  • Patent number: 6827592
    Abstract: An electrical distribution system includes a track having a longitudinal extension and a facia. The facia has an elongate slot extending generally parallel with the longitudinal extension. The slot includes a plurality of elongate side channels extending transversely from and generally parallel to the longitudinal extension. The track includes a plurality of electrical conductors, with each electrical conductor being positioned within a corresponding side channel. The plurality of electrical conductors include at least one data conductor. A modular electrical component includes a male connector extending therefrom which is disposed within the slot. The male connector includes a plurality of electrical terminals extending therefrom, with each electrical terminal disposed within a corresponding channel and electrically coupled with a corresponding conductor.

  • Patent number: 6767243
    Abstract: A compressor plug cap assembly includes a compressor plug and a fence member. The compressor plug has a first plug side face and an opposing second plug side face, the first plug side face configured for operative association with a compressor. The fence member substantially surrounds and is operatively connected to the compressor plug. The fence member is mounted relative to the compressor plug so as to substantially coextend with the first plug side face and to extend beyond the second plug side face. The fence member has a top fence side and a bottom fence side, each of the top fence side and the bottom fence side being substantially open.

  • Publication number: 20030134543
    Abstract: This invention is directed to an electrical distribution terminal block and modularly couplable electrical receptacles wherein the terminal block is formed by a plurality of stackable wafers. Each wafer has upper channels formed therein that radiate from a common upper interior intersection point to an outer surface thereof, and lower channels formed therein that radiate from a common lower interior intersection point to an outer surface thereof. When the wafers are vertically stacked, the upper channels of one wafer complementally form ducts with the lower channels of another wafer, each duct having an outlet or port in communication with the exterior of the terminal block. An electrical terminal, formed in a configuration adapted to be received in the upper or lower channels, is disposed in each formed duct and includes connectors for coupling to incoming and outgoing wires of a polarity including neutral, and for coupling that polarity or neutral to a terminal of the receptacle.
