  • Publication number: 20230294182
    Abstract: A deburring tool for deburring a distal end of a bushing formed within a metal tube. The deburring tool can include a shaft extending along a shaft axis. The shaft can have a shaft distal end and a shaft proximal end. The deburring tool can also include a blade body extending radially outward from the shaft distal end. The blade body can have a cutting edge configured to engage the distal end of the bushing and remove material therealong.

  • Patent number: 10451307
    Abstract: A float drain for an enclosure can include a basket to collect liquid from the enclosure, a sealing structure surrounding an outlet of the basket, and a float configured to seat against the sealing surface to prevent fluid flow out of the outlet and to rise off of the sealing surface due to buoyancy forces as the liquid collects in the basket. The float drain can include other features, including: ribs or other protrusions extending into an interior are of the basket to space the float apart from an inner wall of the basket; an angled orientation of the sealing surface; and a trough, at least partly defined by the sealing structure, to collect debris.

  • Patent number: 10332697
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an encapsulated compressor overload, an encapsulated compressor relay start, an encapsulated head pressure control switch and a wiring diagram for a circuit for air conditioning units which prevent gases from being ignited by means of encapsulating sparking components, use of solid-state switching devices, and/or wiring circuits in such a way that open contacts do not contain enough energy to produce a spark capable of igniting the atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 8905766
    Abstract: A grounding system for a terminal block for wiring to electrical equipment housed within an enclosure is disclosed. The enclosure has a chassis and the terminal block has a grounding socket with an opening for receiving a fastener. The grounding system can include a mounting bracket configured to be coupled to the chassis of the enclosure. The grounding system can further include a grounding tab coupled to the mounting bracket. The grounding tab can including a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion of the grounding tab can be configured to at least partially extend into the grounding socket of the terminal block such that the fastener passes through the opening in the grounding socket, contacts the grounding tab, and grounds the electrical equipment wired to the terminal block.
