  • Patent number: 6987665
    Abstract: The invention provides a power supply for a plurality of signaling devices on an emergency vehicle. The power supply includes a plurality of outlets distributed along a housing. A cable raceway extends through the housing past the plurality of outlets and defines a passage through which cables can be fed to connect each of the signaling devices to a respective one of the outlets. A cable comb is supported by the power supply housing and defines a plurality of cable slots in the cable raceway, with each slot being located adjacent a respective one of the outlets. Each outlet can have an associated light-emitting device (LED) for displaying an operational status of the signaling device connected to the respective outlet. A cover can be supported on the housing for movement between open and closed positions.

  • Patent number: 5760678
    Abstract: A pull box for an emergency alarm system is disclosed having a modular construction that accommodates one or more optional modules in order to provide a wide variety of possible configurations. Also, the basic design of the pull station provides for its resetting without requiring a cover of the pull station to be open. As part of the optional modules, the pull station may be configured to provide both local and general alarm signals, with the general alarm signal capable of being activated only by authorized personnel.
