Filed:

Jan 18, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/374003

Inventors:

Herbert Anker - Little Neck NY

Assignee:

Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Little Neck NY

International Classification:

H05K 503

US Classification:

174 66

Abstract:

An interchangeable wallplate assembly made up of two or more interchangeable panels which can be locked together to cover electrical devices mounted in two or more ganged gem boxes. The panels can be blank or have apertures to permit portions of the electrical devices to extend therethrough for front access. If an electrical device is changed or another is added or removed the assembly can be altered to match the new electrical device configuration. End panels each have a pawl and a loop spaced along one wall while central panels have pawls and loops spaced along both walls. Thus, end panels can be joined to themselves or to a central panel which can also be mounted to similar central panels to allow the assembly to be increased to cover any ganged gem box.

Appl. No.:

6/782381

Inventors:

John M. Poliak - East Meadow NY
Herbert Anker - Little Neck NY

Assignee:

Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc. - Little Neck NY

International Classification:

H01R 1359

US Classification:

339103B

Abstract:

A clamping system for holding an electrical cord to the wall plate of an electrical appliance. The wall plate forms a circular hole in which an externally threaded body having a cord passage is mounted. A flange of the body is positioned against the inner surface of the wall plate. A pair of flexibly movable arm members having opposed teeth extends in an axial direction from the outer end of the body outside the wall plate. A nut member is threaded onto the body so as to draw the flange and the nut member together with the wall plate between them. The nut member presses the teeth of the arm member together into gripping relationship with the cord. The body can be split into semicircular bodies for easy positioning of the cord.
