Patent number: 10637225Abstract: An in-floor electrical fitting has a lower body that includes two half-bodies made of intumescent material. Each half-body includes a removable access wall that is also made of intumescent material and that is inserted into slots formed in the half-body. The removable access wall has at least one reduced-thickness section that can be broken off from the removable access wall to create a passageway through the removable access wall. During installation, the two access walls can be removed to allow an installer to a lay a conduit that will pass through the passageway through each access wall when the access walls are reinserted. An installer can pass power wires from one small compartment to another through the conduit while complying with code requirements calling for the separation of power and data cables.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: THE WIREMOLD COMPANYInventors: Marc Galasso, Timothy S.

Patent number: 8901419Abstract: A rising receptacle box assembly includes a receptacle assembly for housing receptacles and jacks. The receptacle assembly can move between a lowered position and a raised position. In the raised position, the receptacle assembly is substantially level with a work surface on which the rising receptacle box assembly is supported, so that the receptacles and jacks are easily accessible. In the lowered position, the receptacle assembly is lowered beneath the work surface so that inserted plugs and connectors are stowed away in a recess below the work surface. Raising and lowering of the receptacle assembly can be coupled to the opening and closing of a lid of the rising receptacle box assembly. The lid may include one or more cutouts so that cables associated with inserted plugs and connectors can pass through when the receptacle assembly moves to the lowered position.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: The Wiremold CompanyInventor: Marc Galasso

Publication number: 20110062307Abstract: A pre-pour sleeve system having a sleeve body and a key that cooperate to form a void in a floor, wall, or other structure. The sleeve body includes a first termination end and a second termination end defining a gap therebetween, each termination end including a mating sleeve feature. The key includes at least one mating key feature adapted to mate with each mating sleeve feature of the body, said key further having a key body that fits into the gap of the sleeve body. In an engaged position, the key is mated with the sleeve body to form a substantially continuous shape, around which concrete or other material is poured. After the concrete sets, the key is disengaged from the sleeve body, allowing the sleeve body to compress and be removed from the floor and reclaimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2009Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: The Wiremold CompanyInventors: Peter Currier, Marc Galasso

Patent number: 7332675Abstract: A divided raceway has runs that must traverse a corner in a wall structure. A raceway elbow assembly has an L-shaped base with mutually perpendicular leg portions adapted to abut the wall at that corner. Divider walls are carried by these flat leg portions, but allow flexing of the elbow leg portions as a result of a V-shaped gap between the divider walls at the vertex of the L-shaped elbow, or as a result of the divider wall overlapping one another in this region.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: The Wiremold CompanyInventor: Marc Galasso
