Linear Movement Patents (Class 439/32)
  • Patent number: 5141447
    Abstract: A prewired electrical distribution system of the type which may be fixed to and extend along a surface such as wall for distributing electrical energy is disclosed. The system employs relatively rigid conductor carrying members of various lengths interconnected by substantially identical relatively rigid couplers and may be easily and quickly assembled. Each of the relatively rigid conductor carrying members includes an elongated channel of relatively uniform cross-section throughout its extent with that channel being longitudinally divided into at least two separate raceways, one for receiving power carrying conductors and the other for receiving communication wiring. The channel is formed from two joinable, typically extruded plastic members, and one metal formed member adapted to be fastened, as by screws, to a wall or other surface.

  • Patent number: 4961127
    Abstract: A lamp socket mounting bracket which contains a pair of mounting clamps and is mounted within a reflector. The mounting clamps have reflector ends and socket ends which each have feet. The mounting clamps have curved portions to encompass a lamp socket which forms a fulcrum within the lamp socket mounting bracket. A clamp adjusting means is used at the socket ends of the mounting clamps to tighten the mounting clamps around the lamp socket, help make a substantial contact between the mounting clamps and the lamp socket, and create, along with the fulcrum, a reverse scissors action within the lamp socket mounting bracket.

  • Patent number: 4897051
    Abstract: A flexible electrical connection for use in mounting electrical components to provide three dimensional flexiblity without allowing short circuiting or adverse temperature response which comprises thin and flat conductor leads shaped and bent to form relatively long flat extension portions which are bendable and twistable to permit flexibility in each of the desired directions.
