  • Patent number: 6066802
    Abstract: A safety enclosure system for a transformer is disclosed including a high voltage enclosure used in conjunction with a flip top hood on pad mounted transformers to provide an additional access restriction to the high voltage compartment after the hood has been opened. The high voltage enclosure is designed such that it is secured to the barrier plate separating the high voltage terminals from the low voltage terminals and after opening the enclosure is swung to the side, out of the way, for any operations in the high voltage compartment. The enclosure must then be closed before the hood can be closed and locked. This provides increased security for any further access to the high voltage compartment.

  • Patent number: 4690651
    Abstract: An inflatable aquatic device has a single inflatable, flotation chamber with a rigid flange element circumscribing the periphery of the inflatable chamber and a flexible lower sheet also attached to the chamber. The aquatic device conforms generally to a size for utilizing on the hand of a user and the flat, lower sheet, which is adhered at its edges to the inflatable chamber, is formed with apertures through which fingers and thumb of the user may pass, thereby permitting the user to utilize his hand for grasping objects and the like and yet still have the flotation chamber firmly attached thereto. The flange element is tapered so that it is deformed from a planar two-dimensional surface into a curved, three-dimensional surface to form a scoop-like element on the lower side and a curved water run-off channel on the upper side.
