Abstract

A lever connector for contacting electrical conductors includes features and improvements over other lever connectors. The lever connector includes a housing, a busbar located within the housing, one or more lever mechanisms, and one or more resilient members that connect the lever mechanisms to the busbar. The lever mechanism includes a lever located on a near side of the busbar bridge and a lifting mechanism located on a far side of the busbar bridge opposite the near side of the busbar bridge. When the lever is actuated and lifted upwards and away from the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the resilient member to release away from the busbar. When the lever is closed and pushed downward toward the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the resilient member downward to push the electrical conductor against the busbar, thereby making electrical contact between the electrical conductor and the busbar

Abstract

A lever connector for contacting electrical conductors may include features and improvements over other lever connectors. The lever connector includes a housing, a busbar located within the housing, one or more lever mechanisms, and one or more resilient members that connect the lever mechanisms to the busbar. The lever mechanism includes a lever located on a near side of the busbar bridge and a lifting mechanism located on a far side of the busbar bridge opposite the near side of the busbar bridge. The resilient member includes a fixed section connected to the busbar bridge and a clamping section connected to the lifting mechanism. When the lever is actuated and lifted upwards and away from the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the clamping section of the resilient member to release away from the busbar base surface. When the lever is closed and pushed downward toward the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the clamping section of the resilient member downward to push the electrical conductor against the busbar base surface, thereby making electrical contact between the electrical conductor and the busbar.

Abstract

A convertible force latching system includes two complementary connector bodies. Each connector body has a first mating face under which two series of magnets oriented alternating directions. A moving portion of the latching system allows the connector bodies and the magnets within to alter their alignment by the interaction of a user along a predetermined motion path. In a first arrangement, the series of magnets are aligned with such that the magnets of one connector body are attracted to the magnets of the other connector body. When the user actuation shifts the moving portion, the second arrangement positions the series of magnets such that they are aligned such that the magnets of one connector body are repelled to the magnets of the other connector body.

Abstract

A method for automatically assigning a group address to a first controllable luminaire device of a plurality of controllable luminaire devices. The method determines whether adding the first controllable luminaire device to a logical community of controllable luminaire devices causes a number of controllable luminaire devices within the logical community of luminaire devices to exceed an established threshold. When it is determined that adding the first controllable luminaire device to the logical community of luminaire devices causes the number of controllable luminaire devices within the logical community of luminaire devices to exceed the established threshold, the method automatically assigns to each of the plurality of luminaire devices within the logical community of luminaire devices a group address for use in simultaneously controlling the luminaire devices as a group.

Abstract

An apparatus for tensioning a cable tape comprises a housing, a drive assembly, a capstan, and an optional cutting device. The drive assembly includes a driving member and a driven member slidably coupled to the driving member. A biasing element is coupled between the driving and the driven member and in a first operating mode, the driving member causes movement of the driven member little or no relative movement between two members. The capstan is rotatably coupled to the housing, and includes a gripping device to grip a cable tape and wrap the cable tape around an outer surface of the capstan as the capstan rotates. In a second operating mode, a tension force applied on the capstan by the cable tape that is greater than the biasing force allows relative movement between the driving member and the driven member.

Abstract

A tool handle has a longitudinally extending chamber in which a portion of a working member having cam surfaces is disposed. The handle also has a plurality of slots in which the plurality of expansion members are disposed. Under torque, the cam surfaces of the working member cooperate with the plurality of expansion members to cause at least a portion of each of the plurality of expansion members to be moved axially and outwardly from the slots to thereby cause the handle to change from having a first cross-sectional shape to a second cross-sectional shape. At least one spring is interposed between each of the plurality of expansion members and the handle for causing the handle to automatically revert back to the first cross-sectional shape.

Abstract

A junction box has a main body defining an interior space and a lid hingedly connected to the main body for use in enclosing the interior space. The main body includes an inlet for allowing an end of electrical cable to be positioned with the interior space. The inlet is formed by a first pair of spaced flaps between which is defined a first slot into which the electrical cable is to be positioned and a second pair of spaced flaps between which is defined a second slot into which the electrical cable is to be positioned. Each of the first pair of flaps is arranged to extend outwardly from the defined first slot at an angle that is away from the interior space to provide a structure that will inhibit a pushing of the electrical cable further into the interior space. Each of the second pair of flaps is arranged to extend inwardly from the defined second slot at an angle towards the interior space to provide a structure that will inhibit a pulling of the electrical cable from the interior space.
