An improved mechanism for retaining screws for a conduit body cover is disclosed. The screws are retained by a layer of PVC lining the inner surface of holes in the cover.

A junction box assembly including a box and a selectively displaceable lid, the lid including one or more articulating lock sockets and one or more lock hinge sockets. Hinge arms can be pivotally coupled to the box, with a first hinge arm also being pivotally secured to an articulating hinge socket to accommodate pivotal displacement of the lid from the box, as well as pivotal displacement of the lid about a portion of the first hinge arm. A second hinge arm can be selectively removable from secure engagement with the lock hinge assembly. Further, a tamper resistant pin can extend through the upper head portion of the second hinge arm when the second hinge arm is engaged with the lock hinge socket so as to lock the second hinge arm to the lid, and thereby secure the lid at a closed position on the box.

The present invention suppresses an increase in the number of components and simplifies an attachment task. An electrical connection box is configured such that multiple wire harnesses are connected thereto side-by-side vertically. The electrical connection box includes: a lower case having a lower placement portion on which a lower wire harness is to be placed; a harness support member having a lower holding portion that is latched to the lower placement portion and holds the lower wire harness, and having an upper placement portion on which an upper wire harness is to be placed; and an upper case that is mated to the lower case and has an upper holding portion that is latched to the upper placement portion and holds the upper wire harness.

A weatherproof electrical box assembly may include a cover portion, a center portion and a bottom portion. The cover portion and bottom portion are configured to be integrated as a single piece. The cover portion is removably attached to one side of the center portion, and an adapter plate is removably secured to a recessed portion of the center portion. In one embodiment, the back wall of the bottom portion includes one or more bottom openings for receiving and attaching an electrical wire to an electrical component installed in the bottom portion. One advantage of securing the center portion onto the outer edges of the bottom portion, is that electrical components are thereby recessed in the bottom portion and not positioned adjacent the cover portion. As a result, electrical components may be further protected from any moisture accumulating on the inside cover area of the cover portion.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing MediaLink Interconnection Boxes (“MIBs”). In some embodiments, a plurality of MediaLink Interconnection Boxes (“MIBs”) or media interconnection devices, which may be disposed throughout a recreational vehicle (“RV”) park or other bulk service provider application sites, or the like, may serve as demarcation units designed to each provide an accessible indoor or outdoor interface where long-term or temporary/transient customers can directly connect to land line service (e.g., POTS service), video or television service, and/or Ethernet or Internet services provided by one or more service providers. Fiber-to-Drop-Point (“FTDP”) and/or point-to-point fiber insertion within a passive optical network (“PON”) communications system may be implemented using apical conduit systems in conjunction with the MIBs. Alternatively, traditional ground-based or buried line interconnections (or a combination of the apical conduit system and such traditional interconnections) may be implemented in conjunction with the MIBs.

An enclosure for breaking out a trunk cable includes: a base having a generally flat surface adapted for mounting to a mounting surface; a shell having a front and two side walls extending from opposite sides of the front and two opposed end walls, the side walls of the shell mounted to the base to form a cavity; a plurality of connectors mounted to each of the side walls; and a trunk cable routed into the cavity through one of the end walls, the trunk cable comprising a plurality of power conductors and/or a plurality of optical fibers. The power conductors and the optical fibers are connected with respective ones of the plurality of connectors.

An electrical connection box applied to a wire harness includes a casing and a cover member. The casing is provided with a first member that houses an electronic component and a second member and an insertion port formed on the first member, and an exterior installation unit formed outside the insertion port of the first member with an end of an exterior member of which being arranged in a stacking direction. The cover member has a pair of locking units, and is locked to the exterior installation unit via the pair of locking units and holds an end of the exterior member between the cover member and the first member. The second member includes a pressing wall that interposes an end to be pressed of the cover member between the pressing wall and the first member and that presses the end to be pressed toward the first member side.

An electrical connection covering apparatus is designed to protect from moisture a connection between a plug of one extension cord and a socket of another extension cord. A compressible and elastic diaphragm is used to form a seal around the cables of the extension cords where they enter the apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing that has at least one aperture. The diaphragm extends across the aperture. The diaphragm projects inwardly with respect to an interior surface of the housing. The compressibility and elasticity of the diaphragm material is greater than that of the housing material.

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.

The invention relates to an assembly (14) of a cable-connecting device (10) and a multi-core cable (11), which form a mechanical, explosion-proof connection to each other. For this purpose, the cable-connecting device (10) has a plastically deformable outer sleeve (18) having a crimping section (23). A hollow cylindrical inner sleeve (19) made of elastically deformable material is arranged between a cable sheath (13) made of elastomer and the crimping section (23). An elastic deformation of the inner sleeve (19) and of the cable sheath (13) is caused by radially plastically deforming the crimping section (23). Any gaps (40) present within the cable sheath (13) are closed due to the radial forces in the crimping section (23) such that spark-gap-free contact between the cable sheath (13) and the cores (12) of the cable (11) and between the cable sheath (13) and the inner sleeve (19) is ensured.
