ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX
Provided is an electrical junction box (100) including a housing (30) that houses a substrate (21) to which a fixed fuse (10) is soldered. The housing (30) includes a checking opening (33) for checking whether or not the fixed fuse (10) has been blown out.
LOW PROFILE OUTDOOR PEDESTAL
A pedestal assembly includes a cover having a half egg shape, dome shape, or hemispheroid shape; a concrete/ground box connected to the cover; and a receptacle housing having one or more prereceptacles housed in between the cover and concrete/ground box. The cover is movable from a covered position covering the receptacle housing to an uncovered position allowing access to the receptacle housing.
FLUSH MOUNTABLE ELECTRICAL APPARATUS
A flush mountable electrical apparatus, according to an example, includes an electrical apparatus including a junction box having an open end, an electrical device positioned within the junction box, and a first cover plate to cover the open end of the junction box. The flush mountable electrical apparatus further includes a second cover plate attached to the first cover plate, and a mounting plate to be mounted over a recess in a mounting surface. The mounting plate includes a first opening sized to allow the electrical apparatus to be inserted through the first opening and into the recess. The second cover plate is configured to be attached to the mounting plate to secure the electrical apparatus in position within the recess.
WALL PLATE ASSEMBLY
A wall plate assembly is provided with a first wall plate portion to at least partially cover an electrical device, with a first lateral side with a first fastener and a second fastener formed partially along the first lateral side. A second wall plate portion to at least partially cover the electrical device, with a first lateral side with a first fastener formed partially along the first lateral side and sized to fasten in a length direction with the first wall plate portion second fastener, and a second fastener formed partially along the first lateral side and sized to fasten in the length direction with the first wall plate portion first fastener.
UNIVERSAL COVER
A plate having an upper surface and a lower surface, a center point, and an outer perimeter. It further includes a plurality of clips for temporarily securing the plate in an opening in a landscape box. Each of the plurality of clips comprises a limb, extending vertically downward, the limb having the form of a rectangular plate and being upper bound by an upper edge and lower bound by a lower edge, wherein the upper edge is attached to the lower surface of the plate. The limb further includes a foot extending horizontally sideways from the lower edge.
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.
ELECTRICAL BOX CONNECTION TO A SUPPORT ROD
A fitting and a method of using that fitting to install electrical boxes to a vertical ceiling support rod. This installation does not require a complex bracket that attaches to a wall or a stud in a wall. Prior installation problems of electrical box dropping and rotation are eliminated with this invention. Installation is simple and cost effective. Special tools are not required.
Junction box cover and lighting fixture assembly
A junction box cover assembly for attachment over an opening in an electrical junction box allows for a concealed connection to avoid detracting from the lighting fixture. The assembly includes a cover plate capable of being mounted to a junction box, the'cover plate having an opening there through defined by a first threaded collar extending from the cover plate, a hub having a flange radially extending from a periphery of a second threaded collar defining a passage and configured to attach to the first threaded collar of the cover plate, and a circular insert detachably connected within the passage defined by the threaded collar, the circular insert having an opening for passing electrical wiring from the junction box through the passage, out the insert opening and to a light fixture. The cover plate and the radially extending flange somewhat sandwich a surface, such as drywall or wallboard, and the flange is configured to permit covering with spackling paste or joint compound to conceal the flange.
Air Sealing Electrical Box
An electrical box with a peripheral flange and channel element which in shape and placement provides and vapor sealing of wall assemblies and also facilitates wall assembly construction. The flange will consist of a generally flat surface connected to a channel which in turn will be attached to electrical box bodies of various sizes and shapes. In addition, the electrical box may employ rectangular elements with optional integral holes attached to the box body for fastening the box to wall or ceiling assembly materials.
Safety switch feature for an electronic device
An electrical mating interface includes one or more electrical connectors that electrically couple the mounting device to a corresponding set of electrical connectors of an electronic device. The electrical mating interface further includes a front façade comprising a plunger coupled to a safety switch. The safety switch is disposed between the one or more electrical connectors and main wiring of a dwelling. When the plunger depresses upon coupling of the electronic device to the electrical mating interface, the safety switch closes and electrically couples the main wiring of the dwelling to the electronic device.
