Abstract: A crimping tool uses a die set with a single point indenter profile to allow of a wide range of electrical connectors and conductors without changing die sets and/or crimping tools. This avoids the need to purchase a separate crimping tool. A die set with an indenter feature in two configurations encompasses the required range of conductors in existing crimping tools, consisting of two pyramid indenter dies and one common wedge die. One advantage of this invention is it allows the strength and versatility of a die set with a single-point indenter without the purchase of a separate crimping tool. The dies of this invention do not require switching out for different sized lugs, thus reducing misplacement and loss. The die halves replace numerous standard U-dies, making the dies of this invention more appealing while offer enhanced pullout strength of connections resulting from this invention.

Abstract: A mast lighting system of the type including at least one mast having a proximate end and an opposite distal end, the distal end capable of supporting an electrical component and the proximate end mounted to a foundation that has at least a portion extending into the ground, an electrical cable within the mast connecting the electrical component to a distribution component assembly through a breakaway electrical connector, and a power source connected to the distribution component assembly. The breakaway electrical connector including a fuse in a first part and a fuse clip in a second part forming the breakaway connection between the two parts of the electrical connector.

Abstract: A gate latch assembly comprising: (a) a biased latchbolt repositionable between a retracted position and an extended position; (b) a latchbolt catch to receive the latchbolt; and (c) a two-stage mechanism for repositioning the latchbolt from the extended position to the retracted position including a first stage mechanism having a clutch for selectively engaging the latchbolt, and a second stage mechanism for repositioning the latchbolt from the extended position to the retracted position while the clutch is engaged, where the second stage mechanism is repositionable independent of the latchbolt when the clutch is not engaged.

Abstract: An interlock switch assembly is disclosed having a unitary baseplate with relatively few moving parts and making use of conventional low cost miniature switches, each positively located and retained with respect to the baseplate. First and second actuators convert, respectively, linear motion of first and second operators into rotary motion to actuate the miniature switches. Switch actuation is prevented unless the properly timed motion of both operators is received by the actuators. A third actuator receives the motion of the first operator and actuates a third switch in response thereto. In one embodiment, the third actuator is prevented from actuating the third switch until after actuation of the first and second switches. In one embodiment, a primary interlock switch is the first switch deactuated and is preferably capable of interrupting power to the microwave energy source when the door is opened before the cooking cycle is completed.
