Abstract: A clockspring connector is provided comprising a housing defining a chamber, including a carrier member having a first roller associated with a first turned-back loop of a first flat conductor cable and a second roller associated with a second turned-back loop of a second flat conductor cable wherein said first and second flat conductor cables are alternatingly coiled at an inner diameter of the chamber adjacent the hub or along said outer diameter of the chamber adjacent the housing wall. The clockspring connector includes a complaint roller member providing compression forces against the flat ribbon cable during rotation of the clockspring connector.

Abstract: A device for opening sealed food bags is mounted on the frame of an electric can opener. The device includes a serrated cutter wheel which is driven by the can opener motor. A guide surface on the frame guides the bag as it is being fed through the cutter wheel. A modified form of the invention includes a pair of idler discs which overlap the cutter wheel. In a third form of the invention, the cutter wheel is not driven, and a pivotal lever is used to maintain the bag against the cutter wheel as it is fed manually through the cutting mechanism.

Abstract: A device for opening sealed bags containing foods of various types. A lever is pivoted to one end of a base plate and carries a serrated cutter wheel which is mounted for free rotation. The base plate has a recess which receives the cutting edge of the cutter wheel when the lever is pressed toward the base plate to a cutting position. The bag is inserted between the lever and base plate and is pulled through the device such that the peripheral teeth of the cutter wheel cut or perforate the bag.
