Knee saver multiplex electrical termination device board

Abstract

The Knee Saver Multiplex Electrical Termination Device Board is comprised of; a one-piece board, consisting of a combination of several alike/or unlike termination devices, where multiple termination devices are within a single enclosure, which can handle more than one power source, with different amperages, at the same time, and used in conjunction with the Knee Saver U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,960,580, 9,368,948, 10,320,169, and patent application Ser. No. 16/214,239 which is installed, into a single HUB or Dielectric body, without the need to get down on your knees to install receptacles.

Claims

1. An assembly comprising: a dielectric body having an electrical input surface, the electrical input surface having a plurality of electrical input ports; a termination device, electrically connected to the plurality of electrical input ports, adapted to receive a wire harness, having a first wire stick out groove that accommodates a multiple wires, a second wire stick out groove that accommodates the multiple wires, and a third wire stick out groove that accommodates the multiple wires; the first wire stick out groove, second wire stick out groove and third wire stick out groove each form a groove in the termination device that is exposed from the surface of the termination device; a first group of set screws; a second group of set screws; and a third group of set screws, a first wire from the multiple wires fixed to one of the first group of set screws will have the end of the wire extend past the first group of set screws into the first wire stick out groove and be exposed from the surface of the termination device; a second wire from the multiple wires fixed to one of the second group of set screws will have the end of the wire extend past the second group of set screws into the second wire stick out groove and be exposed from the surface of the termination device; and a third wire from the multiple wires fixed to one of the third group of set screws will have the end of the wire extend past the third group of set screws into the third wire stick out groove and be exposed from the surface of the termination device; an electrical component having multiple switches and/or receptacles formed integrally, the electrical component having a back side, connection posts extending from the electrical component back side, the connection posts are inserted into the plurality of electrical input ports.

2. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising: the first wire stick out groove has a first depth in the termination device, the second wire stick out groove has a second depth in the termination device, the third wire stick out groove has a third depth in the termination device, the first depth, the second depth and the third depth all have different numerical values.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) For a better understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following description of exemplary embodiments thereof, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

(2) FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the HUB or DIRECTRIC BODY of the wire connection system;

(3) FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the HUB OR DIELECTRIC BODY, with a movable, not attached, termination device;

(4) FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a wiring harness, attached to a HUB or DIELECTRIC body, just before insertion of both into a specifically designed junction box;

(5) FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the left side of switches, showing prong receivers, as a part of a modulator connection.

(6) FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the right side of switches, showing prongs as a part of a modulator connection.

(7) FIG. 6 is a perspective view of switches, with modulator connections, snapped together and forming a one piece termination unit. Various termination devices can be combined.

(8) FIG. 7 is a perspective view of various Multi-Receptacle/switch combination boards. These boards are designed as one-piece devices, at the time of manufacture, which distinguishes it from earlier patents and patent applications.

(9) FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a Multiplex Electrical Termination Device Board, installed in a multi-gang electrical box, shown with wires entering the box, in an open wall installation.

(10) FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the “ENDS” of each wire, VERIFYING the fact, that EACH wire has been thru the correct set screw fastening area.
