Abstract:
A modular jumper assembly comprising:a first sized module having a housing assembly and a bus assembly; a second sized module having a housing assembly and a bus assembly; said first sized module and said second sized module structured to be coupled together; said first sized module housing assembly having a planar member and plurality of side walls, said planar member having at least one opening therethrough; said second sized module housing assembly having a planar member and a plurality of side walls, said planar member having at least one opening therethrough; said first sized module lower side walls forming a first sized module lower raceway; said second sized module lower side walls forming a second sized module lower raceway; said first sized module upper side walls and said second sized module upper side walls cooperating to form a plurality of upper access raceways; wherein said lower raceways are separated from said upper raceways by each said housing assembly planar member; whereby separate power lines may pass through a said separate upper raceways to be coupled to each bus assembly; wherein each bus assembly includes a planar member, and a collar assembly; each said planar bus planar member disposed in a lower raceway; each said collar assembly disposed in an upper raceway and coupled to said bus assembly planar member through said housing assembly planar member opening; wherein one or more upper raceways provide access to the first sized module bus assembly collar; one or more upper raceways provide access to the second sized module bus assembly collar; said first sized module upper raceways are separate from said second sized module upper raceways; wherein said first sized module raceways include a first sized module left access raceway, a first sized module right access raceway, and a first sized module back medial access raceway; said second sized module raceways include a left access raceway, a back side left access raceway, a back side right access raceway, and a right access raceway; wherein said first sized module housing planar member has a generally rectangular shape; said first sized module lower side walls include a first sized module lower left side wall, a first sized module lower back side wall, a first sized module lower right side wall and a first sized module lower front medial side wall; said first sized module lower left side wall, first sized module lower back side wall and first sized module lower right side wall extending generally along the entire perimeter of said first sized module housing planar member; said first sized module lower front side wall extending over the medial portion of said first sized module planar member front side; whereby said first sized module lower side walls form a first sized module lower raceway; said first sized module bus assembly planar member is disposed within said first sized module lower raceway; wherein said second sized module housing planar member has a U- shape with a base portion, a left extension and a right extension; said second sized module lower side walls include a second sized module left extension lower left side wall, a second sized module left extension lower right side wall, a second sized module right extension lower right side wall, a second sized module right extension lower left side wall, a second sized module base portion lower left side wall, a second sized module base portion lower right side wall, and a second sized module base portion lower back side wall; whereby said second sized module lower side walls form a second sized module lower raceway; and said second sized module bus assembly planar member is disposed within said second sized module lower raceway.
