Publication number: 20050239325Abstract: A modular meter socket is releasably mountable in a housing. Support clips are disposed in the housing by fixing a mounting plate carrying the clips in the enclosure. A mounting panel fixedly carries the meter socket and is attached to the clips without the use of tools operative fasteners or additional fasteners. Alternately, a meter socket and a bypass device are unitarily mounted on a mounting panel for attachment to the clips in the housing. The meter socket and the bypass device may be mounted on separate panels, each attached to the clips in the housing without additional fasteners.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2004Publication date: October 27, 2005Applicant: Meter Devices Company, Inc.Inventors: Norman Cook, Christophor Napier, Robert Embly, Darrell Robinson

Patent number: 6734651Abstract: A multiple battery system for a vehicle comprises a primary battery; a reserve battery electrically connectable to the primary battery; and a control unit with a relay switch electrically connected between the primary and reserve batteries. The relay switch is operable to close upon actuation and connect the reserve battery to the primary battery. The control unit also has a receiver electrically connected to the relay switch and is adapted to receive a control signal for actuating the relay switch. A wireless transmitter has a manually actuable switch for sending the control signal to the receiver. With this arrangement, actuation of the transmitter switch causes the control signal to be transmitted to the receiver and actuate the relay switch to connect the reserve battery to the primary battery.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: SimTech Systems, LLCInventors: Norman Cook, Donald Cook

Patent number: 4000483Abstract: A transformer comprising a stack of sheet metal laminations; an insulating plastic bobbin on which a primary coil is wound; an insulating plastic bobbin on which the secondary coil is wound; and two interengaging insulating plastic covers which enclose the primary coil and provide additional insulation between the primary coil and the laminations and between the primary and secondary coils, while also providing a strain relief for the primary leads from the primary coil. The plastic components are formed to provide two mms of insulation between the primary and secondary coils, and between the primary coil and the laminations. The plastic components are arranged to provide at least 10 mms of "creepage" distance between primary and secondary coils and at least 8mms between the primary coil and the laminations. The insulation provided is sufficient to permit the steel laminations to be mounted directly on the metal frame of an appliance.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1976Date of Patent: December 28, 1976Assignee: The Singer CompanyInventors: Albert Norman Cook, Jack Brown, Boleslaw Kornatowski
