WEATHERPROOF POP-UP ELECTRICAL DEVICE ENCLOSURES
An electrical device enclosure is provided that includes an electrical device; a telescoping support member having the electrical device supported thereon; an electrical device region, the telescoping support member being configured to move the electrical device into a stored position in a first space defined in the electrical device region and to move the electrical device into a deployed position outside of the first space; and a hood pivotally connected to the electrical device for movement between a hooded position and an unhooded position. The hood and electrical device region have cooperating surfaces, the cooperating surfaces being configured and positioned so that movement of the electrical device to the stored position moves the hood into sealed contact with the electrical device to define a weather-tight space around the electrical device.
Floor grommet
Disclosed are embodiments of a round floor grommet and a rectangular floor grommet. These floor grommets can be constructed in any desired shape other than round or rectangular. Frame portions that hold foam pieces are joined together to form a primary slit in the floor grommet. Cross slits can also be formed in the foam material. The foam is a semi-closed cell foam that is constructed from PVC and nitrile butadiene rubber which has superior sealing effects since the foam can conform around objects passing through the slits in the floor grommet and seal any flow of air through the slits.

WATER RESISTANT POP-UP OUTLET
A pop-up outlet includes a lower housing configured to receive one or more conductors. A middle housing is connected to the lower housing. An upper housing is moveably connected to the middle housing. An outlet is positioned in the upper housing having an outlet body and at least one receptacle opening. A raise/lower mechanism is configured to move the upper housing with respect to the middle housing from a first position where the outlet body is positioned in the middle housing to a second position where the outlet body is exposed to a user.
POKE-THROUGH FLOOR FITTING
Disclosed is a poke-through floor box assembly with increased accessibility and fluid drainage. An assembly may include a main housing including a central cavity, wherein the central cavity is operable to house an electrical wiring device, and a cover assembly coupled to the main housing. The cover assembly may include a frame having a sidewall and a fluid channel extending through the sidewall, and a set of main doors rotatably coupled to the frame, wherein a first main door of the set of main doors includes a cable access door.
Single-fastener mounting plate for electrical outlets
A mounting plate for an electrical outlet includes a central region having a front surface, a rear surface, and an opening for accessing an outlet. A first mounting tab and a second mounting tab extend from the central region at an angle. The mounting plate may be used to attach an outlet to an outlet housing having a wiring compartment and a panel at least partially enclosing the wiring compartment. The panel has a front wall and an opening for receiving an outlet.
Adjustable floor electrical box assembly
An adjustable floor box assembly including: 1) an electrical box having a front edge, a sidewall and opposing vertical edges, electrical box vertical channels at the opposing sidewall vertical edges; a bolt guide on the sidewall adjacent the front edge in vertical alignment with a slot in the sidewall; and 2) an adjustable flange including: a) a horizontal member including, an aperture for the insertion of a threaded adjustment bolt; and b) an integral vertical member having vertical flange edges and flange channels on the vertical flange edges that slidably engage the vertical channels, and at least one adjustment bolt engagement member that engages the threads of an threaded adjustment bolt inserted through the bolt guide, so that, as the adjustment bolt is rotated, the adjustable flange moves slidably up and down as the vertical flange edges and flange channels move slidably in the electrical box vertical channels.
Recessed floor fitting and covers therefore
A recessed floor fitting includes a poke-through housing, a divider assembly, and a feeder plate. The poke-through housing has a base and an outer wall with an open top that defines an interior chamber. The base includes a central aperture, a first perimeter aperture, and a second perimeter aperture. The divider assembly separates the interior chamber into a center portion, a first portion, and a second portion. The center portion is in communication with the center aperture. The first and second portions are in communication with the respective first and second perimeter apertures. The feeder plate is connected to the base, and has a mounting flange and a conduit extending from the mounting flange.
Radio frequency transmissive raised access floor panel
Disclosed is a sensor floor tile that utilizes a RF frequency transmissive disk that transmits sensor data from sensors located in a plenum of a raised floor system. An antenna is located adjacent to the disk so that sensor signals can be transmitted from the sensor located in the plenum under the floor tile to a wireless receiver located in an elevated location in a data center room, a computer room, a clean room, an office space, etc. A network connection can also be provided by the antenna when the antenna is connected to a router in the plenum.
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.
