Systems, devices, and methods for restraining conductors
View Patent ↗Certain exemplary embodiments comprise a retainer adapted to restrain a plurality of electrical conductors. The electrical conductors can be operably connectable to one or more circuit breakers. The retainer can be adapted to define a plurality of through-holes. Each of the plurality of through-holes can be adapted to nondestructively receive therethrough a conductor from the plurality of electrical conductors.
1. A method comprising a plurality of activities, said plurality of activities comprising: installing a retainer adapted to restrain a plurality of electrical conductors, the electrical conductors operably connectable to one or more circuit breakers operably energizable by 100 volts or greater, said retainer adapted to define a plurality of through-holes, each of said plurality of through-holes adapted to nondestructively receive therethrough a single conductor from said plurality of electrical conductors, said retainer comprising: a first part defining a first set of channels; and a second part defining a second set of channels, said first part snapably coupleable to said second part to mate said first set of channels with said second set of channels thereby forming said plurality of through-holes; wherein said retainer comprises a single-flip symmetrical snap lock.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said installing activity is performed after said plurality of electrical conductors is operably connected to said one or more circuit breakers.
3. A device comprising: a retainer adapted to restrain a plurality of electrical conductors, the electrical conductors operably connectable to one or more circuit breakers operably energizable by 100 volts or greater, said retainer adapted to define a plurality of through-holes, each of said plurality of through-holes adapted to nondestructively receive therethrough a single conductor from said plurality of electrical conductors, said retainer comprising: a first part defining a first set of channels; and a second part defining a second set of channels, said first part snapably coupleable to said second part to mate said first set of channels with said second set of channels thereby forming said plurality of through-holes; wherein said retainer comprises a single-flip symmetrical snap lock.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first part is snapably coupleable to said second part via a single-flip symmetrical snap lock, said single-flip symmetrical snap lock comprising an end snap and an end snap receiver.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first part is snapably coupleable to said second part via a single-flip symmetrical snap lock in each end.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first part is snapably coupleable to said second part via a double-flip symmetrical snap lock.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first part is snapably coupleable to said second part via a single-flip symmetrical snap lock and a double-flip symmetrical snap lock.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first part is coupleable to said second part via a first point of fastening on a first end, a second point of fastening on a second end, and an intermediate point of fastening between said first end and said second end.
