Appl. No.:

5/781862

Inventors:

William Maier - Bridgeport CT

International Classification:

H05K 502

US Classification:

174 65R

Abstract:

A one-piece connector for connecting electric cables to an electrical outlet box comprises a tubular body having an inner portion adapted to fit inside an opening in an outlet box, an outer portion adapted to receive a sheathed cable therein, an annular shoulder on the connector for abutting the outer surface of the box wall, a pair of arcuate lugs provided at diametrically opposite sides of the connector for passage through recesses in the edge of the box opening when the connector is inserted in the opening, the lugs having arcuately spaced opposite side edges, raised arcuate portions between the shoulder and the arcuate lugs which exceed the diameter of the opening in the box wall and become wedged against the edge of the opening when the connector is rotated in the opening, the arcuate raised portions each beginning at one side edge of one of the arcuate lugs and terminating medially between the opposite side edges of the respective arcuate lug, flat raised portions beginning at the medial terminus of the arcuate raised portions and continuing to the other side edge of the arcuate lugs providing a raised surface of increasing diameter as the connector is rotated in order to limit the rotation of the connector in the box opening, an annular bushing inside the tubular body which is integral with the connector and is adapted to fit between the cable sheath and cable insulation at the end of a cable inserted in the outer portion of the tubular connector, and inwardly depressed helical tongues formed integral with the connector in the outer portion for engaging grooves in the cable sheath and locking the cable in the connector.

International Classification:

C10J 346
C10J 354

US Classification:

48197R

Abstract:

A heat recovery process for use in gasification of solid carbonaceous fuel such as coal utilizing a fluidized bed of char. The vapor and entrained char dusts rise from a gasification section into a gas solids disengaging section and into a heat recovery section, from which a major portion of the char solids are returned to the gasification section. The vapor and some retaining fine solids pass upwardly into the cooling section containing a fluidized bed of char particles maintained at a temperature of about 800. degree. -1500. degree. F. by a cooling fluid to solidify sticky ash on the char particles. The char containing the sticky ash is then returned to the lower gasification section for reheating and further gasification reactions. The remaining fine solids are separated from vapors and returned to the lower fluidized beds, and a clean product gas stream is withdrawn.

Appl. No.:

5/659893

Inventors:

William Maier - Stratford CT

International Classification:

H02G 312

US Classification:

220 36

Abstract:

An electric outlet box having a support flange projecting laterally outwardly from one side of the box is attachable to a flange of a channel-shaped metal wall stud common to dry wall construction by the support flange and suitable fasteners. A leveling screw is threaded through a threaded hole in the bottom of the box adjacent the side of the box opposite to the side from which the support flange projects. The leveling screw projects through the bottom of the box with one end thereof being inside the box and slotted, and the other end being outside the box and provided with an enlarged flat head. The leveling screw is manually adjustable by a screw driver engaged in the slotted end in order to engage the enlarged screw head with a rear wall panel supported by the metal stud behind the box and to level the box with respect to a front wall panel supported by the metal stud. The particular arrangement of the outlet box and mounting with reference to the dry wall and metal stud constitutes part of the present disclosure.
