Patent number: 6464101Abstract: The hole plug includes a peripheral planar ledge with a wall formed perpendicular therewith. A gasket seats within the intersection of the planar ledge and the wall. The gasket includes inwardly extending tabs (or “dogs”) which extend into corresponding pockets (or “doghouses”) formed in the wall. This causes the gasket, which is initially provided in a non-tacky state, to be mechanically secured to the hole plug during shipment and assembly prior to installation.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2000Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: George Siragusa, Christopher Michael Pangallo

Patent number: 6322274Abstract: The rod end clip includes a detent head with an aperture therethrough. The aperture provides a pivot point with respect to a rod end onto which the rod end clip is being installed. The detent head subsequently provides a pivot point for the rod with respect to an aperture in a panel into which the detent head is inserted. The rod end clip further includes an arm assembly with a semi-circular seat and a flexible finger. As the rod is pivoted into the arm assembly to be engaged by the semi-circular seat, the flexible finger is urged from an unflexed position to a flexed position. The flexible finger thereafter generates an audible clicking sound as the rod passes from contact with the flexible finger and into the semi-circular seat.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1999Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Marla A. Binotti, James E. Gugle, George Siragusa

Patent number: 4336018Abstract: An electro-optic infantry weapons training system for simulating the firing f a quintet of weapons at a visual target which appears upon a screen. A quintet of trainee riflemen, each of whom is holding a weapon, aim and fire the weapons at the visual target. A visual projector projects upon the screen a background scene including the visual target, while an infrared projector simultaneously projects upon the screen an infrared target. Each weapon includes a sensor element for sensing the infrared target whenever the weapon is correctly aimed at the visual target. The sensor elements are connected in a unique combination with sensor circuits, enable circuits, and an interface circuit so as to provide to a microprocessor computer and an eight-bit microcomputer data words which indicate whether each of the quintet of trainee riflemen have scored a hit upon the visual target.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1979Date of Patent: June 22, 1982Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Albert H.
