Publication number: 20230064811Abstract: A modular family of electrical switching relays that utilize interchangeable mechanical override knobs or blank fillers, combined with enclosures capable of containing two or more independently operable relays; where each independent operating relay can selectively be constructed to either have a mechanical override knob or to have a blank filler thus resulting in a broad number of product permutations from a minimum number of unique components that are required to build those permutations. An electromechanical relay with rotary manual on and off override control where the manual on and off control consists of three distinct positions for (1) forcing/maintaining the relay on, (2) forcing/maintaining the relay off, and (3) allowing the relay to automatically turn on and off or to be remotely turned on and off with an electrical signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventor: Eric Graham

Patent number: 11523528Abstract: A flexible electrical system distribution, switching, and protection solution having two or more autonomous electrical switching devices and optionally adding circuit protection and manual switching in one self-contained device. A printed circuit board assembly is configured to operate two or more electrical switch functions to act from a remote signal input or autonomously, independently or simultaneously. The printed circuit board can be assembled into a housing where multiple independent circuits on the printed circuit board assembly can be permanently electrically connected to each other through electrical conductors thus reducing the number of independent circuits within the assembly. The assembly further consists of an electrically isolative housing and terminal studs and retaining nuts capable to receiving electrical cable ring terminals.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Inventor: Eric Graham
