Abstract: An endless power transmission belt construction and a transverse element therefor as well as a method of making the same are provided, the belt construction comprising an endless flexible carrier and a plurality of transverse belt elements assembled on the carrier. Each belt element has a recess therein defining an intermediate transverse shoulder for engaging the inside surface of the carrier and a pair of inwardly facing shoulders confining the carrier therebetween, each inwardly facing shoulder having an opening interrupting the same and being aligned with the opening in the other inwardly facing shoulder of its respective element. Each belt element has a pin provided with opposed ends respectively disposed in the openings of the inwardly facing shoulders thereof whereby the carrier is confined between the pin and the transverse shoulder of each belt element. The pin of each belt element has its opposed ends snap-fitted into the respective openings of the inwardly facing shoulders thereof.

Abstract: A mailbox and method of making same are provided wherein such mailbox comprises a plurality of enclosing walls, shear pins fastening the enclosing walls together, and a readily opened and closed access door with each of the shear pins having a strength which is substantially less than the strength of the enclosing walls and door so that upon subjecting the mailbox to high impact loads the shear pins shear resulting in disassembly of the mailbox while keeping the enclosing walls and door substantially intact.
