Electrical device coupling adapter
View Patent ↗An electrical device coupling adapter that is operable to electrically connect an electrically operated device exteriorly located to a structure with a low voltage power source or a alternating current power source located within the interior of the structure. The present invention includes a housing being comprised of a base plate and a case portion wherein the case portion is removably secured to one side of the base plate. A first conduit member is secured to the case portion of the housing and is manufactured from a flexible tubing material. A second conduit member is sealably coupled to the base plate opposite the case portion. The second conduit member is rigid and tubular in form and extends outward from the base plate. A supply wire is secured within the second conduit member and can be configured to electrically coupled to either a AC or DC power source.
1. An electrical device coupling adapter that is operable to electrically connect a device exteriorly located to a structure with a power source located interiorly in the structure wherein the adapter comprises:
a housing, said housing having a base plate and a case portion, said case portion being removably coupled to said base plate, said case portion forming an interior volume of said housing;
a first conduit member, said first conduit member being secured to a side of said case portion, said first conduit member having a first end and a second end, said first conduit member being manufactured from a flexible material;
a second conduit member, said second conduit member being secured to said base plate opposite said case portion, said second conduit member being perpendicular to said base plate and extending outward therefrom, said second conduit member having a first end and a second end, said second conduit member being tubular in form and wherein said first end of said second conduit member is sealably coupled to said base plate, wherein said second conduit member further includes a fastener, said fastener being secured to said second end of said second conduit member, said fastener configured to sealably secure said supply wire; and
a supply wire, said supply wire being disposed within said second conduit member, said supply wire being configured to electrically couple to a power source disposed inside a structure to which the electrical device coupling adapter is mounted to the exterior of the structure, wherein said supply wire is configured to electrically couple to a one hundred and twenty volt power source and wherein said supply wire is configured to electrically couple to a low voltage direct current power source.
2. The electrical device coupling adapter as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first conduit member includes a wire disposed therein wherein the wire is coupled to said supply wire within said housing and an electrical device proximate said second end of said first conduit member.
3. The electrical device coupling adapter as recited in claim 2 , wherein said base plate further includes at least one aperture, said at least one aperture of said base plate configured to have a fastener journaled therethrough so as to secure said housing to an exterior wall of the structure.
4. An electrical device coupling adapter that is operable to electrically connect an electrically operated device exteriorly located to a structure with a low voltage power source or a alternating current power source located within the interior of the structure wherein the electrical device coupling adapter comprises:
a housing, said housing having a base plate and a case portion, said base plate having a first side and a second side, said case portion being removably secured to said first side of said base plate, said case portion having a plurality of walls, said plurality of walls operable to form an interior volume of said housing, said case portion being removably coupled to said base plate, said housing being manufactured from a weatherproof material;
a first conduit member, said first conduit member being secured to one of said plurality of walls of said case portion, said first conduit member having a first end and a second end, said first end of said first conduit member being secured to said case portion, said second end of said first conduit member being secured to the electrically operated device, said first conduit member being manufactured from a flexible material;
a second conduit member, said second conduit member being secured to said second side of said base plate opposite said case portion, said second conduit member being perpendicular to said base plate and extending outward therefrom, said second conduit member being tubular in shape, said second conduit member having a first end and a second end, said second conduit member being sealably secured to said base plate proximate said first end of said second conduit member; and
a supply wire, said supply wire being disposed within said second conduit member, said supply wire being sealably secured to said second end of said second conduit member utilizing a fastener, said supply wire being configured to electrically couple to a power source disposed inside a structure to which the electrical device coupling adapter is mounted to the exterior of the structure.
5. The electrical device coupling adapter as recited in claim 4 , wherein said base plate further includes a plurality of apertures, said plurality of apertures of said base plate configured to have a fastener journaled therethrough so as to secure said housing to an exterior wall of the structure.
6. The electrical device coupling adapter as recited in claim 5 , wherein said second conduit member has a wire disposed therein wherein the wire is electrically coupled to the supply wire within said housing and to the electrically operated device.
