  • Patent number: 11649092
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic enclosure for enclosing industrial components. The enclosure comprises a case (2), a lid (9), and a latch device (13) for locking the lid to the case. The lid (9) has a grip means formed as a rigid lug (14) molded to be monolithic with the lid (9), the lug comprising a throughhole (19) to which a hook portion (17) of a rocker (15) can grip. The lug (14) is arranged, in the closed position of the lid, to extend over and at a distance from the second wall (7) to be substantially in parallel with a wall of the case to limit an intermediate space between the wall (7) and the lug (14) when the lid is in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 11427383
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic enclosure (1) for enclosing industrial components. The enclosure comprising a case (2) made of plastics. The case comprises a rectangular rear wall (3) and four side walls (4, 5, 6, 7) delimiting an interior (8) having four corners (9, 10, 11, 12) at the junctures of side walls. The rear wall and the side walls together form a monolithic unitary box-like container which has a mouth opening (13) at one side enabling access to the interior. Each corner comprises fastening means for fastening of one or more panels (P; P1) inside the interior in parallel and at a desired distance relative to the rear wall. The fastening means comprises a pair of rib members (14, 15) molded integrally as unitary monolithic structures with the side walls. The rib members extend along the side walls between the rear wall and the mouth opening. Each rib member comprises a plurality of equally spaced grooves (16) extending at right angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the rib member.

  • Patent number: 8368499
    Abstract: A disc winding of a power transformer or a choke is provided. The disc winding includes a plurality of parallel single strand conductors. The working time for bending the strand conductors of cross-overs is reduced by sharing the winding axially in plurality of sections, and the cross-overs within a section are identical twin cross-overs. The strand conductors are bent in two groups, and a standardized twin transposition cross-over is provided between the sections such that the strand conductors are being bent in two groups. The outermost strand conductor is in the first group, and the remaining strand conductors are in the other group.

  • Patent number: 8033408
    Abstract: An enclosure which has a lead-through for passing a rod-like element through a wall of the enclosure, and a grommet for sealing a rod-like element to a wall of an enclosure, the grommet having a passage for passing the rod-like element therealong through the grommet and the passage having its walls adapted to fit around the rod-like element. The grommet includes a first recess adapted to match at least a rim of a cutout in the enclosure; a second recess, adapted to receive a clamping element which is adapted to secure and seal the rod-like element to the grommet by applying a radial compression to the rod-like element; one split face, which establishes an openable route between the exterior of the grommet and the passage, the split face being provided with sealing elements for an axially directed and radially directed alignment and sealing of the split face.

  • Patent number: 7072945
    Abstract: An appliance network for controlling appliances from a remote location. The appliances include memory which contains an address location from which an appliance control module can be located for controlling a corresponding appliance. The address location is provided to a local controller, preferably by wireless transmission, which then uses the address location to access the appliance control module. Once accessed, the appliance control module is stored on a local server for use in controlling the corresponding appliance. In a preferred embodiment, a security feature is included to limit appliance control access to authorized users.

  • Publication number: 20040177072
    Abstract: A method and system for providing selective access to appliances by terminals in a smart environment is provided. Each terminal and appliance is assigned a unique identification code (UID). Appliances and terminals wireless transmit their UID and receive UIDs transmitted by other appliances and terminals. Upon receiving a terminal's UID, an appliance queries a database to determine whether the terminal is authorized to control that appliance based on authorization information stored in the database. An owner may be notified id a terminal without authorization attempts to control an appliance or enters the environment.
