  • Patent number: 6878876
    Abstract: A pressure plate for an electrical device includes at least one internal standoff, at least one outboard standoff, and an anti-rotation leg. The internal and outboard standoffs prevent overtightening of the terminal screw. The anti-rotation leg preserves the orientation of the pressure plate and prevents a speed wire arm from being deformed when removing a speed wired wire from the device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2005
    Assignee: Pass & Seymour, Inc.
    Inventors: Edward Brant, John F. Myers, Gerald R. Savicki, Jr.

  • Patent number: 6313403
    Abstract: A wiring device includes a one piece metal strap having end portions adapted to be attached to a junction box, a central opening, and a ground plate integral with the mounting strap having a first portion extending parallel to and adjacent the mounting strap, and a second portion substantially at right angles to the mounting strap.

  • Patent number: 4282090
    Abstract: A sifting or screening device includes inner and outer concentric screened enclosures which rotate about a common axis. An inlet is provided at one axial end of the inner enclosure and an outlet is provided at the opposite axial end of the enclosures for the material that was too large to pass through the openings defined by the screens. An inclined dead plate or baffle member is provided at the inlet to prevent material fed in through a chute from impinging directly on the screen material and a pressurized air system presents a pulsating curtain of air to disengage material which has become lodged in the screen. A novel support system includes a circular support surface at the inlet end which rides on a pair of bearings and a central axle coincident with the axis of rotation driven by a motor at the outlet end. The axis of rotation is caused to lie at a small angle to the horizontal so that material which will not pass through the screens will slowly fall toward the outlet end of the enclosures.
