  • Publication number: 20200021094
    Abstract: An electrical box assembly having an electrical box and a cable connector is provided. The cable connector includes a mounting bracket cable retaining member and a cable stop. The mounting bracket is secured to or integral with a side wall of the electrical box. The cable retaining member is secured to the mounting bracket and has a cable gripping portion extending into a cable receiving zone of the box. The cable stop extends from a bottom wall of the electrical box into the cable receiving zone. The cable stop permits one or more electrical wires from an electrical cable to pass through the cable stop while blocking sheathing of the electrical cable from passing through the cable stop.

  • Publication number: 20190323637
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides couplers used to connect one length of rigid electrical conduit to another length of rigid electrical conduit. The couplers include a body having a first coupling portion, a second coupling portion, a stop portion positioned between the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion, and a longitudinal bore extending from the first coupling portion through the stop portion to the second coupling portion. The longitudinal bore within the first coupling portion is a threaded bore capable of receiving a threaded end of a first threaded electrical conduit. The longitudinal bore within the second coupling portion has a diameter capable of receiving a threaded end of a second threaded conduit or an unthreaded end of an unthreaded conduit. The longitudinal bore within the stop portion has a diameter that provides a wire passage between the first threaded conduit and the second threaded conduit or the unthreaded conduit.

  • Publication number: 20190305538
    Abstract: An adjustable mud ring assembly is provided that includes a base plate, a movable ring, and an indexing screw con-figured to move the movable ring with respect to the base plate between a first position and a second position. The base plate has a junction box connecting portion, a support connecting portion, and a stationary ring. The base plate can have an offset distance (D2) between the junction box connecting portion and the sup-port connecting portion where the offset distance is sufficient to allow the movable ring to move into stationary ring to the first position without protruding, at a lowermost point, into a junction box connected to the junction box connecting portion.

  • Patent number: 10256614
    Abstract: An adjustable mud ring assembly is provided that includes a base plate, a movable ring, and an indexing screw configured to move the movable ring with respect to the base plate between a first position and a second position. The base plate has a junction box connecting portion, a support connecting portion, and a stationary ring. The base plate can have an offset distance (D2) between the junction box connecting portion and the support connecting portion where the offset distance is sufficient to allow the movable ring to move into stationary ring to the first position without protruding, at a lowermost point, into a junction box connected to the junction box connecting portion.

  • Patent number: 7225109
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting mechanical problems in machinery used in a process. A model of the process is developed using a modeling technique such as advanced pattern recognition and the model is used to generate predicted values for a predetermined number of the operating parameters of the process and vibration parameters of the machinery. Statistical process control methods are used to determine if the difference between the predicted and actual measured values for one or more of the parameters exceeds a configured statistical limit. A rule set is used to indicate an actual or probable fault in the machinery.
