20130134933 | POWER SAFETY SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING A PLURALITY OF THERMALLY-TRIGGERED ELECTRICAL BREAKING ARRANGEMENTS - A power safety system (PSS) includes a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements (TTEBAs). The plurality of TTEBAs are associated with a plurality of electrical devices (EDs) disposed external to the PSS. The PSS further includes a plurality of electrical power connections (EPCs) associated with said plurality of TTEBAs that are configured to respectively electrically connect the PSS to the plurality of EDs. When at least one TTEBA in the plurality of TTEBAs is electrically operative and at least one thermal event occurs that is sufficient to thermally activate the at least one electrically operative TTEBA, at least the EPC associated with the at least one thermally activated TTEBA is electrically broken. A method to protect a human operator of the PSS from a thermal event is also presented. A PSS also extends to a primary and a secondary electrical charging system used to charge a battery of a vehicle. | 05-30-2013 |
20150097090 | PORTABLE HOLDER FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER WITH AN INLINE ELECTRONICS MODULE - A portable holder for an electric vehicle charger with an inline electronics module. The holder includes or defines a cavity, a first extension, a second extension, and a slot. The cavity is configured to receive the inline electronics module through an opening in the cavity. The first extension is arranged about a first side of the cavity. The second extension is arranged about a second side of the cavity opposite the first side. The first extension and the second extension cooperate to hold in place a vehicle cord connected to the inline electronics module when the vehicle cord is wrapped around the cavity. The slot is defined by the second extension and the cavity. The slot is configured to receive a power cord connected to the inline electronics module when the inline electronics module is inserted into the cavity. | 04-09-2015 |
