  • Publication number: 20250239424
    Abstract: An electrical device includes an internal electrical conductor that extends along a longitudinal axis. An insulator is overmolded around the internal electrical conductor such that the insulator includes first and second insulator portions with a parting plane at an interface between the first and second insulator portions. The parting plane is oriented such that it intersects the longitudinal axis. The electrical device may include a low electrical stress area defined by an electrical shield, wherein the parting line may be disposed entirely within the low electrical stress area. The electrical device may be a switchgear that includes a vacuum interrupter assembly having a vacuum bottle surrounded by an insulating sleeve comprising first and second sleeve portions with a parting plane at an interface between the first and second sleeve portions. The parting plane is oriented such that it intersects the longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20250118928
    Abstract: An electrical bushing includes a conductor extending along a longitudinal axis and an insulating body surrounding at least a portion of the conductor. The insulating body includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a plurality of sheds extending away from the longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end. The insulating body further includes a recess extending into the insulating body from the first end. The recess defines a female connection interface in communication with the conductor. The insulating body further includes an outer surface extending from the first end to a first shed of the plurality of sheds. The outer surface is configured such that electrical stresses on the outer surface vary by 25% or less along an entire length of the outer surface when the conductor is energized to a non-zero potential.

  • Patent number: 10537183
    Abstract: A bed to a sofa conversion frame, without a seating area, a space reserved for the traditional bed, which is a conventional manufactured mattress, or ii) a conventional manufactured mattress and a box spring, or iii) a conventional manufactured mattress and a two rail frame, optionally with a box spring. The bed to a sofa conversion frame includes a backrest, a footer (optional) and a pair of armrests configured to be connected as a solid state and or assembled together to form a sofa frame around a traditional bed, wherein the backrest is movable from a sofa position to a bed position, in order to convert the frame from a sofa configuration to a bed configuration.

  • Publication number: 20150026881
    Abstract: A bed to a sofa conversion frame, without a seating area, a space reserved for the traditional bed, which is a conventional manufactured mattress, or ii) a conventional manufactured mattress and a box spring, or iii) a conventional manufactured mattress and a two rail frame, optionally with a box spring. The bed to a sofa conversion frame includes a backrest, a footer (optional) and a pair of armrests configured to be connected as a solid state and or assembled together to form a sofa frame around a traditional bed, wherein the backrest comprises a horizontally-extending backrest ridge configured to hold and secure, directly or indirectly, a conventional manufactured mattress and when used as an option the footer comprises a horizontally-extending backrest ridge configured to hold and secure, directly or indirectly, a mattress. The pair of armrests forms a base for mounting the backrest and the footer via corresponding mounting hardware and mounting slots.
