    摘要: An enclosure assembly with concealed hinge system comprises a quadrilateral cabinet and a cover that is configured to swivel along a sidewall of the quadrilateral cabinet. The swiveling action of the cover with respect to the quadrilateral cabinet is enabled by the use of a first pair of hinges and at least one second hinge. The first pair of hinges is welded onto the corners of the sidewall, and the at least one second hinge is welded onto the sidewall between the first pair of hinges.

    摘要: A locking arrangement for a plurality of toggle switches is provided, which facilitates independent locking and independent actuation of the toggle switches. The locking arrangement restricts the movement of a lever associated with a toggle switch of the plurality of toggle switches so as to maintain the lever of the toggle switch in at least one predetermined position. The locking arrangement is adapted to receive a locking device that restricts the movement of the lever in at least one predetermined position defined by the periphery of a locking plate or a base plate of the locking arrangement.

    摘要: The present disclosure envisages a tool-less hinge mechanism for coupling a first element and a second element. The tool-less hinge mechanism comprises at least one lug integrally extending from one of the first element and the second element, and at least one loop integrally extending from remaining one of the first element and the second element. The at least one lug is configured to be received in the at least one loop, thereby providing hingeable coupling between the first element and the second element.

    摘要: A connector assembly includes a male and a female connector element. The male connector element is having a first and a second portion configured by longitudinally bi-furcating the male connector element and includes a chamfered portion, a radially adjusting mechanism and a screw. The chamfered portion is axially configured on male connector element and receives the radially adjusting mechanism that moves the first and second portions relative to each other. The screw axially passes through male connector element and radially moves the radially adjusting mechanism to adjust the gap between the first and second portions to adjust external dimension of male connector element. The female connector element is having a tubular configuration that receives male connector element and is having a plurality of longitudinal slits configured thereon, walls of the female connector element are urged radially inwards towards the male connector element to maintain contact there-between by a spring element.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to the field of switch gears, and envisages an actuator for a switch gear of an electric panel having a door. The actuator comprises an aligner assembly and an actuator plate assembly. The aligner assembly comprises an aligner pivotably mounted on the switch gear housing, and engaging with a toggle of a circuit breaker, of the switch gear, to angularly displace the toggle. The aligner has a pair of slanting flanges configured to define a valley separated by a gap. The actuator plate assembly comprises a mounting plate mounted on the enclosure door. A shaft element, having a handle element and an engaging element, passes through the mounting plate. The engaging element is configured to nest in the gap of the aligner to angularly displace the aligner.

    摘要: A luminaire which provides illumination (in some cases, in a coordinated manner with other nodes of a lighting network) in an industrial environment is further configured to serve as a node of a wireless process control or industrial network, which may be a mesh and/or time-synchronized wireless network. Upon detecting a loss of mains power and/or other triggering condition, the luminaire node allocates an amount of available battery power to maintain the routing of process control messages, and allocates at least some of a remaining amount of available battery power (if any) for performing lighting activities such as driving illumination and/or lighting-related communications. The allocations for (e.g., the relative priorities of) support for process control and support for lighting activities may be based on an allocation configuration and/or based on instructions received from other components of the process control network and/or the lighting network, which may include user interface devices.
