Abstract: A beverage cup carrier includes multiple pockets arranged in laterally spaced relation. Each pocket includes a bottom wall, a plurality of conical side wall portions, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced webs. The side wall portions encompass the bottom wall and extend upwardly and outwardly therefrom. The side wall portions are circumferentially spaced from each other and form surface portions of a curved surface of an imaginary inverted cone. The webs interconnect the side wall portions and extend radially inward from the curved surface of the imaginary inverted cone. Each of the webs includes a flat central section and a pair of opposing side sections connecting the central section to adjacent ones of the conical side wall portions. The central section extends upwardly and outwardly from the bottom wall. The pair of opposing side sections of each of the webs form surface portions of a curved surface of a respective imaginary upright cone.

Abstract: A station protector module contains telephone company terminals and subscriber terminals. The module has apparatus for grounding the module in a network interface device and also has means for grounding upon extended grounding current flow through a surge protector in the module. The grounding apparatus becomes operative upon the melting of a fusible means. The surge protector is a single component bidirectional voltage sensitive switch.
