ADJUSTABLE MUD RING ASSEMBLIES
An adjustable mud ring assembly is provided that includes a base plate, a movable ring, and an indexing screw configured to move the movable ring with respect to the base plate between a first position and a second position. The base plate has a junction box connecting portion, a support connecting portion, and a stationary ring. The base plate can have an offset distance (D.sub.2) between the junction box connecting portion and the support connecting portion where the offset distance is sufficient to allow the movable ring to move into stationary ring to the first position without protruding, at a lowermost point, into a junction box connected to the junction box connecting portion.
POWER CABLE EMBEDDED FLOOR PANEL
A floor system in a server room includes a main panel and a sub-panel. The main panel includes main panel inlaid cables and main panel connectors where the main panel inlaid cables connect a first set of the main panel connectors to a second set of the main panel connectors. The sub-panel includes sub-panel inlaid cables and sub-panel connectors where the sub-panel inlaid cables connect the sub-panel connectors to one another. The floor system provides an operating floor via the main panel and the sub-panel where the operating floor is raised relative to a sub-floor and the main panel is a removable floor panel to access a space between the operating floor and the sub-floor. The main panel inlaid cables and the sub-panel inlaid cables establish a current pathway from a power source.
Extendable electrical outlet enclosure
An extendable electrical outlet enclosure with a tubular main body, a bezel, a cap, at least one extension tube, and a back plate. The tubular main body has a first end, a second end, and a wall extending between the first end and second end. The tubular main body also has an electrical device support that extends inward from the wall and defines a separation between an electrical plug section and a wiring section. The bezel surrounds an opening in the main body at the first end and allows the cap to removably mount to the electrical enclosure. The at least one extension tube attaches to the tubular main body at the second end and has a leading end, a trailing end, and an outer wall extending between the leading end and the trailing end. The back plate couples with the at least one extension tube at the trailing end.
Swing lid horizontal surface cover
A horizontal surface cover with a cover plate, at least one opening, and at least one access door. The cover plate is configured to cover an electrical device within an electrical box. The at least one opening extends through the cover plate and is sized to allow access to the electrical device through the at least one opening. The at least one access door is sized and shaped to fit within the at least one opening, and has a hinge with a hinge axis. The at least one access door is configured to translate along the hinge axis and rotate about the hinge axis to move between a closed position and an open position. The at least one access door is aligned with and inside of the at least one opening when in the closed position, and is misaligned with the at least one opening when in the open position.
Power/data access module
An assembly for providing access to an opening in a table includes an electrical module including a support panel carrying one or more electrical power sockets and/or data ports and a cable carrying electrical power and/or data wires connectable to the sockets/ports. The assembly further includes an access module that includes a grommet mountable to the table within the opening. The grommet including a flange defining a pair of opposing channels configured to slidably receive the support panel therein so that the one or more sockets/ports are accessible through the grommet when the access module is mounted to the table.
Fliptop integrated latch
An integrated latching mechanism includes a slider button. At least one curved elastic arm extends from the slider button and is configured such that in response to an external force urging the slider button in a first direction, the curved elastic arm is distorted such that upon removal of the external force, the curved elastic arm moves the slider button in a direction opposite to the first direction. A locking part is contiguous with the slider button and extends away from the slider button. In response to the external force urging the slider button in the first direction, the locking part moves in the first direction, and upon removal of the external force, the curved elastic arm moves the locking part in the direction opposite to the first direction. The at least one curved elastic arm, the slider button, and the locking part form a single piece of elastic material.
High security multi-tiered locking system for utility vaults
A locking system for a utility vault including an I-beam extending across an opening in utility vault, a two-piece lid positioned in the opening over the I-beam, brackets positioned on opposite ends of each piece of the two-piece utility lid for engaging an inside wall surface of the utility vault and the I-beam, and a three-tier locking system positioned at an end of one piece of the two-piece lid to lock the lid to the vault including a L-bolt lock, a padlock and a lockable door on an upper surface of the lid.
Receiving Structure, Textile-Reinforced Component and Method for Producing the Component
The invention relates to a receiving structure (1) which is intended for casting into a matrix material and has at least one receiving element (4), which projects out of the receiving structure (1) in such a way that it can project into the matrix material. According to the invention, the receiving element (4) has in its interior a receiving space (6) which has an opening (10) facing the surface (94) of the component (90), through which opening (10) a functional module (60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88) can be guided for insertion into the receiving space (6), wherein the receiving space (6) is universally designed for receiving and connecting each of the functional modules (60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 89), wherein at least one position-securing element (40) is provided for securing the position of reinforcement (96) and substantially predetermines the outer shape of the component (90).
The invention further relates to a component (90) comprising a textile reinforcement (96), a matrix material, and conduits (16) for the passage of electricity and/or fluids. According to the invention, a receiving structure (1) comprising receiving elements (4) is embedded in the matrix material and is connected to the textile reinforcement (96) and/or the conduits (16) via position-securing elements (40), wherein the textile reinforcement (96) is aligned in a load-dependent manner with respect to the receiving elements (4), and the receiving elements (4) of the receiving structure (1) are designed in such a way that an influence on the load-bearing behavior of the produced component (90) is minimized.
The invention also relates to a method of producing a device with the receiving structure (1).
MODULAR ELECTRICAL-CABINET MOUNTING APPARATUS
A modular electrical-cabinet mounting apparatus (110) is provided comprising a base wall assembly (122) defining a cabling void (124) and a multi-part support platform (126) which is mountable to the base wall assembly (122) to at least partly cover the cabling void (124). The support platform (126) comprises a plurality of individual platform members (132a, 132b, 140) which are interconnectable to form the support platform (126). At least two said platform members are formed as cabinet-support members (132a, 132b) having a cabling access aperture therethrough and the support platform (126) is configured to be selectively assembled so that the cabinet-support members (132a, 132b) are in a spaced-apart relationship along the length of the support platform (126).
