UNIVERSAL HARDWARE MOUNT
An extendable hardware mount is disclosed. The mount includes a bracket and a rail system allowing the bracket to move between an extended position and a contracted position. The bracket may be detachable from the rail system. The bracket may include a securement system providing at least one securement location for equipment.
Swing lid horizontal surface cover
A horizontal surface cover with a cover plate, at least one opening, and at least one access door. The cover plate is configured to cover an electrical device within an electrical box. The at least one opening extends through the cover plate and is sized to allow access to the electrical device through the at least one opening. The at least one access door is sized and shaped to fit within the at least one opening, and has a hinge with a hinge axis. The at least one access door is configured to translate along the hinge axis and rotate about the hinge axis to move between a closed position and an open position. The at least one access door is aligned with and inside of the at least one opening when in the closed position, and is misaligned with the at least one opening when in the open position.
Watertight electrical compartment for use in irrigation devices and methods of use
A watertight electrical compartment for use in an irrigation device can include a compartment body having a chamber and a sealing section configured to mate with one or more sealing rings. A sealing cap can mate with the sealing section and/or the sealing rings to seal the chamber. A cap retainer can be advanced over at least a portion of the sealing cap. One of the compartment body and cap retainer can have internal threads to be screwed onto external threads of the other one of the compartment body and cap retainer. The cap retainer can also have a stopping feature to keep the sealing cap in its sealed position. The watertight electrical compartment can be used in a wireless flow sensor assembly, a battery operated irrigation controller, and/or a battery-operated central controller device, to provide irrigation control, and/or sensor information, without the need for AC power.
Retrofit remote control device mounting assembly
A remote control device may be mounted to a structure. The remote control device may include a control unit, a base, a faceplate, an adapter, and a mounting plate. The adapter may be configured to be attached to the faceplate. The adapter may be configured to be secured to the structure. The mounting plate may float between the adapter and the structure when the adapter is secured to the structure. The mounting plate may include a frame, a mounting tab, and a plurality of spring arms. The mounting tab may extend from the frame, for example, a platform on the frame. The mounting tab may be configured to prevent rotation of the base of the remote control device when the base is attached to the mounting plate. The plurality of spring arms may be configured to bias the mounting tab away from the structure.
SURFACE-FLUSH ELECTRICAL PLATE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE
A flush-mounted cover apparatus is provided for electrical and other components mounted in a structure, such as a wall, floor or ceiling. The cover apparatus includes a main body with a hollow interior receiving the component. The main body includes an outer lip with perforations. A locking mechanism secures the main body in the structure. A fitting system accommodates adjusting the cover apparatus position relative to the structure surface for flush-mounting. An outer plate is mounted on the main body and provides access thereto. A finish guard is configured for mounting on the outer plate.
GROOVE INDICATED JUNCTION BOX
In an example embodiment, a junction box may include a flashing. The flashing may define a first groove. The first groove may be disposed relative to a first center axis on a first plane. The junction box may also include a housing. The housing may include a bottom portion. The bottom portion may define a second groove. The second groove may be disposed relative to a second center axis. The second center axis may be coincident with the first center axis in a direction that is substantially parallel to the first plane of the first groove. In addition, the second groove may be located on a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane of the first groove. Further, the second groove may be configured to indicate a suitable hole position in the bottom portion.
Wall Box Providing Adjustable Support for a Control Device
A wall box may provide adjustable support for a control device, such as a keypad, to allow for level alignment of the control device when mounted to the wall box. The wall box may have an adjustable support frame to which the control device may be mounted. When the control device is mounted to the support frame of the wall box, the support frame may be rotated to adjust the alignment of the control device. In addition, the wall box may comprise one or more projections configured to be received in respective detents in notched surfaces of the control device to allow for adjustment of the alignment of the control device. Further, the wall box may have a modular assembly and may be constructed from a central portion and two side portions at the time of installation of the wall box.
TERMINATION BOX
The present disclosure provides a termination box that secures and manages cables and provides an enclosed protected space for connection/splices. The termination boxes of the present disclosure protect the contents therein from being damaged due to impact. They also protect the contents from the environment, including from infestation by insects such as ants. The termination box is easily installed and easily fitted with the adapters, connectors, and cables.
WIRE DISTRIBUTOR-COMBINED TUMBLER SWITCH DEVICE
The present disclosure provides a wire distributor-combined tumbler switch device including a bracket assembly which is fixed to a switch housing bracket installed on a wall surface of a building, a switching-wire distributor module which is coupled to the bracket assembly, is electrically connected to an electric wire of an electric device, regulates power on/off, and is configured to distribute electric wires of a distributing board, and a detachable coupling means configured to detachably couple the switching-wire distributor module to the bracket assembly.
Member junction structure and electric junction box
A member junction structure includes a first member provided with a first press-fitting portion and a second press-fitting portion, and a second member provided with a first press-fitted portion and a second press-fitted portion and configured to be installed on the first member by moving in a first direction which is a predetermined one direction with respect to the first member. In a state where the second member is halfway to be installed on the first member, the first press-fitting portion is inserted into the second press-fitted portion, thereby providing a guide for installing the second member on the first member. In a state where the second member is completely installed on the first member, the first press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the first press-fitted portion, and the second press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the second press-fitted portion.
