Abstract: A washing tool is disclosed which includes a plate joined to a link for engaging a handle for manipulating the plate. A shank on the back of the plate is engaged by a tongue that is normally on the link. A hub hinges the tongue and the shank together, and a pin disposed in the shank at a location which is spaced apart from the hub is arranged to fix the plate in a variety of positions. A washing mitt is disclosed which may be fixed on the plate.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a housing of electrically insulative material and defining an interior compartment and passages extending from the interior compartment to an exterior surface of the housing. Electrical contact members are resident in the housing passages. At least one of the passages is circular in configuration and a power contact member resident in the one passage has a portion resident in the one passage circular in configuration and in press-fit sealed relation with the housing. The contact member resident in the one passage has a further portion resident in the interior compartment of blade-shaped configuration. A method of making the connector includes a step of press-fitting the power contact member into the one passage from the interior compartment with the contact member circular portion leading the contact member blade portion, such that the circular portion is in interference fit in the one passage and that the blade portion is resident in the interior compartment.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for effecting removal of a semiconductive chip having an exteriorly-accessible surface and chip contacts depending therefrom from a chip carrier having an exteriorly-accessible surface and chip carrier contacts therein in retentive engagement with the chip contacts and with the chip carrier contacts being secured in a printed circuit board. The apparatus comprises a tool having mutually displaceable removal members adapted in a first tool state to bear respectively against an exteriorly-accessible surface of the chip and against an exteriorly-accessible surface of the chip carrier, neither of such removal members engaging the printed circuit board in such first state. The tool is operable from the first state to mutually displace the removal members for effecting removal of the chip from the carrier without either of the removal members engaging the printed circuit board.
