Abstract: A switch assembly (10) for installation on a dynamoelectric machine (M). An electrical overload switch (12) is interconnected with the dynamnoelectric machine and electrical conduits (C) are routed thereto for resetting the dynamoelectric machine after it is shut down due to an overload condition. A conduit box (14) has opposed sidewalls (16, 18) and endwalls (20, 22), and an open top and bottom. A bracket (30) on which the switch is mounted is sized to fit in the box for a switch element (32) of the switch to be positioned adjacent an opening (34) in one wall of the box. Dimples (44a, 44b) are formed in the wall against which the bracket is installed. The dimples extend inwardly into the interior of the box and act as stops for the bracket for properly positioning the bracket and switch within the box. A plurality of knockouts (K1-K6) are formed in the sidewalls for providing an opening through which electrical conduits are routed to the switch when a knockout is removed.

Abstract: A contact sensor apparatus with improved sensitivity is provided. A frame defining a surface upon which contact detection is desired has two electrically conductive sheets held in spaced parallel relationship by a plurality of electrically non-conductive insulating spacers attached to the face thereof. A contact force distributor is sandwiched between the outside electrically conductive sheet and a graphics layer. Contact forces on the graphics layer, that are in alignment with the spacers, are redistributed to areas between adjacent spacers by the contact distributor.

Abstract: A contact arrangement for a change-over contact relay has a movable contact spring (2), on the free end (3) of which switching contact pieces (5, 6) are arranged on both sides, the current to be switched being supplied via an electrical connecting line (9) to the switching contact pieces (5, 6). [2.2] In order to permit a mass distribution, which is as symmetrical as possible, in the region of the free end (3) of the contact spring (2) and a supply, which is as loss-free as possible, of the current to be switched to the switching contact pieces (5, 6), [it is provided that] the switching contact pieces (5, 6) are connected directly in an electrically conducting manner to the one end (8) of the electrical connecting line (9). For this purpose, the one end (8) of the connecting line (9) or a switching contact piece (5, 6) preferably has an extension piece, the end face of which forms a joining face for the purpose of producing the electrically conducting connection.

Abstract: A fuel dispensing system, hose assembly and couplings therefor and methods of making the same are provided, the fuel dispensing system comprising a fuel dispensing nozzle construction having an outer fuel receiving inlet and an inner vapor outlet, a fuel dispensing pump construction having an outer fuel dispensing outlet and an inner vapor inlet, and a hose assembly having a first fluid passage therein for conveying fuel from the outer fuel dispensing outlet to the outer fuel receiving inlet and a second fluid passage therein for returning vapors from the inner vapor outlet to the inner vapor inlet, the hose assembly comprising a flexible inner hose having an outer peripheral surface and defining an inner fluid passage therein, and a flexible outer hose having an inner peripheral surface and being disposed around the inner hose, the inner peripheral surface of the outer hose and the outer peripheral surface of the inner hose defining an outer fluid passage therebetween, the inner fluid passage comprising the

Abstract: The holster stores a number of drumsticks--or mallets or other rigid beaters of percussion instruments--for instant and speedy withdrawal by a percussion player during performance if a drumstick needs to be suddenly replaced or added. The holster is a trapezoidal plate, typically of leather, provided with two rows of elastic loops, each row having the same number of identical loops. One row is formed along the long parallel side with wide loop spacing, and the other row along the short parallel side with close loop spacing. Each stored drumstick is inserted through two corresponding opposed loops, one in each row, with the striking end of the drumstick near a close spaced loop. The differential loop spacing between the rows causes the stored drumsticks to radiate out holding end first, and also deforms all loops to grip the drumsticks. The radiating out also causes the drumstick holding ends to be well spread apart for convenient withdrawal of a given drumstick without disturbing its neighbors.
