  • 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: 4740864
    Abstract: A slidable splice plate assembly for physically and electrically connecting the horizontal bus bars of adjacent sections of control centers. The electrically connecting splice bars and the insulating splice slide plate are preassembled and connected to a single horizontal bus within a control center section bar for shipment. After two adjacent sections of control center have been placed side by side, the splice plate assembly of the first control center section is moved over to overlap and be physically connected to the horizontal bus bar of the adjacent control center section.
