Abstract:
An apparatus for assisting a user in aligning and sizing a plurality of spaced-apart channels to be formed in a support structure, the support structure being positioned for passing a plurality of leads extending from a power generator through a power generator housing, the apparatus comprising:a main member adapted to be readily positioned adjacent the support structure; a plurality of secondary members adjustably connected to the main member and independently positioned relative to each other to thereby permit the user to position each of the plurality of secondary members such that each of a pair of secondary members is spaced-apart from each other at a distance corresponding to a related distance between a corresponding pair of the plurality of leads to thereby assist the user in selecting a position in the support structure to form each of the plurality of spaced-apart channels such that the plurality of spaced-apart channels are substantially aligned with each of the plurality of leads; and a plurality of channel sizers each connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of secondary members to assist the user in sizing each of the plurality of spaced-apart channels to be formed in the support structure such that each of the spaced-apart channels accommodates a corresponding one of the plurality of leads.
