  • Patent number: 4554303
    Abstract: Disclosed are blends of low-melting, slowly crystallizing copolyesters or of substantially amorphous copolyesters having relatively high glass transition temperatures containing very small amounts of low-molecular-weight polyolefins. These blends have sharply increased crystallinity and crystallization rates and provide significant improvements in production because of the enhanced crystallization.

  • Patent number: 4199214
    Abstract: A fused electrical connector of one-piece construction is attached to an electric cable having a conductor core and an insulation jacket. The connector has a ring-shaped contact portion at one end, a U-shaped frame portion having parallel legs attached to the contact portion and a transverse leg longitudinally spaced therefrom, and a crimp barrel projecting from the transverse leg which attaches the connector to the insulation jacket of the electric cable. The connector further includes a cantilevered fuse tongue integrally attached to the contact portion and projecting into the space defined by the U-shaped frame portion. The fuse tongue has a crimp barrel at its free end attaching the fuse tongue to the conductor core of the electric cable.

  • Patent number: 4188003
    Abstract: The drawing illustrates a strain relief bushing adapted for retaining a pair of wire leads in place in a predetermined rectangular opening formed in a panel wall. The bushing includes retention means located adjacent each side of the panel wall once the bushing is installed, for preventing removal of the bushing therefrom. The installed bushing also includes abutment means for flexing the bushing to tightly grip the wire leads disposed therethrough.

  • Patent number: 4186987
    Abstract: An electrical socket connector is detachably connected to a post terminal having axially arranged multiple contacts which successively increase in size. The socket connector comprises a one-piece connector body having a plurality of longitudinal, vertically arranged, successively wider, cavities each containing an appropriately sized terminal and each having an appropriately sized longitudinal slot for the post terminal. The terminals are secured to lead wires and have forward contact portions comprising a pair of side rails which are connected by longitudinally spaced webs and which have inwardly displaced central portions between the webs which biasingly engage the post terminal contacts. The socket connector is sealed by a boot having flaps which close a rear assembly opening and a bottom wall passage which receives the post terminal. The socket connector also includes a connector lock for securing the socket connector to the post terminal.

  • Patent number: 3999095
    Abstract: A lamp socket and bulb assembly includes a socket having a generally rectangularly configured bulb opening and first and second side contacts to stabilize a bulb base against multiplanar reference walls in the socket; and wherein the base includes bulb filament contacts, spaced apart parallel reference surfaces and a pressure pad thereon all axially insertable into the socket to make electrical contact between the first and second side contacts and the bulb filament contacts, having a segment that exerts a force on the pressure pad to locate the parallel reference surfaces against one side wall of the socket and a curvilinear segment that engages an outwardly directed tab on the base to stabilize the base within the bulb opening by exerting a pull-in force thereagainst.
