Abstract: A structure for receiving and stabilizing a fence post or other similar support, as well as methods of making and using and a material blank for forming the same, are all described. The support has a flat planar member, into which a series of cooperating notches/slits, recesses, and perforations or frangible connections are provided. When assembled, the support is defined by a pair of axially aligned planar members, cooperatively fitted to form supported receiving recesses at a predetermined axial offset from the non-receiving edge of the support. A method of securing such supports for subsequent encasement in concrete is also contemplated.

Abstract: An electrical enclosure that may house electrical equipment having a reconfigurable cable duct system with one or more movable flaps to form alternative pathways in the enclosure for routing electrical cables from connections inside the enclosure to designated areas outside the enclosure. Methods of routing electrical cables through an enclosure and of assembling a cable duct system within an enclosure are also provided, as are other aspects.

Abstract: A non-load break isolating switch for a voltage controller or other electrical component controller may include a mangle pinion gear shaft and a slider having a gear rack that meshes with the mangle pinion gear shaft. Movement of an ON/OFF switch handle of the controller may cause the mangle pinion gear shaft to rotate. Rotation of the mangle pinion gear shaft may cause the slider to linearly translate along a fixed path, where a conductive connector on the slider may engage or disengage a finger assembly to make or break a connection with a voltage bus. Voltage controllers and methods of assembling a non-load break isolating switch are also provided, as are other aspects.

Abstract: A door interlock apparatus is disclosed. The door interlock apparatus has a body configured to couple to a first one of a door and an enclosure structure, the body having one or more angled self-locating features, a locking protrusion extending from a surface of the body and configured to couple with the locking member of an interlock mechanism, and a misalignment-accommodating mechanism configured and adapted to allow motion of the body. The door interlock apparatus aligns the locking protrusion and locking member during door closing, even when the door and enclosure structure are substantially misaligned. Electrical component enclosures, door interlock assemblies, and methods of assembling a door interlock assembly are also provided, as are other aspects.
