Patent number: 9825459Abstract: An electrical coupling device, such as a surge protector for a rail or other conductive structure, includes a pair of terminals, and a jumper for selectively electrically coupling and decoupling the terminals. Movement of the jumper may expose part of the jumper or one or both of the terminals, such as for use as a test point. A surge module with one or more surge protection features may fit into a base that includes the terminal and the jumper. The module may have an interface feature, such as a protruding post, that prevents engagement with the base if the base is not properly engaged with the rail or other structure. In one embodiment, a threaded rod may serve as the jumper and in one position electrically couples the terminals and in another position electrically decouples the terminals and one end of the threaded rod becomes exposed for use as a test point.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: ERICO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Ernest Richard-Dean Buehman, Nicholas J. Ambrogio, Daniel Watson, Daniel A. Pfaff, Thomas R. Bockstoce

Patent number: 9051010Abstract: A dash cluster system and a method for securing and/or interconnecting a dash cluster to power equipment. The dash cluster system includes a housing having a connecting assembly including at least one peripheral connector positioned along a peripheral surface of the housing. The dash cluster system further comprises a bezel having a front side and a rear side. The bezel also comprises a connecting arrangement formed from at least one extending connector, extending from the rear side. The dash cluster system also comprises a securing connection formed between the housing and the bezel by the interlocking of the peripheral connector of the connecting assembly with the extending connector of the connecting arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2013Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Delta Systems. IncInventors: Dennis R. Young, Michael Eric Liedtke, Ernest Richard-Dean Buehman
