Abstract: A bottle carrier comprising a main carrier body substantially of the shape of a plate, retaining parts each formed of a pair of opposed arms and extended outwardly from the corners of the longitudinal edges of the main carrier body, legs extended from the opposite longitudinal edges of the main carrier body and allowed to thrust out through spaces intervening between the leading ends of the respective arms, and separators formed one each at the tips of the legs, with all the aforementioned component parts formed within one substantially flat plate, the arms having the respective leading portions thereof bent arcuately in the backward direction to form engaging pieces, the legs having the respective basal portions thereof formed in a decreased wall thickness to give rise to hinge portions, whereby the barrel portions of bottles are brought into contact with the separators and the neck portions of the bottles are wrapped by the arms and fastened by the engaging pieces so as to bind the bottles to each other.

Abstract: A temperature-responsive electrical switch is provided which has a pair of axial leads, one of which is connected to the cylindrically-shaped electrically conductive housing, and the other of which passes through an insulator into the interior of the housing. A cylindrical-shaped, slideable electrical contact which is open at one end is positioned in the housing. A coil spring is located inside the slideable contact between the bottom end of the contact and an enlarged section of the insulator. The contact has a plurality of spring fingers which are integrally formed from the bottom of the contact and which project upwardly from the bottom of the contact toward the head of the insulated lead. A thermally-sensitive pellet, which melts at a predetermined temperature and is formed to have a cavity in it, is positioned below the spring fingers. The pellet is dimensioned transversely so as to force the fingers into contact with the head of the insulated lead.
