  • Patent number: 11470730
    Abstract: The present disclosure envisages a housing (1000). The housing (1000) has an operative upper compartment (200) and an operative lower compartment (100). A first lid (110) and a second lid (210) cover the lower and the upper compartments (100, 200) respectively. The lid (210) is openable. A panel (400) is configured to be inserted between the lower compartment (100) and the upper compartment (200) thus forming a partition between the compartments. The housing (1000) of the present disclosure, when utilized for housing data distribution elements and electrical power distribution elements separately in its compartments, provides safe access to the data distribution elements and prevents risk of touching live electrical components.

  • Patent number: 11424089
    Abstract: The present disclosure envisages a heat-absorbing-and-dissipating jacket (80) for a terminal (100) of an electrical device (1000). The jacket has a body (81) configured to at least partially contour walls of the housing (10) of the terminal (100) and the jacket is made of a heat-absorbing-and-dissipating material. The body (81) of the jacket has a lower portion (86) extending operatively below the housing (10) of the terminal (100). The body (81) of the jacket also has an upper portion (88) extending operatively above the housing (10) of the terminal (100). The jacket (80) of the present disclosure is a cost-effective means which allows maximum heat absorption and dissipation from an enclosed electrical device and can be incorporated in an existing design of an electrical device.
