Abstract: A device for storing and carrying collapsible hose comprising an enclosure having an aperture therein, a reel rotatable in the enclosure, means for rotating the reel, a fixture on and rotatable with the reel adapted for extension out of the enclosure through the aperture, the fixture having a tongue for gripping the hose intermediate its length to draw up the hose onto and around the reel upon rotation thereof, and a guide on the housing for maintaining the hose in windable position as the hose is drawn around the reel during rotation thereof, said hose being adapted for removal from the device upon rotation of the reel in a direction opposite to its hose winding direction.
Abstract: A support for securing a circuit board on an apertured panel, wherein the support has a slot for slideably receiving and a tab for releaseably holding a circuit board therein, and a quarter turn fastener engageable in the panel aperture, said fastener and aperture having cooperating means for receiving said support and locking means for mounting the fastener upright on the panel upon manipulating the fastener a quarter turn in the aperture.
Abstract: A quarter turn locking fastener device consisting of a socket part adapted to snap engage into an apertured chassis and to support an apertured panel spaced apart from the chassis, and a complemental stud part adapted for selected locking and unlocking engagement through the panel aperture and into the socket part upon a quarter turn of the stud part relative to the socket part to removably secure the panel spaced apart from and on the chassis and to lock the socket part to the chassis when the stud part is in locked condition.
Abstract: A chassis connector and circuit board clip for electronic equipment, said clip having a pair of upright spaced apart legs, each having anchor means for mounting in a slotted chassis, a wall bridging the legs for supporting a circuit board spaced apart from and in alignment with a connector, and a locking tooth carried by one of the legs for holding the edge of an aligned circuit board relative to the chassis and connector. The clip is molded in one piece from plastic dielectric insulating material and one modification thereof also includes means for securing the connector to the chassis.
Abstract: A circuit board ejector for snap-on attachment to an apertured circuit board or other electronic component slidably mounted in a rack or chassis, operable to initiate sliding of the circuit board for removal from or insertion into the chassis, and to a chassis -- circuit board combination including such ejectors.
