20090106947 | Cable gripping device - A device for gripping a cable is presented that has a retention member rotatably disposed within a cable guide such that upon entrance of the cable within an entrance port, the cable moves between the retention member and a wall, causing the retention member to simultaneously rotate and move toward the exit port and away from the wall until it abuts the exit wall and rotates in place as the cable is pushed out the exit port. When the cable is pulled toward the entrance port, the retention member simultaneously rotates and moves toward the entrance port and the wall, wedging the cable between the wall and the retention member. | 04-30-2009 |
20110073718 | CABLE SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY - A cable hanger is disclosed. The cable hanger may include a first latch configured to suspend the cable hanger from a strut and a second latch configured to suspend the cable hanger from the strut. The cable hanger may also include a cable saddle to hold one or more cables. When the cable hanger is suspended by the first latch and not the second latch, a gap may be formed between the cable saddle and the strut such that the cable saddle is configured to receive the one or more cables through the gap. When the cable hanger is suspended by the second latch, the gap may be closed between the cable saddle and the strut to secure the one or more cables. | 03-31-2011 |
20140030903 | CABLE GLAND FOR ELECTRICAL CABLE FITTING - A fitting, for terminating an electrical cable having two or more conductors, a central insulation portion, and a braided outer portion, includes a substantially tubular fitting body having a central bore extending therethrough, a forward end, and a cable receiving end. A tubular sleeve is positioned within the central bore of the fitting body and configured for insertion between the center insulation portion and the braided outer portion of an installed electrical cable. A clamping ring is positioned within the central bore of the fitting body about the tubular sleeve. Upon assembly of the fitting, the clamping ring is configured to clampingly engage the central bore of the fitting body and the tubular sleeve to secure the braided outer portion of the installed electrical cable to the fitting. | 01-30-2014 |

20080223600 | TWO-GANG ADJUSTABLE MUD RING - This invention pertains to an adjustable cover for an electrical outlet box. The cover is configured having a generally planar mounting plate with a collar surrounding an opening through this mounting plate. An extension sleeve moves within this opening and adjacent the collar. At least one fastener is located adjacent the opening and is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The fastener operates a locking device that engages a wedge against the extension sleeve when the fastener is in the locked position and disengages a wedge against the extension sleeve when the fastener is in the unlocked position. | 09-18-2008 |
20080251650 | Double mounted dual switch box bracket - stud divider - A double-mounted electrical box mounting bracket for mounting to a wall stud that includes: a substantially flat center section having a top surface, a bottom surface, a pair of opposing sides and one or more center mounting holes for securing the bracket to a structure; a pair of substantially flat base plates, each having a first end and a second end, an opening having a periphery for receiving an electrical box, and a bendable member extending into the opening from the periphery; a pair of offsets connecting the opposing sides of the center section and the first ends of the base plates; and a pair of substantially flat flanged ends connected to the second sides of the base plates by a pair of flange necks, wherein the base plates are offset and recessed from the center section and flanged ends. | 10-16-2008 |
20140028019 | CONDUIT HUB WITH WIPER SEAL - A conduit hub includes a conduit hub body having a cylindrical inner surface configured to receive an end of a cylindrical conduit having a male thread, wherein the conduit hub body includes a female thread and a counterbore formed in an outer rim of the cylindrical inner surface. The conduit hub further includes a wiper seal configured to fit into the counterbore such that a lip of the wiper seal extends beyond the outer rim of conduit hub body and a surface of the wiper seal engages with an outer surface of the cylindrical conduit, when the male thread of the cylindrical conduit is threaded to engage with the female thread of the conduit hub body, to resist the ingress of moisture, dirt or contaminants into the conduit hub or the conduit. | 01-30-2014 |
20140154908 | MODULE EDGE GROUNDING CABLE CLIPS - A clip assembly includes a first clip comprising two opposing contact surfaces connected by a U-shaped hinge, where each of the two opposing contact surfaces has protruding flanges with teeth for engaging a surface inserted between the flanges. The clip assembly further includes a second clip comprising two opposing contact surfaces connected by a U-shaped hinge, wherein each of the two opposing contact surfaces has protruding flanges with teeth for engaging a surface inserted between the flanges. The clip assembly also includes a wire connected to the first clip at one end of the wire and to the second clip at another end of the wire. | 06-05-2014 |
20140329420 | GROUNDING AND BONDING BRACKET - An improved grounding and bonding bracket-type electrical connector is described with improved properties for directionally orienting grounding conductors. The electrical connector has a body with a first and a second clamp area. The second clamp area may be partially formed by a second body member. A frame substrate is connected in the first clamp area, while a grounding conductor is connected in the second clamp area. The grounding conductor may be connected such that the path of the conductor runs parallel, at 45 degrees, or perpendicular as compared to the mounting line of the frame substrate. | 11-06-2014 |
