| 20120084948 | CABLE LACING TIE DEVICES AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - Cable lacing tie devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The cable lacing tie devices include a head assembly and a cable lacing tape. The head assembly being configured to retain a first portion of the cable lacing tape within the head assembly and having a length of the cable lacing tape extending from the head assembly. The head assembly further adapted to retain a second portion of the cable lacing tape extending from the head assembly. The methods of using the cable lacing tie devices to hold together a plurality of objects with a cable lacing tie device include retaining a first portion of a cable lacing tape in a head assembly, looping the cable lacing tape around the plurality of objects and retaining a second portion of the cable lacing tape within the head assembly. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120032436 | Conduit Connector for Flexible Conduit and Enclosing an Electrical Connector Assembly - A conduit connector adapted to connect to flexible electrical conduit has a first housing with a front portion adapted to engage a front portion of a second housing. The front portion of the first housing comprises a cavity adapted to contain a first portion of an electrical connector assembly, while the front portion of the second housing comprises a cavity adapted to contain a respective second portion of the electrical connector assembly. The conduit connector further may include one or more sealing elements to prevent the intrusion of dust, debris or containments. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120017432 | Application Tool for Coaxial Cable Compression Connectors - A tool for installing compression connectors of various sizes and types on the end of a coaxial cable has a base mounting a pair of movable anvils for engaging two different lengths of connectors. The base further incorporates a fixed anvil for engaging a third length of connector. The movable anvils define an aperture which is shaped to permit easy entry and exit of a cable while still applying a suitable retention force to an inserted cable. A connector seating holder is formed in the front of the tool. A slidably mounted plunger cooperates with the anvils to compress a connector. The plunger has a push head and a slide rod. A lock nut is threaded on the push head and is engageable with the slide rod to prevent rotation of the push head. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110207372 | Electrical Connector With Push-In Termination - An electrical connector having a housing adapted to receive at least one conductor of a stripped end of a wire, the electrical connector further including at least one terminal assembly, wherein the at least one terminal assembly includes a retention member adapted to engage the at least one conductor via a push-in wire termination. The housing may be configured with a cap that engages the housing and which can be pressed to permit a respective conductor to be inserted into or removed from a corresponding wire entry port. The cap may include a port through which the at least one conductor passes. The housing may have a first portion adapted to receive an edge of a printed circuit board and a second portion adapted to receive the at least one conductor of a stripped end of a wire. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110164424 | Electrical Socket, Apparatus and System - A socket assembly, electrical apparatus and system are disclosed. The socket assembly may incorporate wire push-in terminations or accept wire plug terminations. The socket assembly may be joined to or integrally formed with the electrical apparatus. A plurality of the apparatus incorporating the socket assemblies may be combined into a system. Particular embodiments illustrating various configurations of the socket assemblies, light fixtures including such socket assemblies and a lighting system including a plurality of such light fixtures are disclosed. The socket assemblies also may incorporate terminal assemblies that include two or more metal components to permit daisy chaining of a plurality of the electrical apparatus. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110070768 | Connector Assemblies With Integrated Wiring Diagrams and Methods of Using the Same - Disclosed are connector assemblies having an integrated wiring diagram or being in conjunction with a tool having an integrated wiring diagram, and methods of using such connector assemblies or tools. The connector assemblies include wire entry ports for insertion of respective wires depicted on the wiring diagram. The connector assemblies have at least one housing having a wiring diagram on the at least one housing, on a receptacle that holds the at least one housing or on a tool that temporarily holds the at least one housing. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20090313818 | Application Tool For Coaxial Cable Compression Connectors - A tool for installing compression connectors of various sizes and types on the end of a coaxial cable has a base mounting a pair of movable anvils for engaging two different lengths of connectors. The base further incorporates a fixed anvil for engaging a third length of connector. The movable anvils define an aperture which is shaped to permit easy entry and exit of a cable while still applying a suitable retention force to an inserted cable. A connector seating holder is formed in the front of the tool. A slidably mounted plunger cooperates with the anvils to compress a connector. The plunger has a push head and a slide rod. A lock nut is threaded on the push head and is engageable with the slide rod to prevent rotation of the push head. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090215326 | In-Line Push-In Wire Connector - A push-in wire connector has an enclosure that includes at least two wire entry ports that face in opposite directions. A terminal assembly is disposed within the enclosure and includes a busbar positioned between the wire ports. A spring member biases inserted conductors into engagement with the busbar. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090186517 | PUSH-IN WIRE CONNECTOR WITH IMPROVED BUSBAR - A push-in wire connector has an improved busbar suitable for use with either solid or stranded wire. The connector has a housing with a hollow interior. At least two openings in the housing provide access to the interior for the ends of wires inserted into the connector. A busbar is mounted in the housing The busbar defines at least two wire-crossing axes extending from an entry edge to an exit edge and a thickness between a top face and a bottom face. The busbar has a wire-receiving pocket extending below the top face on each of the wire-crossing axes and a wire-engaging protrusion extending above the top face on each of the wire-crossing axes. | 07-23-2009 |
