure is accessible by authorized personnel. In one preferred embodiment, the enclosure is a case configured to receive mobile communication equipment when selectively opened, and which when closed prevents the tampering with the mobile communication equipment. Openings are provided in the case such that cables and harnesses can extend from the equipment to external connectors, yet which cables cannot be accessed or tampered with while the case is closed during operation of the vehicle. The openings have restricted spacing allowing the cabling to extend there through, yet which have smaller dimensions than the equipment connectors such that the connectors cannot be disengaged or accessed by unintended personnel.
