Abstract: A slide bar interlocking device includes a first group of constrained switch actuators and a second group of unconstrained switch actuators. Only one unconstrained actuator in the first group may be thrown in combination with any switch actuator in the second group and any combination of switch actuators in the second group. A base plate has a fixed position and a movable plate is slideably mounted to the base plate. A plurality of elongate slots is formed in the movable plate and at least one truncate slot is formed in each of the elongate slots. The movable plate has first, second, third, and fourth positions where a switch actuator in the first group is in alignment with a truncate slot so that the aligned switch actuator can be thrown and where all other switch actuators in the first group cannot be thrown.

Abstract: A power distribution cabinet for containing electrical components and associated circuitry includes a panel adapted to provide an interface for the distribution of power from a high voltage source to low voltage applications. The panel includes several outlet receptacle housings, wherein the housings are each L-shaped and disposed contiguously in a vertical series on the front of the cabinet each at a 45-degree angle. Collateral damage to the power distribution center can be minimized wherein a damaged single housing can be replaced without disturbing the remaining housings or outlet receptacles, thereby maintaining the operability of the power distribution center. The housings each comprise several weep slots disposed at the hydraulically lowest point of each of the housings so that condensation that forms on an inner surface of the housing is collected and drained through the weep slots thereby preventing any moisture damage to the interior circuitry and electrical components.

Abstract: An interlocking device for preventing the simultaneous throwing of a pair of switches. An elongate locking bar is provided with two laterally spaced apart switch actuator-receiving recesses formed therein. The elongate locking bar has a first position where a first switch actuator receiving recess is in alignment with a first switch actuator so that said first switch actuator can be thrown. A second switch actuator recess is misaligned with a second switch actuator when said first switch actuator recess is in alignment with the first switch actuator. The elongate locking bar has a second position where the second switch actuator receiving recess is in alignment with the second switch actuator so that the second switch actuator can be thrown. The first switch actuator recess is misaligned with the first switch actuator when the second switch actuator recess is in alignment with the second switch actuator.

Abstract: A relatively lightweight generator base tank for storing flammable and combustible liquids comprising an inner primary tank encased by foam and fire resistant material which is further encased by an outer secondary tank. The system results in a storage tank that is less likely to leak hazardous substances to the environment and is protected from fire and physical damage.

Abstract: 13A cover for a marine generator that attenuates the noise produced by the generator when operating and shields the generator from overhead water damage. The cover includes a substantially water resistant flat top wall having a layer of sound-absorbing material secured to its underside. The flat top wall is supported by four leg members and is disposed in closely spaced apart relation to the top of the generator. Some parts of the generator can be serviced when the flat top wall is locked into place and all parts of the generator can be serviced when the flat top wall is removed.
