James Alan Strong 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: 8633391
    Abstract: A device includes a cover that includes a base. The cover is configured to be positioned over a mount that couples a support structure of an electrical device to another element. The electrical device includes an energized terminal that is configured to connect to an electrical power system and a grounded terminal. The device also includes an insulating interface coupled to the base of the cover such that, when the cover is positioned over the mount, the interface contacts the support structure to substantially electrically insulate the mount. A system includes an electrical device, a support structure that holds the electrical device on the first side, a mount configured to couple the structure to another element, the mount being grounded during operation of the system, and a protective device positioned over the mount.

  • Patent number: 7301096
    Abstract: An electrical apparatus of an electric distribution power system includes an electrical device having a high voltage electrical terminal that may be energized, an exterior insulating housing, and an insulator. The exterior insulating housing surrounds and insulates the electrical device, and includes an opening through which the high voltage electrical terminal protrudes such that at least a portion of the high voltage electrical terminal is external to the exterior insulating housing. The insulator covers the electrical terminal and is attached to the exterior insulating housing such that no current flow path is provided through an interface between the insulator and the exterior insulating housing.
