20090084664Method Of Sequentially Actuating Power Supply Switches Including A Neutrally Connected Switch - An interlock assembly for use with a pair of aligned multiple switch assemblies configured to control the supply of electrical power to an electrical panel. Each multiple switch assembly includes a two-pole transfer switch for a pair of “hot” conductors, and a single-pole transfer switch for a neutral connection. The interlock assembly is movably mounted relative to both of the multiple switch assemblies, and is configured to control a sequence of connection and interruption of each neutral connection relative to switching the hot conductors associated with switching each multiple switch assembly. The interlock assembly prevents the “hot” conductors of each multiple switch assembly from being connected without the associated respective neutral connection having been made in advance. The interlock assembly also ensures that the neutral connection of each multiple switch assembly is interrupted without previous interruption of the connection of the respective “hot” conductors.04-02-2009
20110100787Sequenced Separately-Derived Transfer Switch Capable Of Switching A Load Between A Pair Of Power Supplies Without Introducing Open Neutral Switching Transients - An interlock arrangement operatively associated with utility and generator side switches of an electrical panel including a first main switch associated with the first power supply and a second main switch associated with the second power supply. The interlock arrangement includes a first neutral switch associated with the first power supply, and a second neutral switch associated with the second power supply. A lockout sequencer arrangement has a first lockout that restricts simultaneous switching of the first and the second neutral switch, a second lockout configured to engage the first lockout to restrict movement of the first lockout when the first main switch is a conductive position, and a third lockout configured to engage the first lockout to restrict movement of the first lockout when the second main switch is in a conductive position.05-05-2011

20090212630Apparatus And Method For Powering Load Center Circuits With An Auxiliary Power Source - An electrical distribution system is designed to automatically connect a dedicated group of circuits, which are normally powered by a primary power source, to an auxiliary power source upon detection that there has been a disruption or failure in the primary power source. The system includes a switching arrangement that allows an operator to manually connect the auxiliary power source with other circuits that are not generally powered during disruption of the primary power source. The switching arrangement includes an interlinked switch or breaker arrangement that prevents any of the other circuits that are normally powered by the primary source from being automatically connected to the primary power source when primary power source is restored if those other circuits are connected to the auxiliary power source when the primary power source is restored.08-27-2009

20100187075Electrical Panel Input Interlock Assembly - A system and method of interlocking a plurality of electrical panel switches includes an interlock assembly having an interlock. The interlock has a first position that allows connection of one of primary power and power from an alternate power supply, such as a generator, to the electrical panel and prevents connection of the other of the primary power and alternate power. The interlock has a second position that allows connection of the other of the primary power and alternate power and prevents connection of one of the primary power and alternate power to the electrical panel. The interlock also is constructed to control the positioning and sequence of operation of neutral connections between the power supplies and the electrical panel.07-29-2010

20110017060HYDRAULIC PUMP - A pump has an axial drive shaft with a cam fence that extends radially outwardly from an axis of the drive shaft. The cam fence axially displaces, in respective cylinders, each of a plurality of elongate pistons arranged in parallel to and around the axis and angularly spaced apart from each other. The axial position of an outer margin of the cam fence varies as a function of its radial angle with the axis. In one part of the operation of the pump, a piston is withdrawn to uncover a radial inlet port to draw fluid into the cylinder from an internal reservoir volume formed in the drive shaft. In a second part of the operation, the drive shaft is further rotated to open a cylinder end port by means of a rotary valve and closing the side port of the cylinder with a portion of the drive shaft body. In a third part of the operation, the piston is advanced to push fluid out of the cylinder end port into an output chamber. The pump is double-ended such that opposed ends of any piston are drawing in fluid, and pushing out fluid, at the same time.01-27-2011

20090114006DEVICE FOR TESTING THE ADHESION OF A COATING TO A SUBSTRATE AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A device for testing the adhesion of a coating to a substrate and a method of using the device are disclosed. The device is adapted to substantially replicate and consistently conduct the adhesion test procedure described in ASTM standards D3359 and F1842. The device includes a support with a source of a pressure sensitive adhesive tape rotatably mounted to the support. A tape dispenser and means to cause the tape to contact a test surface are mounted to the support. Means to remove the tape from the test surface is provided that includes a take-up spool adapted to receive the tape removed from the test surface.05-07-2009
