Patent number: 11456568Abstract: A protective hood for outdoor electrical outlets or receptacles has an angled top surface, two side panels, and an angled bottom surface having an aperture. In one variant of the protective hood, the aperture in is configured to receive power cords for connection to an electrical outlet over which the protective hood has been mounted, such as an existing electrical outlet installed on a building wall or a power pedestal. In another variant of the protective hood, the aperture in the angled bottom surface is configured to allow an electrical outlet to be installed directly therein, but with the protective hood still being mountable over an electrical outlet on a building wall or power pedestal instead of having an electrical outlet installed in the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: A.

Patent number: 10971910Abstract: A mounting device for outdoor electrical outlets includes an upper plate and a lower plate arranged and interconnected in a generally V-shaped configuration, and is adapted for recessed installation into a power pedestal or other structure. The upper and lower plates may be contiguous along their inner edges. Alternatively, an intermediate plate may be disposed therebetween, giving the mounting device a trapezoidal configuration. Either or both of the upper and lower plates may be sloped, and side plates may extend between the side edges of the upper and lower plates. The upper plate has an aperture for an electrical outlet, which when installed in the aperture will face generally downward and thus be protected from rain and snow. The outer edges of the upper and lower plates, and of the side plates when present, may have mounting flanges to facilitate installation of the mounting device in a power pedestal.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: A.

Patent number: 10367314Abstract: A power pedestal for electrical outlets is mountable to a mounting surface by means of a pedestal base incorporating stress-relief means that will allow the pedestal to break away either partially or completely from the base in response to an external force acting on the pedestal so as to induce stresses in the pedestal base exceeding a predetermined magnitude. The pedestal base may have one or more vertical elements to which the pedestal can be connected. Ground attachment points may be provided in one or more of the vertical elements, for protection against loss of pedestal grounding in the event of impact damage to the pedestal. The power pedestal may include protective apparatus comprising an angled hood having an angled top surface and an angled bottom surface having an aperture for mounting an electrical outlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: A.
