  • Patent number: 11915619
    Abstract: A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

  • Patent number: 11378593
    Abstract: A voltage display module for a voltage indication device has a well body, communication cable, cap, and battery shuttle. The well body is secured to the door of the electrical enclosure. The communication plug of the communication cable is secured to the well body. The cap is removably secured to the well body and is accessible to a user from outside the enclosure. The battery shuttle is housed within the well body and has a communication jack secured to one end. The communication jack is configured to engage the communication plug when the battery shuttle is fully inserted and configured to be electrically isolated from the plug when the battery shuttle is partially withdrawn.

  • Patent number: 10062979
    Abstract: A terminal block marker designed to identify a terminal block. The terminal block marker includes a rigid base and a flexible film insert. The rigid base includes a top with a first arm having a first inwardly extending projection and a second arm having a second inwardly extending projection. The rigid base also includes a bottom with legs extending in a direction opposite the arms to hold the terminal block marker in the terminal block. A flexible film insert with identification markings is installed on the rigid base. The flexible film insert is positioned under a first projection of the first arm and rotated downward until the flexible film insert snaps under the second projection of the second arm. The first and second projections retain the flexible film insert on the rigid base to form the terminal block marker.

  • Patent number: 9058752
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a terminal marker used to identify a terminal block. The terminal marker includes a front having a print surface, a back, sides, and flexible legs. The flexible legs can be positioned in a natural state for installation in the terminal block or a compressed state for obtaining a marking from a printer. In the natural state, the flexible legs extend at an angle with respect to the print surface of the terminal marker. In the compressed state, the flexible legs extend outward beyond of the sides of the terminal marker.
