Abstract: A self-locking ignition switch for engagement with a lock housing driver of a motor vehicle having a key activated ignition system. The ignition switch includes a switch mechanism that is moveable between multiple key positions. The switch mechanism is enclosed within a casing, and the casing including a collar extending from a side wall of the casing and terminating at a distal end. The collar further has portions defining an interference and portions defining a side opening extending from the distal end toward the side wall of the casing. A slide member positioned within the collar and biased by a biasing member so as to engage the interference. Engagement between the interference and the slide member forms a lockout that fixes the switch mechanism in an installation configuration and prevents movement of the portions of the switch mechanism between the multiple key positions prior to installation.

Abstract: The coupled building wire of the present invention comprises a first length of non-face metallic cable having a top surface and a bottom surface and a second length non-metallic cable having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface of the first length of non-metallic cable is coupled to the top surface of the second length of non-metallic cable. The first length of non-metallic cable comprising at least one circuit conductor having a first gauge. The second length of non-metallic cable comprises at least one circuit conductor having a second gauge. The first gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the first length of non-metallic cable may be substantially equal or unequal to the second gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the second length of non-metallic cable.
