Enclosure with grommetless strain relief

Enclosures with grommetless strain relief are provided, each including a base and a cover. The base has a bottom and four sidewalls arranged to provide an open box-like structure. A first of the sidewalls of the base is configured with a wire routing slot at its perimeter. The cover has a top and four sidewalls arranged to provide an open box-like structure configured to couple with the base, so as to provide a strain relief for an electrical wire passing through the wire routing slot. The wire is pressed against a length of the first sidewall of the base by a first sidewall of the cover. The enclosure may include other features, such as rounded edges in the wire routing path, a wire guide and/or strap to inhibit wire movement between the first sidewalls, and/or one or more locking mechanisms configured to secure the cover to the base.

Angularly Adjustable Tubular Elbow
20190013656 · 2019-01-10 · ·

An angularly adjustable tubular elbow is provided for use in association with an electrical junction box. The elbow has an externally screw threaded male spigot at one end and a correspondingly screw threaded female socket at the other end. A locknut cooperates with the screw thread on the male spigot so as to leave usable screw thread on the male spigot that has a length at least equal to one thread pitch longer than is required for satisfying a specification or requirement. A seal that accommodates rotation of the elbow about the axis of the spigot is provided between the male spigot and the locknut to prevent ingress of moisture or other unwanted fluids along the thread. The elbow can be installed with the locknut fully retracted, followed by rotation of the elbow by no more than 360 to align the female socket and subsequently tightening the locknut.

Foam protective shell for refrigerator connectors

A connector assembly for installation on a wall includes a main connector body introduced into a cut-out hole of the wall and a protective shell positioned on an inner side of the wall. The protective shell protects the main connector body from an insulation foam entering the main connector body when foamed in place. The protective shell has a front portion, a receptacle formed at the front portion and receiving a second end of the main connector body, a flange extending from and surrounding the receptacle, and a lead-through channel formed at a back portion of the protective shell. The flange is attached on the inner side of the wall and covers the cut-out hole. The lead-through channel has an internal flap routing a cable through the back portion in a meandering manner. The internal flap is inclined with respect to the lead-through channel.

Wiring harness installation guide device

A guide device (10) is provided for guiding a wiring harness (32) through an aperture (26) in a panel (24). The guide device (10) has a substantially tubular sidewall (12) with opposite front and rear ends (14, 16). Portions of the sidewall (12) adjacent the front end (14) are dimensioned to fit in the aperture (26). The sidewall (12) flares out toward the rear end (16). A slit (22) extends from the front end (14) of the sidewall (12) to the rear and (16) thereof. The front end (14) of the guide device (10) can be mounted in the aperture (26) so that the wiring harness (32) can be guided into the outwardly flared rear end (16) and through the aperture (26). The slit (22) enables the sidewall (12) to be biased open at the slit so that the guide device (10) can be separated from the wiring harness (32).
