Transverse Screw Patents (Class 285/195)
  • Patent number: 9559506
    Abstract: A cable connector is provided for coupling to and mounted within the internal cavity of an electrical box for securing an electrical cable passing through an opening in the electrical box. The cable connector includes a housing having a first end positioned next to or adjacent the cable opening in the electrical box and a second end spaced from the first end and the cable opening. At least one and typically two cable retaining members are positioned in the cable opening of the housing between the front wall and the rear wall. The cable retainer has a body with a plurality of retaining arms extending into an axial passage of the body for gripping the outer surface of a cable.

    Abstract: A coupling of a heat exchanger includes a saddle for engaging a cylindrical manifold. The saddle has an arcuate cross-section extending between a first edge and a second edge. The saddle defines an opening and a tubular member extends through the saddle and between a top edge and a bottom edge. A lip extends outward from the top edge and a skirt interconnects the lip to the opening in the saddle. The tubular member is oblong-shaped adjacent the opening of the saddle and the tubular member has an oblong-shaped portion extending from the bottom edge to adjacent the opening in the saddle and terminating at a transition zone. The tubular member has a circular-shaped portion extending from the transition zone to the top edge. The oblong-shaped portion has a shorter dimension in the direction between the first and second edges than the circular shaped portion.

  • Publication number: 20090243285
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for connecting a high-pressure line to a tubular high-pressure reservoir in the wall of which at least one connecting bore for the high-pressure line is configured. An end of the high-pressure line is covered by a half-shell of a shell-type securing device. The shell-type securing device encloses a peripheral surface of the high-pressure reservoir, the half-shells being braced against each other.

  • Patent number: 6476319
    Abstract: A junction box connector having a tubular body through which an electrical wire-carrying conduit is passed for termination at the junction box plate. The connector has an end which is designed to engage in an opening in the junction box plate, and may be locked in position so as to prevent axial pullout of the connector once it is in locked position, thus assuring electrical connection of the electrical wires in the junction box.

  • Patent number: 5647613
    Abstract: A conduit connector provides for the retentive termination of an electrical conduit to a junction box. The conduit connector includes the connector housing including a conduit receiving end, an opposed conductor egressing end and a central conduit passage therebetween. The housing includes opposed conduit engagement surfaces which are relatively movable towards one another to engage the conduit supported within the passage. Inwardly directed lances are struck from one of the opposed conduit engagement surfaces for biting engagement with the conduit to frictionally retain the conduit within the connector, resisting axial pullout of the conduit therefrom.
