Publication number: 20230335963Abstract: A dual action hydraulic piston assembly including a cylinder having first and second inlet ports on a first end and an outlet port on a second end, a conduit connected to the first inlet port and extending into the cylinder, an inner ram slidable along an outer surface of the conduit, and an outer ram slidable between the inner ram and the cylinder. The inner and outer rams are configured to move together toward the second end of the cylinder in response to a fluid being displaced via the first inlet port into the conduit, which displaces a second fluid through the outlet port at a first flow rate. The outer ram is configured to move toward the second end of the cylinder in response to a fluid being displaced via the second inlet port, which displaces the second fluid through the outlet port at a second flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Cameron Michael-Daniel TORREY, Robert Michael Poirier, Michael Anthony Guarrera, Luke John Desmarais, Thomas Romeo Faucher

Patent number: 11745322Abstract: Portable, hand held, battery operated, hydraulic tools are provided with a tool frame and one or more interchangeable working heads. When the working head is connected with the tool frame, a piston actuated by a hydraulic system within the tool frame applies force to the working head to perform a task. A coupling mechanism holds the working head to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism allows the working head to be removed from the tool frame and another working head to be joined to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can hold the working head at a fixed rotational angle with respect to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can also allow the working head to rotate with respect to the tool frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: John David Lefavour, Thomas Romeo Faucher, Lawrence Brown, Peter Matthew Wason, Bernard P. Vachon, Sarah LaPerriere, Mark A. Chiasson

Patent number: 11387634Abstract: Tools for operating on an object, such as a wire or cable are provided. The tool includes a housing and a working head assembly. The working head assembly has a movable section and fixed section secured to the housing. The movable section has a first end movably secured to a first end of the fixed section. The movable section has a second end that is releasably secured to a second end of the fixed section using a latch pin. The working head assembly also includes a latch pin stop that is positioned in the second end of the movable section. The latch pin stop is configured to prevent the latch pin from releasably securing the movable section to the fixed section until the movable section is properly aligned with the fixed section.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: HUBBELL INCORPORATEDInventors: Lawrence Norman Brown, Thomas Romeo Faucher

Patent number: 10965043Abstract: A set screw for connecting conductors with electrical terminals, such as a terminal block of a load panel includes a screw body and a screw face. The screw face fits inside the screw body and is movable along the axis of the screw body. An elastically deformable member, such as a coil spring or set of spring washers is disposed between the screw body and the screw face. The elastically deformable member compresses in response to force exerted between the screw body and screw face. An indicator bar is connected with the screw face and moves along the axis of the screw body along with the screw face in response to the compressive force. The proximal end of the indicator bar extends proximal of the screw body and includes one or more indicia that show the deformation of the elastically deformable member.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: HUBBELL INCORPORATEDInventors: John David Lefavour, Thomas Romeo Faucher
