Abstract: A grounding clamp provides a direct connection to ground between a power transmission or power distribution apparatus and a nearby ground plane. As a grounding clamp is being attached to the mating interface of a power transmission or power distribution apparatus, the angled gripping surfaces permit an operator to ground the spade from a distance of live-line tool's length from the frontplate of the power apparatus and apply the requisite pressure to the mating interface, providing an easier to attach grounding clamp and a more secure ground connection.

Abstract: An electric plug remover and installer with a long adjustable lever arm that has adjustable pivot arms for bearing against a wall or piece of furniture hiding an electric wall outlet and a bottom clamp for holding electric plugs, which is operated by a top hand grip. Elongated clamp arms with enlarged gripping heads are attachable for larger plugs such as those with transformers.

Abstract: A cable end connector assembly (1) includes an insulative housing (10), a number of contacts (20), a number of wires (30), a shell (40, 50) and a pull mechanism (60). The insulative housing includes a number of passageways (11). The contacts are received in the passageways of the insulative housing. The wires are electrically connected with the contacts. The shell is assembled to the insulative housing. The pull mechanism includes a mounting member (61) assembled to the shell and defining a slit (611), a pull tab (62) having a pull portion (621) extending through the slit of the mounting member and a receiving portion (622), and an retaining member (63) received in the receiving portion of the pull tab and abutting against the mounting member.

Abstract: A sensor assembly including a sensor and a data storage medium, on which the specific data of the sensor, such as type, measurement range, calibration date, serial number, manufacturer, etc. are stored. The data may be directly transmitted from the data storage medium to the evaluation device for the adjustment of the evaluation device. Measurement signals from the sensor and data signals from the data storage medium are transmitted via a plug to the evaluation device. The data storage medium is arranged outside the sensor in the connection to the plug, or in the plug enclosure, and is, thus, firmly connected to the sensor. Thus, the sensor, e.g., a piezosensor for the determination of pressures, accelerations or forces, is suitable for the employment in a region with increased temperatures.

Abstract: A power tool is provided including a motor for operating upon the actuation thereof. An elongated power cord has a first end with a plug mounted thereon for releasably connecting with a power receptacle and a second end coupled to the power tool. At least one outlet is mounted on the power tool and connected to the power cord for supplying power to a plug that is releasably inserted within the outlet.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus for connecting and disconnecting an unenergized electrical line relative to an energized electrical line. It includes first and second connector devices, each including an electrically non-conductive member having a manipulatable hook positioned at one end. A fuse is electrically connected between the first and second connector hooks for electrically disconnecting the first connector hook from the second connector hook in the event of an excessive current demand through the connector hooks. A remotely operable switch is eletrically connected between the first and second connector hooks for electrically connecting and disconnecting the first connector hook relative to the second connector hook.

Abstract: Equipment for delivering a fluid, such as herbicide, comprises a carrier (2) in the form of a handset and a support tube (4) which is connected to the carrier (3) and carries a distribution head. A supply duct (6) conveys herbicide from the carrier to the distribution head, and electrical leads (8) provide a connection between a battery, mounted in the carrier, and a motor in the distribution head. The support tube (4) has a connector (10) which is secured to the carrier by a screwthreaded sleeve. A spigot (18) of the connector 10 enters a bore in a valve to provide sealed connection between the valve and the supply duct (6). First contacts (28) on the connector (10) engage second contacts (42) in the carrier to provide electrical connections. The support tube (4) can thus be coupled to the carrier (2) by a simple plug in operation.
