Abstract:
The design is the visual features of the SWITCH APPARATUS shown in the drawings, whether those features are features of one of shape, configuration, ornament or pattern or are a combination of any of these features. The stippled lines indicate portions of the SWITCH APPARATUS that do not form part of the design.Drawings of the design are included.Fig. 1 is an upper left perspective view of the SWITCH APPARATUS;Fig. 2 is a lower right perspective view thereof;Fig. 3 is a front elevational view thereof;Fig. 4 is a right side elevational view thereof;Fig. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof;Fig. 6 is a top plan view thereof;Fig. 7 is a bottom plan view thereof; andFig. 8 is a rear elevational view thereof.
Abstract:
In-wall dispensing modules, such as room freshener modules, can reside in a housing with a cover that can be opened to access an interior space of the module to, inter alia, replace used containers. The housings are configured to reside inside a wall of a room. The front cover can be a planar cover that is flush, slightly recessed or slightly protrudes from the wall. The housings can be a “custom” housing size and/or may be configured to occupy a single gang box or a compartment of a multi-gang junction box. The modules can include an actuator that can cause a canister to emit scented fluid at desired intervals and/or on-demand. The modules can have a User Interface (UI) wireless and/or wired connection to a whole-house “smart” system.
Abstract:
A mounting assembly is for an electrical switch, such as for example, a dimmer switch, which includes a heat sink. The mounting assembly includes a switching member, an insulator disposed between the switching member and the heat sink, and a separate cover member overlaying the switching member. The separate cover member is structured to secure the switching member and the insulator to the heat sink. The switching member includes a switch body and a conductive tab. The separate cover member secures the switching member to the heat sink, without requiring a separate fastener to be inserted through a hole in the conductive tab. The insulator electrically isolates the conductive tab from the heat sink.
Abstract:
A power receptacle with a housing having an inwardly extending chamber, the inwardly extending chamber having a depth dimension that is between 0.5 inches and 5 inches, more typically between 1 and 5 inches, sized and configured to releasably receive a portable power supply inside the chamber. The housing includes an internal electrical charging interface. When the portable power supply is in the chamber, the portable power supply electrically engages the electrical charging interface to thereby charge the portable power supply. The receptacles can be in-wall or in-floor units. The housings can be a “custom” housing size and/or may be configured to occupy a single gang box or a compartment of a multi-gang junction box.
Abstract:
Universal dimmers are provided including a mode selection circuit configured to receive an input related to a load associated with the universal dimmer. The mode selection circuit is configured to select between more than two modes of operation of the universal dimmer. Related methods of operation are also provided.
Abstract:
The design is the visual features of the SWITCH shown in solid lines in the drawings, whether those features are features of one of shape, configuration, ornament or pattern, or are a combination of any of these features.
