  • Patent number: 5911596
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing a conductor to a circuit board. The conductor is configured for being soldered to the circuit board through a first aperture in the board. The apparatus includes a conductor supporting portion having a second aperture therethrough. The conductor supporting portion is configured for coupling to the circuit board. The second aperture substantially aligns with the first aperture when the conductor supporting portion is coupled to the circuit board to permit the conductor to be inserted through both the first aperture and the second aperture. The apparatus includes a tab portion configured for coupling to the conductor supporting portion. A portion of the conductor is thus held substantially immobile between the conductor supporting portion and a first edge of the tab portion when the tab portion is coupled with the conductor supporting portion, thereby preventing the conductor from being broken at the portion of the conductor when the conductor is flexed.

  • Patent number: 4542872
    Abstract: A display terminal device including a tilt and swivel coupling mechanism coupling the display portion to the base portion. The coupling mechanism includes a swivel plate rotatable about a vertical neck extending from the base portion. The swivel plate includes a cylindrical top surface on which a complementary cylindrical surface of the display portion is seated. The cylindrical surfaces are spring biased toward each other by a spring mounted on a fastener extending from the display portion to the swivel plate. A horizontal fastener extends from the housing through horizontal slots in the neck.
