Abstract: A method of efficiently bending a lead of an electric part by use of a bender including an upper die and a lower die without denting or scratching the lead and hence causing no peeling of the plating therefrom. The method comprises the steps of: clamping the root portion of the leads between a moving stripper of the upper die and a fixed die member of the lower die; effecting a first motion in which the distal end portion of the lead that is clamped between a moving punch of the upper die and a moving die member of the lower die is pressed downwardly; and effecting a second motion simultaneously with the first motion, in which the moving punch and the moving die member, which clamp the distal end portion of the lead, are moved in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the first motion, thereby bending the lead along an approximately circular locus about the root portion of the lead by a resultant motion from the first and second motions of the moving punch and the moving die member.

Abstract: A simplified drop celing room conversion is accomplished without, in any manner, disturbing the original ceiling of an office or room by providing integral, generally angle-shaped, longitudinally-extending structural members that are to be securely and fully mounted in an endwise-aligned relation on and about walls of the room at a desired lower ceiling height and, in such a manner as to fully and exclusively serve to support and carry a so-called drop ceiling. Each member has a horizontally-outwardly-extending upper shelf part for fully supporting and carrying cross-extending rail members that define open spaces therebetween with the sidewall-mounted supporting structural members, and which with the supporting members, are adapted to tilt-in receive dry wall ceiling panels in the spaces therebetween.

Abstract: A disc player for playing a first disc having data recorded on both sides thereof and also a second disc having data recorded on only one side thereof has disc drive means loadable with one of the first and second discs selectively. Whether the disc loaded on the drive means is the first disc or the second disc is detected from the data read by pickup means. When the second disc is detected, the pickup means is positioned for the data recording side of the second disc automatically so as to reproduce signals therefrom. Accordingly, even if the second disc is loaded with the disc side oriented erroneously, the data can be read from the recording side at all times.
