Abstract

A wildlife guard assembly is provided that includes two cover sections, a biasing member, and a toggle action lever mechanism. The cover sections are hinged so that the cover sections, when in a closed position, a cavity to capture a line post insulator is defined. The biasing member normally biases the cover sections to the closed position. The lever mechanism is connected to the cover sections and has an over-center position that releasably holds the two cover sections in an open position. The lever mechanism is positioned in the cavity such that, during installation on the line post insulator, the line post insulator interacts with the lever mechanism to move the lever mechanism from the over-center position to allow the biasing member and the lever mechanism to move the cover sections to the closed position.

Abstract

An ignition system for initiating exothermic welds is provided. The ignition system holds a quantity of a reaction mixture in a hopper. The hopper is closed at the bottom by a movable gate. When the gate is opened, powder falls from the hopper, though a passage, and through an ignition chamber. High voltage electrodes are provided in the ignition chamber. As the powder falls through the ignition chamber, the electrodes are energized, generating an electrical arc. The arc ignites the falling powder. The ignited powder falls from the bottom of the chamber and into the reaction chamber of an exothermic mold, where the ignited powder initiates a thermite reaction that generates molten metal to form an exothermic weld.

Abstract

Portable, hand-held, battery operated, hydraulic tools are provided with a tool frame, a force sensor, and a location detector. A piston actuated by a hydraulic system within the tool frame applies force to the working head to perform a task, such as to apply a crimp to an electrical connector. The tool determines the maximum force applied to the crimp and records that maximum force along with the geographic location of the tool when the crimp was formed. The maximum force provides an indication of the quality of the crimp and the recorded location allows a potentially defective crimp to be located. Images of crimps can be uploaded to a web service and linked to cycle information for retrieval and review at a later date.
