Abstract: The interlocking assembly system includes a seat track, a floor beam and a clip for connecting the seat track to the underlying floor beam. The clip includes first and second clip members that cooperate to engage the opposed edges of the floor beam. Each clip member has a beam attachment portion, typically including an inward sill, for engaging the respective beam edge once the clip members have been slidably engaged. Additionally, the first clip member includes an elongate tongue extending away from the respective beam attachment portion. In addition, the second clip member includes a pair of elongate rails that extend away from the respective beam attachment portion and are spaced apart to define a lengthwise extending channel that is sized to slidably receive the elongate tongue. Once the lengthwise extending channel has received the elongate tongue, the clip members can be secured by a fastener. Thereafter, the seat track can be slid or snapped onto the clip.

Abstract: A fastener removal tool includes a substantially planar body portion having first and second ends. A standoff portion extends from the first end. A handle portion extends from the second end. The body portion forms a slot therein for cooperation with the fastener head, whereby the slot may be engaged with the fastener head and the standoff portion used as a fulcrum for removing the fastener. The slot has narrow opposing ends to facilitate engagement with the fastener head as the tool is moved in either longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An automatic pneumatically powered crimping hand tool for making electrical connections is devised by advancing a bandoleer of contact carriers, each contact carrier including a contact, to align one of the contact carriers and contacts in an ejectable position within the tool. Once in the ejectable position, a pneumatically powered ejection pin is then longitudinally advanced into the contact carrier to eject the contact from the contact carrier into a crimping position. Once the contact is placed within the tool in a crimping position, the wire is then manually placed within the contact. The depression of a trigger automatically and serially activates the advancement of the contact carrier and ejection of the contact and then to drive four indentor pins into the electrical contact. The contact is mechanically deformed about the wire. The operation may then be repeated on the next serially connected contact within the bandoleer of contacts.

Abstract: An improved bandoleer of contact carriers for use in a power crimping tool is provided by assembling a plurality of separate contact carriers. Each contact carrier has a uniform exterior size and shape and is further provided with a male connector radially extending from one side, and the diametrically opposite side of the contact carrier is provided with a female connector radially extending from the contact carrier. The female and male connectors are arranged and configured to resiliently couple to corresponding and appropriate opposite connectors with the adjacent contact carrier in the bandoleer. The male connector is a longitudinal web having a longitudinal bulbous portion. The female connector is a socket connector having a restricted opening smaller than the bulbous portion of the male connector. However, the inherent resiliency of the female socket allows the restricted portion to expand to permit passage of the bulbous portion of the male connector into the female socket.
