A splice case alignment cutout is provided. The splice case alignment cutout may include a body having an interior surface and an outer surface. The body may be configured to have a length and a width, wherein the body is configured to releasably attach to one of a left side distal end or right side distal end of a back cover member. The splice case alignment cutout may further include an endplate seating channel spanning the length of the body along the interior surface of the body. The endplate seating channel may be configured to allow a rim of an endplate to seat into the interior surface of the frame. When the endplate is seated in the endplate seating channel and releasably attached to the back cover member, the endplate seating channel may be configured to align the endplate with respect to the back cover member.

Various examples disclosed relate to a cable clip. The cable clip includes a curved body including a polymeric material and extending from a first end to a second end, the first end and second end spaced from each other to define a gap therebetween. The curved body includes a first surface and an opposed second surface with a thickness of the clip defined therebetween.

A hot stick accessory with an attachment interface engageable with multiple types of attachment interfaces, including an shotgun-type attachment interface and a universal-type attachment interface. The accessory includes any of several operative components, such as a knife. The interface includes an attachment member with a first aperture and a plurality of second apertures arranged in an arc shape about the first aperture.

The invention relates to safety devices for cable power lines of submersible electric motors used as drives of centrifugal pumps for the production of oil and other formation fluids. A device for protecting and attaching a cable to pipes contains a housing with a slot for a cable, along the edges of the side walls of the housing there are clamps, one end of which is hinged on the first side wall of the housing, the other end of the clamps is hingedly connected to the corresponding lock, while the locks contain connecting loops with projections, and the clamps are made with grooves and a stop projection corresponding to the projections, the other end of the locks contains projections to create a rigid connection with the second edge of the side wall of the body when the lock and body are pulled together.

The present disclosure relates to a cable sleeving tool for applying a split-sleeve over a cable structure. The cable sleeving tool includes an inner guide member defining an inner passage for receiving a cable structure desired to be sleeved. The inner passage extends along a passage axis between an upstream end of the inner guide member and a downstream end of the inner guide member. The inner guide member also includes an inner surface defining the inner passage and an outer sleeve expansion surface for expanding the split sleeve. The cable sleeving tool also includes an outer guide member that surrounds at least a portion of the inner guide member. The outer guide member includes a sleeve containment surface that opposes the outer sleeve expansion surface. The outer sleeve expansion surface and the sleeve containment surface cooperate to define a sleeve passage having a transverse cross-sectional shape that curves generally about the passage axis.

Disclosed is a system comprising an apparatus and method to aid electricians or other workers desiring to pass a wire, cord, or other such material through an inaccessible area inside a wall, above a ceiling, or below a floor of a residential home or commercial building. The apparatus consists of two elastic poles with the first pole containing a magnet at its distal end and the second pole containing a void space along its longitudinal axis wherein a string of a length substantially longer than the length of the second pole is passed through the string having a magnet at one end so when fully passed through the magnet is at the distal end of the second pole. The method comprises the steps of passing the first pole through a first opening cut into the wall, ceiling, or floor; passing the second pole through a second opening cut into the wall, ceiling, or floor; manipulating first and second poles such that the magnets on their distal ends magnetically bond with each other; withdrawing first pole from first opening so that the string defines a path between the openings where a wire may be drawn through.

Various embodiments of the apparatus and/or methods are described for routing power to a wall-mounted appliance, particularly for routing electrical wiring and audio/video cabling up through a wall to power and communicate with a wall-mounted presentation device. The apparatus and systems include input and output enclosures with wiring therebetween and mechanisms for mounting the input and output enclosures adjacent to pre-cut wall openings. There exists at least one electrical input connector, disposed within the input enclosure, configured to electrically couple with a power source, and at least one electrical output connector, disposed within the output enclosure, configured to electrically couple with a wall-mounted appliance.
