  • Patent number: 7643271
    Abstract: An electrical junction box is configured to be attached to a vehicle. The box includes a container that has a front opening and a cavity located behind the front opening. A cover is movably attached to the container, so it can be moved into a closed position covering the front opening. A socket, to which an electrical supply cable can be removably connected, is fixed to the container beside the front opening. Breakers are secured to the container within the cavity. Each breaker has an input terminal and an output terminal. Each input terminal is electrically connected to the supply cable via the socket. Electrical distribution lines connect the breakers' output terminals to components of the vehicle that are outside the cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6547599
    Abstract: An electric socket assembly is provided having a socket sleeve, an insert disc, a socket cap and a plurality of plug extenders. The insert disc carries a common pin and a plurality of non-common pins on its front face and service connection studs on its rear face. Each service connection stud is electrically connected to a respective pin. A socket cap having a plurality of pockets is positioned over the service connection studs such that each service connection stud extends through an opening in the respective pocket of the cap. A plug extender is positioned in each of the pockets of the cap such that the service connection stud extending through the opening in the pocket also extends through an opening in the plug extender. The plug extender includes plural service connection terminals in conductive relation to the service connection stud to enhance the connection capacity of the socket assembly.
