  • Patent number: 11916360
    Abstract: Conductor identification may be provided. A first sleeve may be placed around a first conductor and a second sleeve around a second conductor. Next, a first tag may be placed on the first conductor and a second tag on the second conductor. Then, the first conductor and the second conductor may be pulled together through a conduit. The first conductor may slideably move through the first sleeve and the second conductor may slideably move through the second sleeve as the first conductor and the second conductor are pulled together through the conduit.

  • Patent number: 10356924
    Abstract: A container may be provided. The container may comprise a first surface and a second surface concentric with the first surface. The first surface and the second surface may define a volume. The volume may house a concentric length of multiple parallel conductors. The multiple parallel conductors may pass through a restricting mechanism to restrict the multiple parallel conductors to pass at the same rate and at the same length.

  • Patent number: 9531175
    Abstract: An electrical box block bracket can include a face place and rotatable members extending from each of two opposing edges of the face plate. The face plate can also include a aperture providing a passageway through the face plate and sized and shaped to receive a mud ring and/or electrical junction box. Each rotatable member can be rotatable about an axis defined by the intersection between the face plate and the respective rotatable member. Each rotatable member can also include an adjustable tab disposed along the surface of the rotatable member. The adjustable tab can rotate from a first position aligned with the surface of the rotatable member to a second position at an angle to the surface of the rotatable member such that the tab can be folded over at least a portion of an outer wall or rib of a construction block.
