Abstract: A flexible utility body mount assembly is provided for connecting a utility body to the frame of a utility truck. The mount comprises a frame bracket rigidly attached to the truck frame and a body bracket rigidly attached to the utility body. The frame bracket includes a block and a spacer. A compression element travels through a bore within the block and connects the body and frame brackets. The block limits the lateral movement of the mount. The spacer fits between the utility body and the truck frame and allows for proper alignment between the body and frame brackets. The compression element comprises a bolt, a compression spring and a rebound element such that the compression spring is secured about the bottom side of the block while the rebound element is secured about the top.

Abstract: A crane mount assembly having a mounting base and tower, the base having a pair of longitudinal members in parallel spaced alignment with transverse members positioned therebetween, and a top and bottom plate secured between the longitudinal members and the transverse members to create a torsion cell. The tower includes a base plate with a plurality of side panels that extend vertically from the base plate, and a mounting plate that is secured to the top of the side panels to create a hollow chamber.

Abstract: A brake circuit that includes parallel electrical paths extending from the brake controller, through connectors, to the trailer brakes. The circuit having a primary circuit path extending from the power supply to a connector, through a diode to the brakes and back to the power supply and a secondary circuit extending from the power supply to a connector, through a diode to the brakes and a back to the power supply, and a pair of indicator lights connected to each circuit path between the connector and diode at one end and the power supply at the other end.

Abstract: A slidable drawer compartment has parallel side members with elongated bores on the bottom edge therein to slidably receive a support rail. A horizontal slot on the inner side of the side member extends the full length of the side member. The edges of a bottom member are received in the horizontal slot. Also, the inner sides of the side members have vertical slots at each end of the side members that dwell in a substantially vertical plane. A pair of panels are received in the vertical slots of the side members engaging the ends of the bottom member to close the compartment.

Abstract: An arming wire extractor controlled tension device for an aircraft delive weapon comprising a controlled tension device which comprises a coil of wound wire with a straight end that is pulled through an orifice that allows the application of a force for extracting the arming wire such that it yields a relatively constant force and the angle of pull through the orifice is not a significant variable in firing.

Abstract: A break-away retention device for restraining a missile against launching rust until a predetermined thrust level has been attained is disclosed which employs a preweakened tensile link within a compression barrel. The barrel supplies flexural rigidity and physical protection to the preloaded portion of the tensile link. Tensile preload is adjustable to any predetermined level less than the ultimate strength of the tensile link.
