Electrical power inlet connection device and method
11183799 · 2021-11-23 ·

An electrical power inlet connection device, can be attached to portable and/or transitional physical structures. While interacting with tools, an individual may utilize electrical and electronic devices to work on material, where the electrical power inlet connection device can be attached on an inside of, for example, a sawhorse leg. The electrical power inlet connection device has at least one female power outlet and a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) compartment, like those currently utilized near sinks for safety. However, the electrical power inlet connection device can only have a single male power plug. With GFCI, all electrical power inlet connection device applications assure added electrical security. A USB or other electrical/electronic connections can be added to the compartment for connecting to music sources, cell phones, the Internet, etc. within a GFCI compartment.

Grounding bushing installable to raceway before or after wires are in the raceway
11855399 · 2023-12-26 · ·

A grounding bushing with a central opening for electrically grounding a conduit, electrical metal tubing (EMT), or a pipe. The grounding bushing includes a stationary bushing portion and a rotatable bushing portion having slotted ends held together by mounting fasteners. The slotted ends permit rotation of the rotatable bushing portion away from the stationary bushing portion. After attachment to a conduit or similar structure, one or more mounting fasteners can be loosened to allow installation of additional wires through the central opening and into the conduit, EMT, or pipe. An electrically insulated liner extending around the entire inner periphery of the bushing prevents chafing or abrasion of any electrical wires by the end of the conduit.

ONE-PIECE ELECTRICAL FITTING FOR SNAP CONNECTION
20210013685 · 2021-01-14 ·

A one-piece electrical fitting for connecting an electrical cable to a junction box, the electrical fitting formed from a single, flat blank of metal into a cylindrical connector body. The connector body includes a leading end having an exit bore, a trailing end, a cap, an inner bore, and one or more combination tangs including grounding tangs, locking tangs, and flanges extending radially outward from the connector body. According to one embodiment, the trailing end of the fitting includes a rolled edge, and the leading end includes a recessed lip for accommodating an insulating liner within the exit bore. The exit bore in the cap is offset to one side with cable retaining tangs on the fitting configured to push toward the exit bore in order to ease insertion of cables and conductors through the fitting. In a further embodiment, the fitting includes two combination tangs that are positioned 180 degrees apart radially on the fitting body to facilitate easier snap-in insertion into the knockout hole of an electrical box.
