Abstract: A cable supporting clamp (10) for the orderly routing of flat electrical cables (28, 29, 30) at the interconnection side of electrical equipment frames. A pair of jaws each formed of a pair of arms (18-19; 20-21) extending from one side of a backplate (15) define slots (22, 23) adapted to receive the cable or cables. The cables are trapped in the slots by a pair of nubs (24-25; 26-27) at each jaw extending inwardly into the slots at the ends of the jaw arms (18-19; 20-21). Bracket means (31, 35) are provided at the other side of the backplate (15) for slidably mounting the clamp (10) on a frame cross-member (11).

Abstract: A socket connector (10) for printed wiring boards (37) in which signal or voltage connections may be made between the connector pins (14, 15) rather than by wiring printed on the board. A typical connector (10) is formed to present two lengthwise slots (19, 20) in either side wall (21, 22) of the connector housing (11) to provide access to the connector pins (14, 15). Electrically conductive strips (23, 30, 33, 40, 43) having bifurcated tabs (26, 27, 31, 32, etc.) extending therefrom are fitted into the housing slots (19, 20), the tabs clasping the selected pins (14, 15) to make the electrical connections required. The four slots and the underside of the connector housing make possible a number of pin interconnection combinations. Surface areas of the board are thus freed for other circuit purposes.

Abstract: A fastening arrangement for multiple sections of structural flooring and the like having contiguous corners (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d). The corner end of each section is grooved to present a sector (13) of a cylinder which when combined present a cylindrical bore at the junction of the section corners (10). At least the upper surface of each corner (10) has formed therein a dovetailed recess (15) which widens away from the corner junction point. A flat locking key washer member (17, 22) having dovetailed tabs (20) is fitted into the recesses (15, 15') maintains the contiguous corners (10) in place and a bolt (21) passing through a central aperture (18) of member (17) and to the cylindrical bore presented at the corners (10) may be employed to secure the assembly to a supporting structure (11).
