Abstract
An apparatus for conveying information about a wiring system where said apparatus is configured for being associated with an “end-point” (such as an electrical box) and/or a device electrically associated with an end-point. The apparatus defines mechanical properties (such as a strain relief) and informational properties (such as an aluminum wiring warning).
Claims20
A wiring information device configured to be associated with an electrical end-point, said wiring information device comprising:
- a body defining a pair of opposed faces connected by a peripheral edge and wherein said body defines at least one hole there through thereby defining an outer perimeter and at least one inner perimeter wherein said outer perimeter defines a first polygonal shape and said at least one inner perimeter defines a second polygonal shape;
- and
- wherein said body is configured for being associated with an electrical end-point associated with a wiring system and provide a first mechanical property and an informational property related to said wiring system.
A wiring information system configured to be associated with an electrical end-point, said wiring information system comprising:
- an end-point (ep) label defining an ep-label outer perimeter and an ep-label inner perimeter configured for being associated with an end-point wherein said end-point label provides an information function related to the electrical wiring associated with said end-point;
- and
- a connection point label configured for being associated with a connection point configured to electrically associate two dissimilar wires.
A warning device configured to be associated with an electrical end-point, said warning device comprising:
- a body defining a pair of opposed faces connected by a peripheral edge and wherein said body defines at least one hole therethrough thereby defining an outer perimeter and at least one inner perimeter and wherein said outer perimeter defines a first polygonal shape and said at least one inner perimeter defines a second polygonal shape;
- and
- wherein said body is configured for being associated with an electrical end-point associated with a wiring system and provide a first mechanical property comprising one of (a) a gasket wherein the perimeter of said first polygonal shape matches said electrical box perimeter or (b) an insulator;
- and
- wherein said body further defines a first informational property conveying a warning related to said wiring system.
