DEVICE, SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS FOR PULLING ELECTRICAL CORDS THROUGH CONDUIT
An electrical wire pulling device is for pulling wire through a conduit and includes a T-shaped hollow body including a side inlet transversely intersecting a path between a top inlet and a bottom outlet, and a constrictor adjacent the side inlet. A pulling line source, including a supply of pulling line, is positioned adjacent the top inlet and configured to supply the pulling line into the top inlet and out the bottom outlet. A constrictor has a tapered section tapering towards the bottom inlet. The bottom outlet is positioned adjacent the first end of the conduit. The side inlet is coupled to a fluid source to supply a fluid into the hollow body to be pushed downward towards the bottom outlet and create a pressure differential that draws the pulling line towards the bottom outlet and into the conduit.
HEADLOCK CABLE INSTALLATION SYSTEM
A headlock cable installation system includes a headlock assembly, an extension rod, and a flexible headlock cable. The headlock cable installation system is used for installing a pre-connectorized cable assembly. The headlock assembly defines a cavity configured to receive a connectorized end of the pre-connectorized cable assembly. The flexible headlock cable has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the headlock cable is coupled to the headlock assembly, whereas the opposite second end of the headlock cable is adjustably coupled to the extension rod. Adjustment of the second end varies a position of the headlock assembly relative to the extension rod.
Fish stick assembly with lighted tip
A fish stick includes a light emitting component, such as a lighted tip, near the leading end of the fish stick. The lighted tip includes a curved lens that directs some light around an attachment piece at the end of the fish stick and generally in the forward direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fish stick. The fish stick may be made of a phosphorescent material and stored in a lit container with an LED and reflective surfaces. The fish stick may be made of multiple rods that are threadably engaged with each other and include a spring biasing element that increases the coefficient of friction between the threads of the rods. The fish stick may also be made of multiple rods that are threadably engaged with each other via collars.
Structure to structure electrical service bridging assembly
A structure to structure electrical service bridging assembly for electrically connecting a pair of structures includes a rack, a conduit, and a junction box, with each being one of a pair of racks, a pair of conduits, and a pair of junction boxes, respectively. Each rack, conduit, and junction box is mountable to a respective structure, such that each structure is engaged with one rack, one conduit, and one junction box. The rack is external to the structure and the conduit extends upwardly from the junction box to above the rack. The junction box is can be engaged to an electrical circuit of the structure. A set of wires is engaged to and extends between the racks. The wires extend through the conduits and electrically couple the junction boxes. The wires supply electricity from an electrical service of one structure to the electrical circuit of the other structure.
Fish tape coupling assembly
A fish tape coupling assembly includes a fish tape that includes a spool and a wire, and the wire has a distal end. A tube is provided that is comprised of a flexible material thereby facilitating the tube to pass through bends in a conduit. The tube is releasably coupled to the distal end of the wire when the wire has been extended through a conduit to draw the tube through the conduit. A plurality of sleeves is provided and a selected one of the sleeves is removably coupled to the tube. The selected sleeve has the wire extended therethrough when the wire is extended into the tube. Each of the sleeves tapers longitudinally such that each of the sleeves has a bullet shape. The selected sleeve coupled to the tube is inhibited from engaging bends in the conduit when the wire is drawn through the conduit.
Swivel assembly for cable-pulling purposes
A swivel coupling assembly includes a first elongated head to which a first cable is connectable and a second elongated head to which a second cable is connectable. A flexible tension member includes one end section which extends through the first head and is prevented from passing out of the first head toward the second head, and the tension member includes an opposite end section which extends through the second head and is prevented from passing out of the second head toward the first head. The first head, the second head and the tension member are capable of being rotated relative to one another, and the flexible tension member possesses a length sufficient to permit the first and second heads to be moved relative to one another between a position at which the longitudinal axes of the first and second heads are substantially aligned and a position at which the longitudinal axes of the first and second heads are oriented at substantially a right angle.
SINGLE BOX TYPE ELECTRIC WIRE PUSHING AND PULLING MACHINE
A single box type electric wire pushing and pulling machine is disclosed herein. It comprises a U-shaped shell having a first panel and a second panel, and an assembling socket accommodated in the U-shaped shell and having a first holder, a second holder, an adjusting rod disposed between the first holder and the second holder for adjusting the spacing, two extension parts respectively extended from an upper end and a lower end of the second holder, a gear axle hole defined by front ends of the two extension parts, two long troughs respectively disposed at a front end and a rear end of the second holder and two limit members correspondingly assembled to the two long troughs for respectively connecting with the first panel and the second panel of the U-shaped shell.
CREATING A CONDUIT FROM A COPPER CABLE
A conduit is formed in a cable (10) having a plurality of wire bundles (12) by removing one or more of the centrally located bundles (12). A bundle (12) is removed by penetrating a wedge (14) into the bundle (12) and then pulling the pierced bundle (12) out of the cable (10). The bundle (12) is then engaged by wheels (18) of a device (17) and pulled out of the cable (10) thereby forming the conduit. The process is repeated dependent on the size of the cable (16) and the desired size of the conduit.
Cable Securing Device
A cable securing device for installing and removing cable or wire through a wall. The cable securing device includes a rod having a first rod section, a second rod section, and a fastener disposed on each end capable of securing a cable thereto. The first rod section is movably secured to the second rod section in order to allow a user to independently rotate each end when installing cable to one of the fasteners. In operation of one embodiment, the user secures a new cable to a first threaded fastener and an old cable to a second threaded fastener. The rod sections are attached to each other if they had not been previously attached, and the new cable is threaded into the wall and old cable is removed from the wall through a single action by the user.
Draw wire apparatus
A draw wire apparatus, including: a rod and a motor for rotating the rod; a thread extending from the rod, for being attached to a draw wire, and shaped for advancing thereof upon the rotation of the rod; and an oil pump characterized in being operated by the rotation of the rod, and disposed adjacent to the draw wire, thereby drawing oil onto, thereby the motor lubricates the draw wire and as well advances thereof.
