Jozef Cernicka 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: 7839257
    Abstract: The present invention teaches an overvoltage protection device that includes at least one non-linear resistance element and a single cut-off device coupled with the at least one non-linear resistance element to disable the at least one non-linear resistance element when the at least one non-linear resistance element reaches a pre-determined temperature. The single cut-off device may include stranded wire, a first solder having a first melting point connecting the stranded wire to the at least one non-linear resistance element, and a second solder having a second melting point, higher than the first melting point, connecting the stranded wire to the at least one non-linear resistance element. The single cut-off device may further include a shifting part that shifts when the at least one non-linear resistance element heats the first solder to the first melting point.

  • Publication number: 20090244795
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for a remote monitoring the state of at least a single-pole surge protection which consists of a bracket (1) and at least one slide-in protective member (2) whereas the bracket (1) and also the slide-in protective members (2) are fitted with mechanical devices for detecting the status change of each of the slide-in protective members (2) and the bracket (1) is further fitted with devices for the status change of the switch (4) on the basis of a status change of some of the slide-in protective members (2) whereas the switch (4) is fitted with devices for connecting to the remote conduit of the status change of the switch (4) signal.

  • Publication number: 20090097183
    Abstract: The invention relates to an overvoltage protection comprising a bracket (1) and at least one slide-in protective member (2) which consists of at least one nonlinear resistor element and it further comprises a device for disconnecting the nonlinear resistor element from the mains and at least a part of a device for local and/or remote signalling the state of the overvoltage protection. The invention consists in that there is a sliding member (4) mounted in the body (7) of the slide-in protective member (2) in a reciprocal manner and with a pressure action against a low-melting bond of a cable (10) with an electrode (9) of the nonlinear resistor element, whereas the sliding member (4) is fitted with at least one surface for acting on a visual signalling lever (16) and it is further fitted with at least one surface for acting on a positioning element (3) of the remote signalling mounted in the bracket (1).
