  • Patent number: 4373112
    Abstract: A cable holder being attachable through a hole of a box plate of a panel board box, using a mounting body into which an insertable resilient member can be slid. The insertable member also is provided with an axial through hole in which a cable is inserted. The insertable member, holding the cable through the hole, is inserted into the hollow cylinder of the body and clamped around the body to thereby hold the cable in the cable holder.

  • Patent number: 4093050
    Abstract: A control device for a braking system of a vehicle including a stationary ferromagnetic plate, a lever pivotally mounted on the plate and operationally connected to a brake pedal to rotate in accordance with the movement of the brake pedal, an electromagnet mounted on the lever and electrical control circuit for the electromagnet whereby when energized the electromagnet is fixed on the plate by attractive force so that the brake pedal is retained at the position. An electric coil of the electromagnet is connected in series to a circuit including in parallel a first switch associated to an accelerator pedal and a second switch associated to a clutch pedal so that the electromagnet is deenergized when both accelerator pedal and clutch pedal are actuated, thereby releasing the brake.

  • Patent number: 4076093
    Abstract: A braking control apparatus for a vehicle which locks and holds the brake pedal of the vehicle in a given depressed position. The apparatus is rendered inoperative when the vehicle is in such a condition that the locking and holding of the brake pedal is undesirable. When starting the vehicle, an accelerator pedal switch operatively connected to the accelerator pedal deenergizes an electromagnet for locking the brake pedal. With the brake pedal locked in any given depressed position, any further depression of the brake pedal results in deenergization of the electromagnet by the brake pedal switch operatively connected to the brake pedal. With the vehicle at rest, when the door is opened, the electromagnet is deenergized by a door switch. Also, during rapid braking of the vehicle, another brake pedal switch which is operatively connected to the brake pedal actuates a latching relay to deenergize the braking control apparatus.

  • Patent number: 3955769
    Abstract: The present invention is an improved yarn feeding device which continuously forms yarn coils from a yarn package on its conical shaped winding body and then feeds the yarn to knitting machines with low and constant tension. A taper angle of the winding body is optionally adjustable according to the stretchability of the treated yarn for pushing the yarn coils smoothly toward a knitting machine.
