Patent number: 7450364Abstract: A grounding device for a roll-out electrical component is provided. The grounding device includes an actuation assembly, a static grounding contact assembly, and a biasing device. The actuation assembly structured to be engaged/disengaged by a roll-out electrical component. The static grounding contact assembly has at least one static grounding contact member that is structured to move between a first position, wherein the static grounding contact member does not contact a roll-out electrical component at least one contact, and a second position, wherein the static grounding contact member contacts, and is in electrical communication with, the roll-out electrical component at least one contact. The static grounding contact assembly is coupled to the actuation assembly and responsive to the position of the roll-out electrical component. The biasing device is structured to bias the actuation assembly and the static grounding contact member to their respective first positions.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Paul Kimball Parker, James Edward Smith, Paul Anthony Colbaugh, Ronald Alan Carder, Douglas Michael Brandt

Patent number: 7368674Abstract: A stop device for an electrical device cell includes a generally flat, rectangular stop member and a generally flat, elongated permissive member. The stop member is, preferably, part of a stop member assembly that includes a biasing device. The cell includes a pair of rails upon which a drawout electrical device is movably disposed. The stop member is disposed adjacent to at least one housing assembly rail and is structured to move between a first, extended position, wherein the stop member engages the drawout electrical device and prevents the drawout electrical device from moving from the first, installed position to the second, drawn out position, and a second, withdrawn position, wherein the stop member does not engage the drawout electrical device and the drawout electrical device may move from the first, installed position to the second, drawn out position.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Paul Kimball Parker, Ronald Dale Hartzel, James Edward Smith, Paul Anthony Colbaugh, Ronald Alan Carder, Marcy Dawn Scialabba
