Irradiation cross-linked composite low density/high density polyethylene insulated 600 volt power cables

Abstract: This underground power and service entrance cable is insulated with two layers of polyethylene insulation, the inner layer being low density polyethylene and the outer layer being high density polyethylene with the layers fused together and cross-linked. The insulation is thus a thermoset construction. It provides a cable with insulation which is mechanically stronger, of more economical design, thermoset throughout its full thickness and of superior stability in water; the latter being an advantage when used underground.

Lifting equipment having a boom structure and a control mechanism for use therewith using a flexible light guide

Abstract: Lifting equipment having a support structure and a boom structure mounted on the support structure with a workman's platform carried by the boom structure. The boom structure includes means for electrically insulating the workman's platform from the support structure. A source of light is carried by the boom structure. A control mechanism is provided which is accessible from the workmans's platform. The control mechanism has means for receiving light from the light source. At least one light guide means is carried by the boom structure and is coupled to the control mechanism whereby upon operation of the control mechanism a light from said source can be selected and introduced into the one light guide means. Photosensitive means is provided for sensing when light is introduced into the light guide means. Means is provided which is connected to the photosensitive means for operating the lifting equipment whereby the outer end of the boom structure and the workman's platform can be moved with respect to the support structure.

Aerial lift with rotatable and enclosable basket

Abstract: AERIAL LIFT WITH ROTATABLE AND ENCLOSABLE WORKMAN''S BASKET WHICH SERVES AS AN AERIAL WORKSHOP HAVING MEANS PERMITTING ROTATION OF THE BASKET IN A SUBSTANTIALLY HORIZONTAL PLANE THROUGH SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN 90* AND HAVING MEANS FOR ENCLOSING THE BASKET TO PROTECT THE WORKMAN AGAINST INCLEMENT WEATHER AND PROVIDING LIGHT AND HEAT AND VENTILATION.
