  • Publication number: 20030159483
    Abstract: A lock apparatus includes a housing having a cylindrical bore formed therein and a cam rotatably mounted in the housing. A cylindrical sleeve having a notch formed therein rotatably mounts in the bore of the housing. A cylinder core inserts into the sleeve and engages the cam. The core including multiple tumblers and the housing has a corresponding number of drivers biased toward the bore and engaging the tumblers through the notch and aligned along the periphery of the bore when a proper key is inserted. When the sleeve is rotated, the drivers are captured in their bores, allowing the core to be easily removed without a tube or special tools and providing for simple rekeying.

  • Patent number: 4818382
    Abstract: The invention of the present document is an improved disc singulator (10) for use in singulating and delivering to a test site (12) an integrated circuit device (14) to be tested by a tester mechanism. The singulator (10) includes structure to positively hold the device (14) within slots (64) formed in the periphery (52) of the disc (10) as it is rotated. A main body portion (16) of the device (14) is, thereby, held so that a plane defined by the main body (16) is oriented generally orthogonal to a plane defined by the disc (10). Additionally, the device (14) is held at an appropriate radial location with respect to the disc (14) so that, as the disc (10) rotates the device (14) carried thereby through a slit (40) in a printed circuit board (36) at the test site (12), contacts (26) of the device (14) will engage corresponding probes (38) at the test site (12).

  • Patent number: 4243314
    Abstract: A photographic printer has a punch marking system for placing cut and end-of-order marks on the photographic paper. The punch marking mechanism is adjustable to accommodate different widths of print paper. The punch marking mechanism includes guide rods which are positioned transverse to the path of the print paper. First and second carriage assemblies are movable along the guide path defined by the guide rods on opposite sides of the center line of the paper path. A lead screw moves both the first and second carriage assemblies along the guide path in an essentially symmetrical manner about the center line of the paper path. The punches or other marking devices are carried on the first and second carriage assemblies.
