Abstract: A workpiece clamp for holding a workpiece securely to a fixture block or work table during operations, such as machining and woodworking. The clamp includes a body and an insert, the insert having a contact face for applying force to the workpiece. The body preferably held in a cavity in the fixture block surface and the insert received in an inclined or angled recess in the body. The insert preferably includes a bore therethrough, such that a tension bolt can be inserted through the insert and into the body. Threads in the tension bolt can be engaged with threads in the body, drawing the insert along the inclined recess in the body, thereby applying tension to the tension bolt and applying downward and forward forces to the workpiece at the contact face. In one clamp, the body top is flush with or below the surface of the fixture block. In a preferred clamp, when the insert is fully inserted into the body, a small portion of the insert, including the contact face, extends above the fixture block surface.

Abstract: A circuit card ejection device for removing a number of circuit cards from a corresponding number of electrical connectors. An elongate panel is attached to an edge of a number of circuit cards opposite an edge having an edge connector. A first position is defined when the number of circuit cards are seated in and in electrical contact relationship with the corresponding number of electrical connectors. A first ejector lever is pivotally coupled to a first pair of sockets and a second ejector lever is pivotally coupled to a second pair of sockets located at a first and second end respectively of the panel where the plane of each one of the number of circuit cards is positioned between the first pair of sockets and between the second pair of sockets.

Abstract: A device (10) for working soil is disclosed in the preferred form including a grading portion (12) and a raking portion (32) of generally C-shapes. Specifically, the grading and raking portions (12, 32) are formed from planar, central sections (14, 34) and first and second, planar wing sections (16, 18, 36, 38) extending from the opposite ends thereof. The grading portion (12) includes a plurality of spaced, parallel blades (24) secured to the bottom surface of the body portion formed from a tubular beam (20) and a grading plate (22) and arranged at a nonparallel angle to the movement direction to serrate the soil. The blades (24) have elongated lengths greater than the thickness of the body portion and are spaced generally equal to their widths. The raking portion (32) includes a plurality of spaced, parallel, straight teeth (44) securred to a plate (40) and tilted at a forward angle to the movement direction.
