Patent number: 8469423Abstract: A multi-section telescoping pole for manipulating a tool. Sections of the pole have apertures. A pinch safety locking assembly includes a button configured for movement by a digit on a user's hand to a first position by a first resilient member when received in aligned first and second apertures to restrain the second section from moving relative to the first section and to a second position against a resistance provided by the first resilient member and against an elastic stop to permit relative longitudinal movement between the first and second sections. The pinch safety locking assembly is additionally configured to facilitate assembly by movement of the button by use of an excessive force to a third position against a combined resistance of the first resilient member and the elastic stop to permit relative movement between the pinch safety locking assembly and the second section.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2012Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Hastings Fiber Glass Products, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J.

Patent number: 4482198Abstract: The subject shunt connector has an integral housing of rigid insulative material and a single terminal mounted therein. The housing defines a pair of parallel, spaced male or pin terminal receiving passages extending between front and rear faces, and a slot interconnecting portions of the passages. The terminal has a pair of parallel contact arms interconnected at opposite ends by cross bars and a tine intermediate the arms. The terminal is so mounted in the housing that it can engage a pin terminal inserted from either face of the connector without being damaged or dislodged.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1982Date of Patent: November 13, 1984Assignee: AMP IncorporatedInventor: Daniel J.

Patent number: 4236667Abstract: A low insertion force, handfed card reader is disclosed comprising a housing having a profiled passageway therein opening to a frontal side. The passageway is defined by a top wall having an array of contacts mounted therein, and a bottom wall slanted downwardly from a backward end of the passageway toward the frontal opening. A tray is provided within the passageway having a like-slanted bottom surface which is positioned against the bottom wall of the passageway. An encoded card can be freely inserted into the passageway a distance onto the tray, and as the tray is slid backward along the bottom wall, the encoded card is thereby moved upwardly against the contacts. A profiled retention spring system is further provided and pressures the encoded card against the top surface of the passageway to maintain the card reader in its read-mode until subsequently released by the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1979Date of Patent: December 2, 1980Assignee: AMP IncorporatedInventors: Daniel J.
