Abstract: A sheathed receptacle device for securing objects within an associated enclosure includes an object receptacle having outwardly-extending tabs which engage with respective slots in the enclosure to secure the receptacle within the enclosure. In a particular embodiment, the receptacle includes gripping portions integrally formed with the outwardly-extending tabs in a cantilevered body having a spring action such that manual depression of the gripping portions directly actuates the tabs into and out of respective slots in the associated enclosure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tandem rear suspension for a motor vehicle having a forward driving axle and a rearward dead axle. Left and right leaf springs are pivotally connected to the vehicle frame and have their forward and rearward ends pivotally connected to the forward and rearward axles, respectively. Forward and rearward pairs of suspension arms interconnect the forward and rearward axles with the vehicle frame. The arms of each pair extend forwardly and inwardly. A stabilizer bar is interposed between the rear dead axle and the vehicle frame. Pneumatic springs are interposed between the forward axle and the frame to provide a means for controlling vehicle height. The suspension is particularly well adapted to a commercial vehicle chassis such as used in motor homes and buses where ride and handling are important considerations.
