GASKETLESS RAINPROOF GANGING OF ENCLOSURE
A gasketless ganging system includes an enclosure, including a first side, a second side; a first opening, and a second opening; a first ganging member disposed on the first side, including a third opening, a first channel, and a pair of first protrusions; and a second ganging member disposed on the second side, including a fourth opening, a second channel, and a pair of second protrusions. In some embodiments, the enclosure is a first enclosure and a second enclosure, wherein the first side of the first or second enclosure abuts the second side of the other of the first or second enclosure, to adjoin enclosures, wherein the pair of first protrusions abuts the pair of second protrusions to position the second channel within the first channel without contacting the first channel.
Enclosure arrangements; components; and methods
Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to enclosures, such as, electrical enclosures, for example, explosion-proof enclosures, and including advantageous features and methods usable with such enclosures. Disclosed features and techniques relate to: an enclosure fastening device; a visual indicator; an enclosure handling assist arrangement; a control handle; and a reset controller.
Liquid discharge structure
A liquid discharge structure includes a bottom wall to be disposed tilted relative to a horizontal plane at a casing which is configured to be installed in a vehicle, a lateral wall arranged vertically at a lower end edge of the bottom wall, wherein the lower end edge is configured to be located on a lower side of the bottom wall being tilted, wherein the lateral wall has a discharge opening for liquid located at an end of the lateral wall closer to the bottom wall, a tubular rib wall projecting at least inwardly within the casing from the lateral wall so as to surround the discharge opening, and a partitioning rib wall which is arranged vertically on an inner surface of the bottom wall at a position closer to the lateral wall so that the partitioning rib wall extends intersecting a center axis of the tubular rib wall.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING GROMMET, AND GROMMET
A method for manufacturing a grommet, which is fixed to a wire harness W inserted into an opening portion of a panel P and which is fitted and attached to the opening portion to thereby support the wire harness W on the panel P. The grommet includes peripheral walls that surrounds the wire harness W to form a sound shield space S around the wire harness W, and a soundproof wall that is formed in the sound shield space S so as to cross a longitudinal direction of the wire harness W. The soundproof wall is designed by use of an expression of TL=20 log(p×f)−42.5 where TL designates transmission loss of the soundproof wall, ρ designates surface density of the soundproof wall, and f designates a frequency.
WATER RESISTANT ELECTRICAL DEVICES
An electrical outlet device includes water-resistant components to prevent the ingress of water to electrical components. One example includes a faceplate having a front surface, an outer edge extending around the front surface, and a first outlet opening extending through the front surface. A water-resistant seal is connected to the front surface of the faceplate. The seal has a first slit aligned with the first opening, a first flap adjacent the slit, and a second flap adjacent the slit. The first flap and the second flap are resiliently biased to a closed position and are moveable upon insertion of a plug.
Access ports for electrical enclosures
Examples disclosed herein illustrate various implementations of access ports that are to be mounted to various types of electrical enclosures. In some implementations, the access ports are circular to provide ease of installation and to reduce the overall footprint of the access ports.
Poke-through electrical assembly
An electrical power and/or electronic data unit is mountable in a floor, and is fitted with an upper bezel that is openable and closable to provide selective access to an interior of the unit, which is optionally fitted with one or more electrical power or data outlets. A lower insert including an intumescent block is supported below an upper housing, and is angularly adjustable relative to the upper housing. One or more bores or openings formed in the lower insert allow the passage of cords into a pass-through opening in the upper housing, and out through an upper bezel cover.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BOX
An electrical connection box includes: a casing that has an opening portion open upwardly, a recessed portion recessed downwardly from an upper edge portion of a side wall; and a slidable cover configured to close the recessed portion. A first thin portion is formed at a side edge portion of the recessed portion of the casing. A second thin portion is formed on the slidable cover. The first thin portion and the second thin portion overlap each other when the slidable cover is fitted into the recessed portion. The first thin portion is includes a chamfered portion where a boundary between an opening edge portion of the first thin portion and the side edge portion is chamfered. A contact portion is configured to be brought into contact with the chamfered portion.
Moisture Control Systems For Enclosures
An enclosure system can include an enclosure comprising at least one wall forming a first cavity. The enclosure system can further include a moisture control system in communication with the enclosure, wherein the moisture control system controls at least one condition within the cavity of the enclosure, where the at least one condition affects an amount of moisture within the first cavity. The moisture control system can include a sensor that measures an amount of moisture in desiccant disposed within a desiccant vessel. The moisture control system can include a structural filter and a desiccant vessel, where the structural filter is coupled to an enclosure and disposed within a cavity formed by the enclosure, where the desiccant vessel is removably coupled to the structural filter, and where the desiccant vessel is accessible from outside the enclosure.
Cover assembly for floor box installed in concrete pour areas
A cover assembly for providing a moisture resistant installation of a receptacle or similar electrical component within a floor box and flush with a newly poured concrete floor surface. The cover assembly includes a floor box, a leveling ring, a mounting plate, and a cover plate with a flip-lid hinged to the cover plate. Sealing means are provided integral with the cover plate for sealing against the floor surface and for sealing the flip-lid to the cover plate to provide a moisture resistant installation of the receptacle. The sealing means includes a lid gasket integral with the flip-lid and a plate gasket integral with the cover plate.
