  • Patent number: 5393294
    Abstract: Method for producing sheets of corrugated cardboard with a variable format in which a web of corrugated cardboard is removed continuously from a heating and pulling device of s conventional corrugated cardboard installation. The sheets are processed to the required format in at least one longitudinal cutting and grooving device. For this purpose the web is conveyed through a pulling device. A cross cutter cuts the sheets of corrugated cardboard from the cardboard web according to a preset format. The cardboard web is conveyed to a cross cutter for the corrugated cardboard sheets in the direction of conveyance without cutting them crosswise. When the format is changed, the area of the web of corrugated cardboard where the formats overlap is cut out by the cross cutter and removed to a waste container through a trap.

  • Patent number: 5372524
    Abstract: A rectangular multiple connector has a connector shell surrounding a contact support insulator having contacts fixed therein in two rows. The connector shell includes conductive projection members having a required rigidity provided at both the ends of the contact support insulator. Two conductive side plates are provided along side surfaces of the contact support insulator and fixed at their ends in the projection members. With this arrangement, both the ends of the connector shell having projection members mainly support torsional or bending forces created upon connecting the connector to a mating connector without occurrence of any deformation of connector shell, thereby ensuring complete connection between the contacts of the connectors.

  • Patent number: 5326282
    Abstract: A miniature multiple electrical connector consists of a plug connector and a receptacle connector having an insulating block and a metal shell. The metal shell is fixed to the insulating block by fitting anchoring protrusions provided along both sides of the insulating block in anchoring apertures of fixing tongues provided on the metal shell. When the plug connector is being inserted into the receptacle connector, the metal shell of the receptacle connector is likely to be deformed by a metal shell of the plug connector. In order to prevent such a deformation of the metal shell, there is provided means for anchoring the center of the metal shell weakest in mechanical strength to the insulating block or means for preventing application of a force to the center of the metal shell when the plug connector is being inserted into the receptacle connector.

  • Patent number: 5303466
    Abstract: A surface mounting method for mounting an electronic part having a great number of contacts onto a circuit board. A jig provided with dummy contacts is prepared whose size, number and arrangement are substantially the same as those of contacts of an electronic part to be mounted on a circuit board. The dummy contacts of the jig are then fitted with mating contacts which are to be fitted with the contacts of the electronic part. Thereafter, the jig provided with the dummy contacts fitted with the mating contacts is mounted onto the circuit board at a predetermined position thereon. The mating contacts are then mounted and fixed onto the circuit board. The jig is then removed from the circuit board. The contacts of the electronic part are then fitted with the mating contacts fixed to the circuit board. As an alternative, double ended socket contact members are prepared, each having socket contacts on both ends.
