Patent number: 9882366Abstract: A busway system is provided. The busway system includes a first electrical busway section, a second electrical busway section, and a busway joint. The first and second electrical busway sections are disposed longitudinally offset from each other. The busway joint couples the first and second busway sections. The busway joint includes a first assembly coupled to the first busway section, a second assembly coupled to the second busway section, a plurality of conductors coupled to the first and second assemblies, a first movable brace coupled to the conductors, and a first brace locator coupled to the movable brace. The first and second assemblies move relative to each other between a collapsed position and an extended position. The first movable brace moves longitudinally along a length of the conductors. The first brace locator locates the first movable brace at a first position when the first assembly is in the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: William Patrick Maurer, Vu Dinh Nguyen, Deniz Semih Gifford, Anders Carl Olson

Publication number: 20170201082Abstract: A busway system is provided. The busway system includes a first electrical busway section and a busway joint. The busway joint includes a plurality of conductors spaced apart in parallel and a first assembly. The conductors and the first assembly are coupled to the first busway section. The first assembly includes a plurality of insulation laminations spaced apart to define a plurality of gaps, a plurality of insulating spacers positioned within the gaps adjacent the conductors, and a plurality of bracing fasteners extending through the insulation laminations and the insulating spacers. Each gap receives at least one conductor. A width of the gap is substantially filled by the conductors and the insulating spacers. The bracing fasteners secure the conductors within the first assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2016Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: William Patrick Maurer, Vu Dinh Nguyen, Deniz Semih Gifford

The first and second electrical busway sections are disposed longitudinally offset from each other. The busway joint couples the first and second busway sections. The busway joint includes a plurality of busbars, a plurality of splice plates coupled to the busbars, and a vise brace surrounding the busbars and the splice plates. The splice plates and the busbars electrically couple the first and second electrical busway sections. The vise brace includes a clamp screw to selectively provide a compressive force to the busbars and the splice plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2016Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: William Patrick Maurer, Vu Dinh Nguyen, Deniz Semih Gifford

Patent number: 7096698Abstract: A lock system for a door. The lock system includes a clutch mechanism and a lockset with a lockable latch and actuator for operating the latch. The clutch mechanism includes an input cam, an output cam, and an engagement pin having an axis and being dimensioned and configured for axial movement between a first position, in which the engagement pin engages both the input and output cams so that the input and output cams rotate synchronously, and a second position, which allows independent rotational movement of the input cam and the output cam.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Harrow Products LLCInventors: John E. Walsh, III, Vu Dinh Nguyen
