Abstract

A mounting base 3, for example, a bezel assembly, which can be fixed, by means of screws 4, directly to a wall or ceiling, or to a conduit box 2, has cover members 5 movable between open position and closed positions. The open positions provide access to the screws so that the mounting base can be fitted or removed. The cover members are retained by the mounting base so that they can be moved between the open and closed positions without becoming detached. Each cover member is preferably hinged to the mounting base so that it can be pivoted away from the screw into the open position without becoming detached. The hinge preferably comprises a shell 8 and a pin 9, the shell being open to enable it to be fitted to the pin. A resilient tab 6 can be provided to snap fit the cover member to the base and secure it in the closed position, prior to fitting a removable head 1 to the base. The invention may be used in the field of fire detection to conceal screws to prevent vandalism or theft of a fire detector.
