  • Patent number: 8040664
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methodology for integrating directly within an electricity meter components corresponding to a high current switch. Line and load terminals forming a portion of the high current switch also correspond to line and load terminals configured for insertion into an electricity meter socket. Plural pairs of spring elements are connected at one end thereof to the meter load terminal while the opposite ends of the spring elements carry contacts configured to cooperate with matching contacts on a conductive support. The conductive support is coupled to the line terminal by a further conductive bar that is configured to support a flux-concentrating core for measurement of current flow through the high current switch. The present subject matter has to do with integrating a service disconnect switch directly into the base of a meter so as to provide a dual functionality component.

  • Patent number: 7340144
    Abstract: A fiber optic housing including a base and a cover pivotally to the base. A first guide is provided through which a fiber optic cable enters the housing, along with a second guide through which the fiber optic cable exits the housing. The cover is moveable between an open and closed position, such that the cover forms a horizontally extending tray when in the open position. A splice tray mounting portion is provided within the housing with at least one splice tray. The closure is configured such that a loop of slack buffer tubes is wound around an inner circumferential area of the housing.
