Patent number: 9954337Abstract: Overmolded electrical plugs with integrated strain relief are disclosed. The strain relief may have multiple protrusions extending though the overmolded housing which are visible to users. The strain relief may employ a ratcheting mechanism which permanently secures the strain relief on the electrical power cord. The strain relief may be partially assembled in a pre-lock configuration on the electrical power cord where the strain relief may be positioned on the power cord, and then be further pressed to a locked configuration in which the is securely attached to the power cord. The strain relief is self-aligned on the electrical plug during an assembly process.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Inventors: Selvin Kao, Philip Carlo J. DeGuzman, Sze-Han Liao

Patent number: 9744703Abstract: Electrical plugs having single and double insulation as well as the method for manufacturing the double insulating electrical plugs are disclosed. The single insulated electrical plugs have internal walls which electrically isolate the electrical connectors. The single insulated electrical plug has a one-piece body with a central base which accepts the electrical connectors, as well as two covers hingably coupled to the base to secure the connectors in place. The double insulated electrical plugs are insulated by both an inner body as well as the overmold material. The inner body has vents which enable overmold material to be injected into the inner portions of the inner body as well as onto the outside of the inner body. During the manufacturing process, molten material flows over the outside of the inner body, and also flows into the interior of the inner body to provide two layers of electrical insulation.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: STANDARD CABLE USA, INC.Inventors: Selvin Kao, Philip Carlo J.

Publication number: 20140248789Abstract: Lockable electrical connector assemblies that couple electrical connectors to prevent the electrical connectors from unintentionally disconnecting are disclosed. The electrical connector assembly has a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, and a retention ring that has one end surrounding and able to rotate about the second electrical connector. The first electrical connector preferably has tabs that extend away from the first electrical connector. The retention ring has a second end shaped to receive and lock the tabs of the male electrical connector. To form a locked connection, a user rotates the retention ring that causes the retention ring to confine the tabs of the first electrical connector. The user continues to rotate the retention ring until retention ring is placed into a locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: STANDARD CABLE USA, INC.Inventors: Selvin Kao, Philip Carlo J.

Publication number: 20130334898Abstract: Alternating current power systems for powering cordless power tools are disclosed. An electrical power assembly comprises an alternating current to direct current (“AC/DC”) converter connected to a power interface adapter. The AC/DC converter receives alternating current through an electrical socket and generates direct current. A power interface adapter shaped similarly to the replacement battery packs is connected to the cordless power tools and feeds the direct current to the cordless tool. The AC/DC converter may be located within the power interface adapter or a wall-mountable electrical connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2013Publication date: December 19, 2013Inventors: Selvin Kao, Philip Carlo J.

Patent number: 8512069Abstract: A low-profile flat plug electrical connector having an integrated strain relief section and an interlocking terminating end is disclosed. The flat plug electrical connector has a housing for holding the electrical cable and prongs, and a cap for covering the internal structure of the housing. The housing has an integrated strain relief section for preventing damage to the flat plug electrical connector from abrupt pulling or pushing of the electrical cords. The cap and the housing have interlocking terminating ends which are configured for preventing the cap from separating from the housing when the plug is pulled from an electrical outlet. The electrical prongs of the hot and neutral electrical wires and the ground pin are locked in place by posts protruding from the cap which urges the prong mounting tab against a mounting surface in the housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2011Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Standard Cable USA, Inc.Inventors: Selvin Kao, Philip Carlo J.
