Latest Patents
One of Crozier's notable inventions is the Power Distribution Block Assembly. This terminal block assembly provides a finger-safe method of distributing power while enabling installers to make uniform and correct connections to multiple taps or ports. Each connection features an abutment or seat that physically engages the end of the conductor. The design of the block and its insulating case allows installers to visually access the tip of the conductor in its proper seated position before securing it with clamp screws. To enhance this visual access, the walls partially blocking the seating end of each conductor socket are scalloped or designed with an inverted conical section, allowing the tip of each conductor to be seen from the top of the block. Additionally, the entire top of the insulating case is made from a transparent material, facilitating easy inspection. In one embodiment, the top includes interior projections that gauge and limit the retraction of some clamp screws, preventing them from becoming loose. In another embodiment, the screws remain in axial alignment with their respective sockets, even when fully retracted, ensuring they do not become loose in the case.
