Zusammenfassung:An apparatus comprises a housing including a housing first portion having a first joint portion configured to overlap a second joint portion of a housing second portion so as to form a housing joint. A primary clamp is positioned at a primary location of the housing joint which abuts at least a portion of the first and the second joint portion. A mounting bracket is positioned on and contacts the primary clamp. A plurality of secondary clamps are positioned at secondary locations, each of which is different than the primary location, of the housing joint. A band is operatively coupled to the mounting bracket by positioning around and contacting each of the plurality of secondary clamps. The band is tightened to urge the mounting bracket and thereby the primary clamp, and the plurality of secondary clamps towards the housing joint to secure the housing joint.
