Abstract: An electrical distribution line cover includes a sleeve defining an elongate cavity extending along the length of the sleeve that is sized to receive an electrical distribution line when the sleeve is installed on the electrical distribution line. The sleeve defines an elongate passage extending along the length of the sleeve and configured to permit passage of the electrical distribution line into the elongate cavity. A resilient clip extends around an exterior surface of the sleeve and biases the passage of the sleeve toward a closed position for inhibiting the passage of the distribution line out of the cavity of the sleeve after the sleeve is installed on the distribution line.

Abstract: A clamp for securing an electrically insulating blanket to an item of an electrical system and associated methods. The clamp includes a pair of jaws biased toward each other. The jaws include contact surface elements for improving a hold of the jaws in a clamped configuration. The contact surface elements are formed of reducing wear of material for increasing friction of the jaws on a clamped item and cushioning the jaws on the clamped item. The contact surface elements can be overmolded on bodies of the jaws. The clamp includes an actuator pin configured for engagement by a shotgun stick for opening the jaws but also configured for comfortable hand operation of the clamp. The clamp includes a button for securing the insulating blanket to the clamp. The clamp includes a key ring opening. Indicia molded onto a clamp member of the clamp.

Abstract: A fuse cutout assembly cover including an insulator cover end for positioning over a cutout assembly insulator and including a shield end for shielding a cutout upper contact assembly. An intermediate portion between the insulator cover end and the shield end can have detents for retaining the cover in place on the fuse cutout assembly. The fuse cutout cover can include a plurality of hole and slot arrangements to provide multiple access sites for an installation tool such as a shotgun stick or other hot stick tool. Methods of manufacturing fuse cutout assembly covers are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cover for covering at least a portion of electrical power distribution equipment, such as an open end of a conduit riser. The cover has a bottom opening for fitting over the open end of the conduit riser. The cover has an upper opening to allow egress of one or more wires from the open end of the conduit riser. The cover can be configured for fitting over conduit risers of various sizes and/or accommodating different numbers or sizes of wires. The cover can include ventilation openings for permitting egress of heat from the open end of the conduit riser.

Abstract: A marking system for displaying usable information on URD cables comprising at least one marker comprising a clip and a placard, the clip having a first and second leg and being dimensioned to snugly engage a URD cable.

Abstract: A safety cover and identifier to cover wire terminals in an electric terminal block. The cover/identifier comprises a body comprising dielectric material having a first leg and an opposed, spaced apart second leg The two legs are joined adjacent their midpoints by an integral, resilient spring element. The opposed proximal ends of the legs each have a terminal covering surface and define serrated jaws. The jaws are opened by compression of the distal ends of the legs. The jaws are attached to the electrical terminal block to cover wire connections and each of the proximal ends covers one of a functional pair of wire connectors. The resilient spring element biases the jaws toward each other to secure the cover in place. The device can include stops or a stop gap in the spring to delimit opening of the jaws. The cover/identifier includes indicia to identify aspects of the wires attached to the cover wire connectors.

Abstract: A process for producing an electrical rated glove configured to fit the hand of an individual, comprising the steps of making a three dimensional image of the individual's hand; using an appropriately programmed computer to create a three-dimensional model from the image; using the three-dimensional model to create, through the three dimensional printer, a 3-dimensional glove former corresponding to the 3-dimensional image of the wearer's hand; dipping the glover former in a rubber to form a rubber glove on the former corresponding to the shape to the glove former, thus corresponding to the wearer's hand. In another aspect, the process comprises making a three dimensional image of and individual's hand; constructing a mold based upon the three dimensional image of the hand; molding a glove former in the mold; and forming a rubber glove on the glove former.

Abstract: A two piece, non-conductive cover for covering the conductive base of a horizontal post attached to a utility pole. The cover comprises a first section and a second section. The first section overlaps the second section. The two sections cooperate to define a cavity that encases the conductive end of the horizontal post base fitting. The two sections also cooperate to define a pair of opposed arms that define a space configured and dimensioned to extend partially around a utility pole. Attachment apparatus for attaching the arms to the pole can include, but are not limited to, bolts lag screws, screws, nails, straps or any other apparatus that serves to secure the cover to the utility pole.

Abstract: A wildlife guard for electrical power equipment including an electrically insulating material with a conductive material therein in a quantity sufficient for the guard to maintain an electrostatic charge when placed in an electrical field.

Abstract: A wildlife guard for electrical power equipment including a body constructed to mount onto the equipment. The body has an electrically conductive layer thereon. The electrically conductive layer comprises an electrically insulating material with a conductive filler material in quantity sufficient for the guard to maintain an electrostatic charge. The electrically conductive layer is bonded to the body by over-molding or co-molding techniques. The electrically conductive layer can be continuous or can be discrete segments separated by non-conductive segments. The body can be constructed from a conductive or non-conductive material.
