摘要:
A wiring device incorporating contrasting areas for having electrical circuit-identifying indicia or legends written thereon, and more particularly, a wiring device incorporating means for identifying diverse electrical circuitry through the application onto the device of indicia or legends written on a surface of preferably contrasting colors. Furthermore, disclosed is a method of imparting through imprinting color contrasting areas for the writing thereon of indicia or legends to a wiring device for the purpose of being able to identify at least one electrical circuit which is a plurality of electrical circuits which are connected to the wiring device.

A fire rated poke-through floor fitting for extending through an aperture in a floor having a conduit with a first surface and a second surface and at least one passageway extending from the first surface to the second surface. Electrical wire passes from a side door of the floor, through a conduit, to a second side of the floor. Intumescent material is located adjacent the at least passageway an expands inwardly through the at least one passageway when it is exposed to a predetermined amount of heat, resisting transfer of heat, smoke, and flame from the second side of the floor of the first side of the floor.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for preventing the miswiring of a protection device. The protection device includes line terminals and load terminals. The protection device further includes a latching mechanism, adapted to move between a closed state which establishes electrical contact between said line and load terminals, and an open state which prevents electrical contact between said line and load terminals; and an initial reset prevention mechanism, adapted to prevent said latching mechanism from being set in said closed state until power is applied to said line terminals.

A GFCI is provided that has secondary test switch contacts. In case closing of the primary test switch contacts fails to trip the GFCI, subsequent closing of the secondary test switch contacts results in a short circuit between the AC input terminals of the GFCI. The short circuit blows a fuse disposed on the line side of the GFCI. The blowing of the fuse disables the GFCI and/or provides an indication to the user that the GFCI is defective.

A raceway assembly includes a raceway and a cover assembly removably coupled to the raceway. The cover assembly is mounted flush on the raceway to avoid restriction of the channels formed in the raceway. The cover assembly includes at least one base that is snapped onto the raceway for supporting a wiring device and includes an access opening for accessing wires or cables in the raceway. The base can be used alone or can be assembled in a ganged relation with an identical base. A cover having an access opening is coupled to the base to enclose the base and the electrical data, telecommunications device. A face plate covers the access opening of the cover and is attached to the wiring device to secure the cover to the wiring device, base and raceway.

摘要:
A fire-rated, poke-through floor fitting preferably for use in a three inch diameter bore within a floor. The fitting has an electrical receptacle that is sized to fit within the three inch bore. The receptacle preferably has two pairs of electrical outlets coupled to the electrical receptacle along with four voice/data jacks. The fitting provides a high number of electrical outlets and voice/data jacks, while maintaining a relatively low profile and easy accessibility. Each pair of electrical outlets can be separately connected to different power sources or each pair can be connected to the same power source. The bus bars of the receptacle can have various configurations, including non-overlapping orientations.

A feed through receptacle box assembly includes a base and a housing for supporting a receptacle and connecting to a raceway. A channel member is removably coupled to the base to provide a closed passage for feeding a wire or cable through the housing to isolate the wire or cable from the receptacle. The receptacle can be a duplex electrical receptacle or a telecommunications port that is connected to a respective wire or cable passing through the raceway. In embodiments, the channel member includes at least one intermediate wall forming a plurality of side-by-side passages. The channel member includes frangible lines for separating a portion of the channel member to allow access to a respective wire or cable passing through the passages of the channel member.

A motion detection system housing includes a base having a back portion attachable to a wall, a cover having a front portion for mounting operative components of the detection system, a primary living hinge integrally connecting lower portions of the base and cover to one another such that the cover can undergo pivotal movement toward and away from the base between opened and closed conditions, and a latch releasably securing upper portions of the base and cover to one another. The cover and base have configurations that permit telescoping of the cover at least partially over the base into the closed condition. The latch can secure the cover to the base at different fixed telescoped positions with the front portion of the cover correspondingly disposed at different fixed declination adjustment positions relative to a reference plane. The latch includes a protuberance on the upper portion of the base and an elongated strap pivotally attached by an auxiliary living hinge to the upper portion of the cover and having apertures at different locations corresponding to the different fixed telescoped positions of the cover relative to the base and thus to the different possible fixed declination adjustment positions of the front portion of the cover relative to the reference plane. The strap is movable toward and away from the base between a released position where the protuberance is removed from all apertures and a secured position where the protuberance is interfitted with the one of the apertures corresponding to the selected one of the fixed declination adjustment positions.
