Abstract: The present invention is directed a circuit protection component including male and female cable connectors coupled to one another in a lightweight, easy to handle housing. A circuit protection device, such as a fuse, is mounted within the housing and arranged to electrically couple the male cable connector to the female cable connector. The housing can be easily installed at any location of a power distribution network by using the male and female connectors to couple one power cable to another power cable. Accordingly, a plurality of the circuit protection components can be strategically located at each branch or sub-branch circuit in a straightforward coupling of power cables feeding electric power to and forming the localized sections of the power distribution network.

Abstract: A modular, light-weight, portable electric power distribution cabinet having high structural integrity and being readily adaptable for cost effective use in a wide variety of applications. The cabinet can be arranged to be a main power feed, trunk or branch feed type cabinet and a plurality of cabinets of said type can be selectively coupled to one another to provide a power distribution network of any desired configuration. The cabinet also provides for direct access of power cables to the interior of the cabinet so that cables with lugs at the ends thereof can be directly coupled to a bus feed arrangement within the cabinet. The direct access feature of the cabinet includes a cable clamp door to simultaneously engage and clamp a plurality of lugged cables for ancillary strain relief.

Abstract: A strain relief for holding a cable or a plurality of wires against movement relative to a support, such as a multi-part connector or a panel having a hole through which they are passed, has a deformable body advantageously of elastomer and including first and second portions preferably coupled by a strap, the first portion having two spaced ribs with a trough defined between them, the second portion having a base with a transverse wall upstanding on it, the ribs and the wall being disposable such that the cable or plurality of wires are abutted by the ribs, and by the wall between the ribs, and are gripped frictionally and forced into a U-shaped bend, which anchors them against twisting and longitudinal movement relative to the support.

Abstract: A device for releasably locking an item in a panel aperture has a bridge on which are carried two wings each with a first edge nearer the bridge and a second edge more remote from the bridge, the first edges being spaced by less than at least part of the second edges. The second edge is an inclined edge, and the unconstrained spacing of the remoter ends of such edges is greater than the width of the panel aperture. When the item is introduced through the panel aperture, with the bridge leading and the wings trailing, a point of contact between the wings and the panel aperture moves onto the second edge, and inherent resilience of the device prevents return movement of the item through the panel aperture.
