Patent number: 11305441Abstract: A tool for removing a head or knot of a cable bundling device includes a housing, an opening, and a cutting element disposed within the opening. The housing defines the opening and a funneling element is position within the opening to direct the object to be cut towards an exposed cutting edge of the cutting element. The opening and funneling element are sized and arranged to accommodate the head or knot of the cable device while preventing any undesirable articles from being exposed to the cutting edge. The funneling element includes a wedge shape to prove improved access between the cable tie and the cutting edge.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: DANIELS MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Alan Emad Zantout, Trevor D. Fildes

Patent number: 10218139Abstract: A twist-on wire connector is releasably engageable with a tool. The connector and the tool are provided with complimentary driving features which allow the tool to be moved independent of and relative to the connector when the tool is moved in one rotational direction and which place the tool and connector into driving engagement when the tool is moved in the opposite rotational direction such that the connector is moved with the tool to apply the connector onto a plurality of electrical conductors. The complimentary driving features are provided to the tool and the connector by providing to each of the tool and the connector one or more engagement surfaces positioned adjacent to a slipping surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Alan Emad Zantout, Pryce L. Nutting

Patent number: 10186801Abstract: An electrical buss has a carrier and at least a pair of electrically conductive elements. The at least a pair of electrically conductive elements extend linearly along a length of the carrier and at least a portion of each of the least a pair of electrically conductive elements is exposed at a surface of the carrier. A connector is releasably couplable to the electrical buss adjacent to the surface of the carrier. The connector has at least a pair of electrically conductive contacts for engaging with the electrically conductive elements at any desired location along the length of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Alan Emad Zantout, Benjamin David Swedberg, Trevor Don Fildes

Patent number: 9739457Abstract: An assembly includes a light source holding component sized and arranged to securely receive a source of light. The light source holding component may include a displaceable protective device that functions to generally protect against an accidental touching of electrical terminals of the light source holding component. An accessory mounting feature may also be provided to the light source holding component, The accessory mounting feature is adapted to cooperate with an accessory to provide a seal against a surface to which the light source holding component is attached. The light source holding component may have wire ports that are formed within an overall general outer diameter of the light source holding component. By way of example, the wire ports may include wire contacts having wires pre-attached thereto or the wire ports may include electrical connectors of the push-in type for receiving and thereupon holding wires inserted therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: IDEAL Industries, Inc.Inventors: Dennis M. Breen, IV, Benjamin David Swedberg, Alan Emad Zantout, Matthew David Schroll
