A mounting assembly for mounting an electrical device on a supporting wall of conductive material and including a flanged bushing of conductive material with an integral threaded stem portion extending through an aperture in the wall, and a threaded fastener engaging the stem portion to deflect a flat spring member seated between the flange of the bushing and the inner wall surface. The spring member laterally extending marginal areas defining outer edges with serrated portions to thereby cause the serrated portions to bite into said wall surface, to thereby complete an electrically bonded circuit between said bushing and said wall.

An improved momentary-maintained operating assembly for an electrical switch, including normally-closed maintained contacts and normally-open momentary contacts; lever operated overcenter, toggle mechanism including a stationary support pivotally supporting an operating cambeam member; a maintained and a momentary pushplate pivotally attached to rock the cambeam member on its pivot; spring members attached to cam follower rollers operating on convex cam surfaces of the cambeam member, with the spring members biasing the rollers towards the respective cam surfaces; the opposite ends of the pushplates being pivotally fastened to a yoke plate fastened to and rocked in alternative directions by the lever to operate the respective pushplates in maintained or momentary contact relationship; and separate spring means biasing the momentary pushplate away from contact operation.

An electrical equipment enclosure sealing well construction includes a cup-like sealing well including at at least one end thereof an integrally formed, hollow socket with its bore communicating with the interior of the sealing well and with an insulating molded terminal block mounted externally of the sealing well. The terminal block contains a channel for receiving a conductive lead which has been previously attached to a terminal having a threaded aperture. The channel is apertured at its lower end to receive the stem of a terminal screw and clamp assembly threadingly engageable with the threaded aperture of the terminal. An insulating hinged cover may be formed as an integral part of the molded terminal block.

Enclosure sealing well construction

A seal for an enclosure of electrical equipment includes a metal frame which is clamped between sealing surfaces on the enclosure base and the enclosure cover. A ring of elastomeric material is molded around the outer edge of this frame and raised beads thereon are compressed by the sealing surfaces on the enclosure base and cover to provide a seal around the outer periphery of the enclosure.
