ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY STRUCTURES
The present disclosure provides an electrical power supply structure comprising a plurality of conductors, each conductor extending longitudinally and configured to carry high amperage electrical power, a barrier support plate comprising one or more openings for receiving the plurality of conductors, and a sealing system forming a water tight seal around the plurality of conductors in the openings, a first support structure extending longitudinally from a first side of the barrier support plate, the first support structure connected to the barrier support plate by a first flexible joint, and a second support structure extending longitudinally from a second side of the barrier support plate, the second support structure connected to the barrier support plate by a second flexible joint. Each of the first and second support structures comprises a longitudinally extending enclosure having a plurality of transversely extending conductor support members for supporting the plurality of conductors.
Assembly cable tray using retardant plastics and joint device thereof
A knockdown cable tray made of a fire-retardant plastic and a coupling device therefor are capable of being used to easily and efficiently install an incombustible knockdown cable tray to suspend a plurality of cables from a ceiling. The knockdown cable tray includes: a pair of side panels, each of which includes a frame having a plurality of coupling holes formed in opposite ends thereof in a lengthwise direction and a coupler protruding outwardly from the frame, the side panels being located opposite each other; a plurality of rung members, each of which is detachably coupled to the couplers and firmly supports the side panels; and coupling devices, each of which is detachably coupled to the coupling holes of each frame and firmly couples a plurality of side panels disposed in a lengthwise direction.
Woven tubular thermal sleeve and method of construction thereof
A thermal sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof are provided. The sleeve has a tubular woven wall extending along a central axis between opposite open ends with an outer reflective foil layer fixed thereto. The wall is woven with lengthwise extending warp yarns and circumferentially extending fill yarns. The fill yarns include first and second fill yarns bundled in side-by-side abutting relation as a single pick, thereby forming discrete single pick bundles in axially spaced relation from one another. The first fill yarn is provided as a standard monofilament, while the second fill yarn is provided having a low melt material melted and bonded to the abutting first fill yarn and to portions of the abutting warp yarns, wherein the spaces between the discrete bundles remain substantially free of melted material, thereby further enhancing longitudinal flexibility of the sleeve.
Electromagnetic shielding component and conductive path
An electromagnetic shielding component that includes a pipe body that is conductive; and a braid that is tubular and that is obtained by braiding conductive bar wires, the braid and the pipe body being coupled to each other by a coupler in a state in which an end of the braid is externally fitted onto an end of the pipe body.
Firewall insert box
The invention described herein is a fire protection device in the form of an insert designed to be quickly installed in new or existing electrical boxes located in firewalls. This insert is comprised of a material designed to withstand high direct heat and serve as a barrier to the passage of direct heat or smoke and gases through firewalls rated under ASTM E-119. The insert features a flanged open end which overlaps any gaps between the existing electrical box and the wall. The back wall of the insert box may have either openings to permit wires to pass through to the electrical device or a plug-harness assembly which obviates the use of holes in the back of the insert box.
Extendable sleeve for a poured concrete deck
A tubular passage for poured concrete decks has an intumescent tube held in a two-part, clamshell base by a bottom clip. A first tube engages the base's top to clamp a funnel shaped, diaphragm seal to the base. The first tube has spaced, radially extending, parallel ridges at predetermined distances from the base. Longitudinal channels separate the ridges. An extension tube has inward extending lugs passing along the channels to engage various ridges when rotated to fix the passage length. The extension engages the base bottom for corrugated deck supports. A cap with repositionable, locating filaments closes either tube.
FIRE PROTECTION SLEEVE
A firestop collar for sealing of openings, especially of line penetrations, that pass-through walls or ceilings, has a frame and a block of optionally intumescent material disposed therein, and is characterized in that an intumescent inlay is disposed between the block and the frame.
FIRESTOP COLLAR
A firestop collar (10) for sealing of openings, especially of line penetrations (12), that pass through walls (11) or ceilings, has a frame (16) and a block (20) of optionally intumescent material disposed therein, and is characterized in that the frame (16) is of modular construction.
ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING COMPONENT AND CONDUCTIVE PATH
An electromagnetic shielding component that includes a pipe body that is conductive; and a braid that is tubular and that is obtained by braiding conductive bar wires, the braid and the pipe body being coupled to each other by a coupler in a state in which an end of the braid is externally fitted onto an end of the pipe body.
In-floor electrical fitting
An in-floor electrical fitting has a lower body that includes two half-bodies made of intumescent material. Each half-body includes a removable access wall that is also made of intumescent material and that is inserted into slots formed in the half-body. The removable access wall has at least one reduced-thickness section that can be broken off from the removable access wall to create a passageway through the removable access wall. During installation, the two access walls can be removed to allow an installer to a lay a conduit that will pass through the passageway through each access wall when the access walls are reinserted. An installer can pass power wires from one small compartment to another through the conduit while complying with code requirements calling for the separation of power and data cables.
