Patent number: 7278871Abstract: An axial thrust bulb socket with bayonet removal of the bulb includes a flat bulb support member mounted in spaced relation to a pair of resilient socket end connectors and having a circular socket opening with a pair of pin retainer tabs extending therefrom toward the socket end connectors and having pin latch notches at ends thereof which open toward the socket end connectors. Pin clearance notches are formed at edges of the socket opening in alignment with guide edges of the tabs. The tabs have pin guide grooves which align with the pin latch notches. A bayonet style bulb can be inserted in the bulb support member by aligning the bayonet pins thereof with the pin notches of the tabs and then inserting the bulb base into the socket opening by axial movement alone until the pins snap into the latch notches. The bulb can be removed in a conventional bayonet manner and can, alternatively, be installed in a bayonet manner for manual replacement.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2006Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Peterson Manufacturing Co.Inventor: Kristofer J. Maschler

Patent number: 5005449Abstract: A hand tool or clamp, which is operable with one hand, includes a fixed jaw and a movable jaw. The movable jaw connects at one end to a movable slide bar. One way drive means, by operation of a trigger handle, releasably engages the slide bar with advances the movable jaw toward the fixed jaw or away from the fixed jaw. Disengagement of the one way drive means will allow for manual return movement of the movable jaw.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1990Date of Patent: April 9, 1991Assignee: Peterson Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Joseph A. Sorensen, Dwight L. Gatzemeyer

Patent number: 4707924Abstract: A locking hole punch for punching holes in metal sheets, particularly metal sheets difficult of access such as metal C-studs, is disclosed. This hole punch comprises an arm member that has a head at the end of an outwardly curved portion and a first handle extending from that curved portion. A first lever member formed in a generally mating outwardly curved configuration is pivotably connected to the arm at the top of the arm handle at a first pivot. A generally straight second lever, which acts as a second handle spaced from the arm handle, is pivotably connected to the first lever member at a second pivot near the first pivot. A toggle member is connected to the second lever at a third pivot and to the arm handle at a fourth pivot. When the arm and second handles are pressed together, the toggle member is driven so that the second, third, and fourth pivots are moved into a straightline alignment so that the punch, which includes a punching pin, is driven into a working position with the head.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1986Date of Patent: November 24, 1987Assignee: Peterson Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventor: Burrell T. Burney

Patent number: 4436445Abstract: A stud anchor is provided for securing to an associated mounting bracket a non-round hollow extension having planar inner wall surfaces which are parallel to a longitudinal axis of the extension. The stud anchor comprises an expandable anchor member having a shank portion and a head with the head comprising a plurality of resiliently deformable segments. The segments each include an outer surface which is biased into frictional contact with an associated inner wall surface of the extension securing the extension to the stud anchor.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1981Date of Patent: March 13, 1984Assignee: Peterson Manufacturing Co.Inventor: Arthur R. Templeman

Patent number: 4390936Abstract: A suspension mount is provided for suspending a light bulb in a lamp housing for use on vehicles, which mount inhibits the transmission of vibrations to the filaments in the light bulb. The mount is molded of a resilient material and comprises a light bulb receiving cup integrally formed with and suspended between two arms which support the mount on an associated housing. The arms are generally trapezoidal in plan view and have triangular recesses formed therein. Tubular members, having apertures therein, are formed in free ends of each arm. The tubular members fit over pegs extending outwardly from a surface of the lamp housing such that the mount is retained spaced apart from the housing surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1981Date of Patent: June 28, 1983Assignee: Peterson Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Charles A. Slater, Jr., Spencer A. Darby

Patent number: 4380793Abstract: A submersible vehicular lamp assembly comprises a base plate, an elastomeric lens base and a lens body. A lip member extends from lens body side walls and is snugly received within a groove formed in a surface of the elastomeric lens base to form a sealed, watertight inner cavity. A light bulb is resiliently mounted in the inner cavity to dampen the bulb from road induced vibrations, shocks and the like. Associated wiring for the lamp assembly passes through apertures in the lens base which are smaller than the thickness of the individual wires to prevent entry of water, dust, and other damaging elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1980Date of Patent: April 19, 1983Assignee: Peterson Manufacturing Co.Inventor: Virgil W. Potts
