Abstract: A telephone distribution frame connector assembly for connecting incoming lines to inside equipment and comprises a module field block, a test field block and an equipment field block, and a frame member for mounting the field blocks to a telephone distribution frame. The field blocks are mounted to the frame member to define a generally rectilinear enclosure having one open side. An access panel is provided for normally covering the one open side of the connector assembly, and a panel securing arrangement is provided for removably, securely engaging a marginal peripheral portion of the access panel with a peripheral edge portion of the open side. One or more of the field blocks includes a plurality of ground terminals located interiorally of the enclosure thus defined. A common ground bus is electrically coupled to all of the ground terminals and an adjustable ground selection arrangement is provided for alternatively coupling the ground bus to one of a frame ground and an isolated ground.

Abstract: A side access panel and associated rear fanning strip for enclosing the otherwise open side of a telephone distribution frame connector assembly. The fanning strip interconnects a rear facing edge of the access panel to a rear edge portion of assembly without the use of fasteners. An engaging means such as a clamping strip may also be included as part of the access panel to engage a front facing edge of the assembly to provide a more secure mounting of the panel over the open side.

Abstract: A control panel supports and positions interchangeable subunit electronic devices and provides a neat and uniform outwardly facing surface. When subunit electronic devices are disconnected from the control panel, cover plates extend and conform to the uniform outwardly facing surface. Hinged support members "lock" in an over center position to rigidly support each cover plate. Electrical connectors protruding from each subunit electronic device "unlock" the hinged support members from the over center position when the subunit electronic device is urged toward the cover plate.

Abstract: A system for spray-washing salt and the like from the underside of a motor vehicle has a hollow handle for connection to a garden hose at a first end and to upward spray nozzles on wheels covered by a body or housing with anti-snag shape, at a second end. Steering the spray nozzles to spray in a desired direction within a wide arc requires only twisting the handle in the direction desired. A flexible portion of the handle or alternatively a flexible handle provides this advantage. A detergent or liquid soap container is fixed upright on the handle in position for preventing a user's hand from striking a vehicle being washed on the underside. The handle and the spray may be detached and used apart from the body for hand-held applications.

Abstract: Electrographic paper is fed over a segmented platen where its dielectric surface receives image defining electrostatic charges deposited by styli bearing directly and successively upon it. The styli are integral to an endless belt moving laterally to the surface. Voltage pulses corresponding to the input information are applied to the segmented platen to produce the electrostatic charges. The latent image charged surface is progressively fed to an image toning and fixing cycle to produce a hard copy.
