Abstract: An electrical connector receptacle for an automotive electric cigar lighter of the type having at its rear, a socket with a central terminal post and an annular electrically-conductive current-carrying sleeve. The receptacle comprises a slab-like body of molded insulating material having opposite grip surfaces to facilitate its installation, and having a generally U-shaped configuration. Between the two legs of the body is a space which provides clearance for the annular sleeve, one leg having a recess that carries a tubular contact terminal adapted to slip over the central terminal post of the socket, this being the "hot" side of the circuit. The other, outer leg constituting the ground side of the circuit, carries a spring contact finger having a bowed configuration with its center portion being cooperable with and juxtaposed to the sleeve of the socket, so as to having electrical connection thereto when the connector receptacle is installed.

Abstract: A tool bit for facilitating the application of a cigar lighter socket to an apertured mounting plate in an automobile, comprising a driving member having a shank receivable in the chuck of a power tool, and a separate shouldered plug member carried by the driving member and having a portion receivable in the mouth of the cigar lighter socket for the purpose of rotatably driving the same. Threads at the rear of the socket are screwed into mating threads of a clamping shell which is usually hand-held at the rear of the panel. The driving member and plug member can rotate with respect to one another against the action of a spring-charged clutch or detent on the members. When the plug member is inserted into the socket mouth it becomes keyed to the socket and effects a rotation of the same as power is applied to the driving member. When the desired torque is reached, the clutch slips, thereby insuring against overtightening and possible damage to the parts.

Abstract: Dispersions of polymer particles in non-aqueous vehicles are prepared by transferring the finely-divided polymer particles directly from an aqueous latex containing about 5 percent to 60 percent by weight of the polymer particles into the non-aqueous vehicle. The resulting dispersions can be used in the production of lithographic inks.

Abstract: Crude phthalocyanine is converted from its crude state to its pigmentary form by (1) milling it with a phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative or a sulfonated phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative in the absence of any milling or grinding aid or by (2) grinding the crude phthalocyanine in the absence of any milling or grinding aid and then blending the ground material with a phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative or a sulfonated phthalimidomethyl phthalocyanine derivative. Without any additional conditioning or purification the pigment product is suitable for use in printing inks, paints, coating compositions, and the like.

Abstract: An encapsulated PTC heater for a cold-start carburetor comprises a ceramic PTC wafer having ohmic terminal means on its opposite faces, and a thickened annular rim portion adapted to withstand appreciable clamping forces. The rim has portions of said ohmic terminal means. An annular metal holder assemblage has opposite ring portions overlying said thickened rim portion, and has ring-like contacts engaged with the rim portion to bring current thereto. One of the ring-like contacts is nested in an insulating annulus to isolate it from the remainder of the metal holder assemblage, and has a terminal lug extending through an insulating bushing to the exterior. The other ring-like contact is resilient in nature, and is clamped against the rim portion of the wafer by lugs of an annular metal housing constituting part of the holder assemblage.

Abstract: A glow-plug ignitor for diesel engines and the like, comprising a tubular body having external screw threads and an adjoining hexagonal formation by which a tool such as a wrench can be applied to the body to screw it into the threaded cavity of a cylinder. Next to the hexagonal formation is a spade lug connector for bringing current to the plug, the connector being so arranged as to permit the application of either a socket-type wrench or else a box-end wrench. The inner end of the body has an elongate projecting pin on which there is a tightly wound resistance coil that becomes incandescent when excited with the proper electric current. The valleys of the coil show higher temperatures, for a given heating current, due to the radiation and reception of radiated heat involving the opposed surfaces; therefore, starts at lower engine temperatures are improved.

Abstract: A stop-light monitor device includes a source of current, a lighting circuit connected with the source and having a stop-light switch actuated by the brake pedal. The lighting circuit has incandescent lamps which are energized when the brake pedal is depressed. A magnetic reed switch is influenced to closed position by a permanent magnet, and is connected to control a solid-state switch which in turn controls a pilot light that becomes illuminated when the solid-state switch is closed in consequence of the reed switch being opened. A current-sensitive coil connected with the lighting circuit, opens the reed switch in response to normal energization of the stop lights, whereby the pilot lamp is energized. If a stop light burns out, the reed switch closes, opening the solid-state switch whereby the pilot light is extinguished, giving an indication of the malfunction.

Abstract: A quick-acting electric cigar lighter employing a bimetallic disk constituting an electric switching member. The disk is secured in place by a mounting stud, utilizing a welding procedure. The welding does not adversely affect the functioning of the switch due to the provision of a central offset portion in the disk, which tends to relieve stresses on the weld, preventing any failure at that location. The lighter is activated by pushing the igniting unit inward to bring the heating element cup into physical contact with the bimetallic disk. Over-stressing of the bimetallic disk is prevented by mounting the same in a recessed insulating block which has lands that are engaged by the cup after a pre-determined amount of actuation of the plug has occurred. An effective, long-life contact between the cup and the disk is had by the use of special metals which co-act to minimize pitting, deterioration, etc., one metal comprising aluminum which cooperates with other metals such as copper or silver. .Iadd.
