Patents by Inventor Donald Gibbons

Donald Gibbons has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8780534
    Abstract: An electrical enclosure includes a housing, a moveable bracket, an electrical device, a lever, and a drive assembly. The housing has a door attached to a body. The moveable bracket couples the electrical device to the body. The lever is positioned outside of the housing and is configured to switch between OFF and ON lever positions. The drive assembly at least partially protrudes through an aperture of the body and is attached to the lever. The drive assembly includes a drive cog that directly moves the handle of the circuit breaker between OFF and ON handle positions when the electrical device is in an operational position and the lever is switched from the OFF to the ON lever position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4582152
    Abstract: The specification discloses a balance for measuring a load. This balance uses an electronic or optical transducer and a parallelogram support for the load to be weighed. The parallelogram linkage uses one or more torsion bars to resiliently support the load, wherein the deflection of the parallelogram is proportional to the weight of the load. When used with a capacitance transducer, the parallelogram linkage also enables the capacitor plates to remain parallel to one another as the parallelogram is loading, thereby producing a signal that can be electronically processed to provide a liner digital read out signal on indication of weight. Electronic data processing means as provided to calculate and display on indication of weight and/or volume. An optional opitcal indicator means is also disclosed to provide an optical reading of the weight of the load.
