  • Patent number: 11784471
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods for pushing conductors into conduit and other structures are disclosed. The apparatus (“pusher”) can include rollers to apply a pushing force to one or more conductors or bundles of conductors. One or more rollers can be coupled to a drive mechanism. The pusher is configured to pull conductors or bundles of conductors off of one or more spools, and push the conductors or bundles of conductors without de-bundling or sorting the conductors. The conductors can be fed through the pusher in any format including side-by-side, vertical on top of one another, twisted together, or other formats. The pusher can include a guiding device that is configured to route the conductors from the pusher to a conduit through which the conductors are being pushed or pulled.

  • Publication number: 20040003507
    Abstract: An electrician's conduit layout tool to facilitate placing conduit holes in electrical boxes wherein a small rectangular tool is provided having marking point for both sizes of strut, all parallel conduit marking locations in its peripheral edge and center marking locations for all conduit sizes on a one piece durable Tool. A three step method is used to layout any combination of conduits with no calculations. Is also used in strut rack layout parallel conduit marking locations in its peripheral edge. A panel schedule is also etched into the conduit layout tool for a wire-pulling guide. Lines are drawn through the center of the circumferential trace to facilitate the positioning of a conventional knockout.
