Appl. No.:

11/123368

International Classification:

F16H 27/04

US Classification:

07408400S

Abstract:

The invention is a device that converts a linear input to a rotational output. The invention includes a system of one or more extendable and retractable members that actively change the radius of rotation of weights on the members. The members are connected to a rotatable member for rotation about a non-vertical axis. By actively changing the radius of rotation of a weight, a non-circular path is established for each weight to follow. This path is biased so that, while the weight has the greatest radius of rotation, it also is undergoing a downward stroke. While the weight is undergoing an upward stroke, the radius of rotation is at its minimum. The system thereby utilizes the force of gravity during transitions between maximum and minimum radii to produce a rotational output.

Abstract:

A bushing (20) is placed in an aperture in an electrical box. Placement of a plurality of plugs (40) in the bushing leaves a plurality of interstices (30) through which wires may enter the electrical box. Interstices are selected to allow wires to feed straight into their connection point from outside the electrical box.
