Abstract: An electrical device includes an internal electrical conductor that extends along a longitudinal axis. An insulator is overmolded around the internal electrical conductor such that the insulator includes first and second insulator portions with a parting plane at an interface between the first and second insulator portions. The parting plane is oriented such that it intersects the longitudinal axis. The electrical device may include a low electrical stress area defined by an electrical shield, wherein the parting line may be disposed entirely within the low electrical stress area. The electrical device may be a switchgear that includes a vacuum interrupter assembly having a vacuum bottle surrounded by an insulating sleeve comprising first and second sleeve portions with a parting plane at an interface between the first and second sleeve portions. The parting plane is oriented such that it intersects the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A beverage sipper for use with a beverage bottle such as a sparkling beverage bottle comprises a stem portion adapted to be releasably inserted into the neck of a beverage bottle, the stem portion comprising a stem wall having an outer surface adapted to contact the neck of the beverage bottle and an inner surface that defines a stem portion beverage passageway and a sipping portion adapted to extend out of the neck of the beverage bottle when the stem portion is inserted in the beverage bottle, the sipping portion comprising a sipping wall with an inner surface that defines a sipping portion beverage passageway that is in flow communication with the stem portion beverage passageway. The stem portion has a securing mechanism to secure the stem portion within the beverage bottle.
