  • Patent number: 7906729
    Abstract: A repositionable insulator housing for an angle connector formed from first and second housing sections that are joined together. Each housing section has an exterior surface and a base portion that includes an end wall, a pair of opposing side walls and a back wall. Each of the end walls and pairs of opposing side walls extend from the back walls to form open sides and open ends of the housing sections. When the two housing sections are joined together, the base sections form an enclosure with a pair of apertures in opposing walls. The two housing sections enclose an angle connector so that the open sides correspond and the first open ends form an opening in the housing. The pair of apertures are aligned and adapted to receive an elongated metal rod and the opening in the housing is adapted to receive a conductor.

  • Patent number: 5954302
    Abstract: A cable spacer provides for the spacing of an article such as a cable, wire or conduit from a mounting panel such as a wall or ceiling. The mounting panel accommodates a cable tie for securing the spacer thereto. The spacer includes a spacer body having an article support surface for securely supporting the article thereagainst. The spacer body further includes plural non-coplanar mounting surfaces where each of the mounting surfaces is capable of being supported against the mounting panel. Tie spacer body further includes a cable tie attachment element which permits the accommodation of a cable tie where the spacer element is supported against the mounting panel with any of the non-coplanar mounting surfaces being positioned thereagainst. The spacer also provides for stackability of two or more similar spacers.

  • Patent number: 5305530
    Abstract: A bow sight for use in archery hunting provides for the automated compensation of target distance and elevation differential factors when bow hunting from a relatively elevated site, such as a tree stand. The sight is formed in a generally L shaped configuration, with a pivot at the juncture of the two legs. The forward leg includes a plurality of sight pin mounting points, into which a close distance sight pin and a far distance sight pin may be installed. The sight is mounted to a bow, and the pivot provides for the sight and pins to maintain a constant position relative to the horizontal. An adjustable balance weight is provided in the rear leg of the device for fine adjustment. As the bow is raised or lowered to adjust for different target distances, one of the two sight pins will always appear to be lower than the other, or in a singular situation will be aligned with one another.
