Abstract: This invention pertains to an elongated tubular receptacle adapted and arranged to contain one or more essential accouterments available on pleasure boats, such as signal flares and compressed gas cylinders, and the receptacle includes mechanism to secure the receptacle suitably to a support member on a boat deck or wall, such as a vertical stanchion and includes mechanism adapted to readily remove the accouterments from the receptacle.

Abstract: An industrial-type washing machine having a washing compartment and a rinsing compartment in immediate longitudinal alignment with each other and having spray jets respectively receiving washing and rinsing solutions from separate reservoirs and applied under pressure to the upper and lower surfaces of a strip of metal as it passes along a defined path therefor in the compartments, the exit end of the washing compartment being spaced a limited distance from the entrance end of the rinsing compartment to provide application of liquid-removing air sprays applied against the strip and spaced outwardly from the exit end of the rinsing compartment is an air jet compartment in which air from the jets effects drying of the metal strip.

Abstract: An elongated electrical terminal with a deformed mounting portion adapted to be press fit into a circuit board aperture in an edgecard connector. The mounting portion is a generally cylindrical body with symmetrically opposed oval shaped voids extending lengthwise therein. The terminal has contacts at both ends; one of the contacts is a spring arm, the other is a wire wrap tail. The spring arm has a free end parallel to, but off-set from the axis of the wire wrap tail. A plurality of such terminals are press fit into apertures in a supporting circuit board. An insulative connector housing adapted to receive a mating circuit board fits over the spring arm contacts and mates with the supporting circuit board to form an edgecard connector.
