摘要:
A junction box extension method and apparatus for creating additional space proximate an existing junction box without having to remove the existing junction box. The junction box extension has an open box with a lip on one side and a rim on the other, a flange for holding the box proximate the existing junction box where the lip of the open box protrudes beyond the wall, and a cover to provide a finished appearance as the junction box extension engages the junction box to provide additional useable space.

A direct bury twist-on wire connector for securing an electrical connection having a tube with an integral twist-on wire connector graspable from outside the tube while the inside of the tube and the inside of the twist-on wire connector carry a sealant therein and a cap secureable to an open end of the tube to inhibit strain on the wires to thereby provide a ready-to-bury connector.

A pipe saddle having an elongated band with a radially outward extending hub on one end and a set of teeth extending along a latching member. The hub includes a finger engagement region and an internal tooth for engagement with one of the teeth in a set of teeth on the latching member. A finger engagement region on the latching member allows a user to use one hand to extend the latching member into the hub and to push the latching member into locking engagement in the hub by compressively squeezing on the two finger regions. In order to prevent withdrawal of the latching member from the hub a stop in the hub maintains the teeth in engagement with each other thereby maintaining the band in pressure engagement with a circumferential region of a pipe. Use of multiple teeth permits the pipe saddle to be used on different diameter pipes.

The invention includes a probe for imaging tissue within a body cavity. The probe includes a housing which has a first substantially narrow elongate distal portion insertable into a body cavity, and a second elongate portion proximal of the first elongate portion. The narrow distal portion houses a transducer which is longitudinally translatable and rotatable relative thereto. The second elongate portion houses a platform assembly and a movable member. The platform assembly includes a transmission system and a frame, both of which are coupled to the transducer by at least one connector such that rotational movement of the platform assembly within the second elongate portion effectuates rotation of the transducer within the first elongate portion, and translational movement of the moveable member within the second elongate portion effectuates translational movement of the transducer within the first elongate portion. The probe is used with a needle assembly and delivery system.

A twist-on wire connector having a housing with a spiral tread for engaging and holding electrical wires in an electrical connection and a chamber for carrying a member having a wire passageway so that the electrical wires can be retained within the connector by a wire holder to inhibit strain therein and a method of making an electrical connection that inhibits strain of the wire by inserting a plurality of wires into a spiral thread of a twist-on wire connector, rotating the plurality of wires to bring the electrical wires into electrical connection with each other and squeezing a member around the plurality of wires to bring the member into frictional contact along a portion of the plurality of wires to axially restrain the plurality of wires and thereby inhibit strain on the plurality of wires held in the electrical connector.
摘要:
An electrical connector for connecting wires including dissimilar electrical conductors such as copper and aluminum conductors with the electrical connector including failure inhibiting features that can include an oxidation inhibiting coating and a sealant. To ensure that a minimum pressure contact has been achieved at the interface between the electrical connector a shearable fastener can be used to secure an electrical conductor in the electrical connector.
