Abstract: A goggle has a replaceable plastic lens mounted in a flexible frame containing several air vents for passing external air through the goggle interior. The lens is formed of thermoplastic materials to provide spherical and cylindrical versions of the lens. The thermoplastic resins incorporate dyes which tint the lens to create transmission curves having peaks and valleys which approximate or enhance certain response characteristics of the retina of the human eye. Inlet air vents are covered by porous foam located in an upper air channel to disperse downwardly the external air into the interior space behind the lens. Outlet vents located in the bottom of the frame are covered with a porous foam to exit air from the interior space.

Abstract: A dual purpose jack (20) connectable to a printed circuit board is capable of accepting an audio plug and a power plug. The audio plug (50) has a projecting pin containing a series of spaced annular external contacts connectable to an audio signal. The projecting pin includes a hollow insulated sleeve which mates with a metal pin (120) of the jack to insulate the audio plug from the power portion of the jack. The power plug (40) includes a projecting pin (42) which is hollow and mates with the metal pin (120) of the jack to form the power contact. The combination jack has various leaf springs which move into engagement with the projecting pins of the two plugs and which are aligned in different planes in order to assist in miniaturization of the jack.

Abstract: A clamping bracket connects an electrical wire to a lip of a grounded utility box so as to ground the wire. The bracket has U-shaped portions and a threaded stud which moves an annular abrading end surface with a center cone point into engagement with the metal plate lip when located between the U-shaped portions. The rear planar member of the U-shape is formed by a leaf spring which slants inwardly and bends rearwardly until the leaf spring is approximately parallel with the front planar member due to engagement of a stop surface on the stud with the front planar member. A plurality of barbs located on the leaf spring assist to prevent inadvertent movement during tightening. The front planar member of the U-shape has side ribs which strengths the front planar member and space a threaded bore from the metal plate lip.

Abstract: An electrical connector such as a miniature power jack contains a single snap-fit post for connection to a printed circuit board. A plurality of alignment posts and electrical terminals also extend from the bottom of a housing. The snap fit post is located off-center in an asymmetrical arrangement and is located closer to an access opening which receives an external plug which is removably insertable over a cylindrical pin connected to one of the terminals. A spring forms a make and break electrical power jack. The snap fit post has an enlarged head with tapered end surfaces and canted shoulders located intermediate between the tapered surfaces and the housing to form a snug interference fit with the printed circuit board aperture. The electrical connectors can be located within specially designed pockets provided on a carrier tape for automatic insertion machinery.

Abstract: A clamping bracket connects an electrical wire to a lip of a grounded utility box so as to ground the wire. The bracket has U-shaped portions and a threaded stud which advances an annular abrading end surface with a center cone point into engagement with the lip when located between the U-shaped portions. The rear planar member of the U-shape is formed by a leaf spring which slants inwardly. The front planar member of the U-shape has side ribs which strengths the front planar member and space a threaded bore from the lip.
