Abstract: Cable brackets are formed out of wire and have flat areas swaged into them to provide suitable mounting surfaces. The wire is of sufficient diameter to provide structural rigidity to the bracket and the flattened areas are of such dimension to provide an area sufficiently large enough for a mounting hole.

Abstract: A fastener and receptacle arrangement is utilized to perpendicularly connect two pieces of flat stock material together. One piece of flat stock material includes a hole for insertion of the fastener and the other piece includes an opening for mounting a receptacle. The receptacle is secured to that board by a flexible member of the board which engages a recess in the receptacle. The piece of flat stock material with the receptacle secured to it is then perpendicularly secured to the other piece of flat stock material by a fastener which passes through that other piece of flat stock material and fixably engages the receptacle.

Abstract: A tool and method for installing a flexible tube between two or more glass encapsulated reed switches of a multi-capsule reed relay switching assembly. The tool is formed from a steel wire in a wedge shaped structure, adapted to compress when the tubing is fitted over it, exerting pressure against the inside wall of the tubing and narrowing the tubing into an egg-shaped configuration. This allows the insertion of the tubing between the reed capsules with a minimum of interference.

Abstract: A tool and method for installing a flexible tube between two or more glass encapsulated reed switches of a multi-capsule reed relay switching assembly. The tool includes a rectangular horizontally oriented insertion member with a billhook raised at one end. The rectangular insertion member is arranged to narrow the tubing into a slightly egg-shaped configuration when the tubing is fitted over it. The billhook is adapted to partially penetrate an inside wall of the tubing allowing the tool to essentially drag the tubing into place. During installation the tubing collapses against the insertion member reducing the amount of initial interference between the tubing and the glass reed capsules.
